This seminar will show you how the best managers and organizations encourage, collect and implement large numbers of employee ideas. It will show you the principles involved, the benefits you can expect, and the pitfalls you could meet along the way and how to avoid them. Front-line ideas are a powerful engine that can help you attain performance excellence and generate sustainable competitive advantage. The best leading indicator of your unit's future performance is the number of implemented ideas you are getting right now.

The focus of this course is on managing the myriad of details that go into an effective work day and a successful professional career. Learn what top performers know, do and say about professional productivity and effective leadership. Organize your ideas, projects and tasks and learn how to prioritize meetings, emails, and professional goals. Practice specific time and action management strategies you can implement immediately at your desk and with your team.

This interactive program will take you through an effective and immediately useful education that instills personal accountability in the work environment. When the learning is applied and the three tools are used, personal accountability will result in less time spent managing and more time coaching and mentoring. You will take an Accountability Assessment on-line that starts your learning journey and receive feedback on the results at the session.

This practical and engaging session will teach participants techniques that allow them to see around corners, anticipate the next big things, and make wise decisions that hold up in situations of uncertainty and volatility. Participants will sharpen skills in forecasting, learn how to pick key issues and early signals from a flood of information, reduce uncertainty to manageable levels, think in the future tense, and multiply intelligence through structured collaboration.

This workshop will provide the skills your need to evaluate your existing performance metrics, and to develop a well-balanced set of measures linked to your vision, key success factors and overall strategic plan. You will learn how to select metrics that balance the needs of shareholders/stakeholders, customers, and employees.

One of the top problems in the work world today is the failure to distinguish what is "noticed" (the facts of the situation) from what is "imagined" (opinions, thoughts, evaluations, conclusions). Think of how often people operate and make decisions as if their opinions are fact rather than exploring the real truth. This misdiagnosis becomes even more exacerbated when people have different agendas, goals, and backgrounds. This workshop will demonstrate tools and techniques for improving open, honest communication and provide a forum to practice them.
