Description
in a Hyper-connected World
An Agile For Executives Morning Seminar & Workshop
Presented by Rod Collins, former Chief Operating Executive of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal Employee Program, expert on next-generation management practices, and author of Wiki Management: A Revolutionary New Model for a Rapidly Changing and Collaborative World.
Companies like Amazon, Google, Whole Foods, Gore Industries and Zappos deliver more value to customers faster by leveraging collaborative networks and enabling their workers to respond quickly to change. But leadership in faster, smarter organizations requires new skills and management techniques.
You need to learn how to be a catalyst and facilitator rather than a command-and-control boss. You need to establish processes that actively engage employees in organizing their work and delivering maximum value to customers. Mandating Agile or Lean techniques for work teams is not enough: leaders need to understand how to cultivate collaboration and customer feedback at all levels of the organization.
Who should attend:
- CxOs, Presidents, VPs, General Managers, Directors, and heads of business units
- Business and technical leaders implementing Agile or Lean practices
- Organizational development experts
What You Will Learn:
In this half-day workshop, learn innovative management practices that will help your company:
- Deliver new and enhanced products on schedule
- Improve customer loyalty and satisfaction
- Recruit and retain top talent
- Stay ahead of nimble competitors
The event will include lecture, a hands-on workshop on collaborative decision-making, and time for networking with peers. Hot breakfast buffet included.
