Successfully Managing Organizational Change Initiatives |
| Given today's
environment, all organizations are required to continually change.
However, reports indicate that two-thirds of organizational change
efforts fail. Why? What can be done to increase the chances that your
change initiative will be successful? This talk includes a model that
integrates all the different management change approaches, as well
as practical advice to increase your chances for success. |
How to Produce Breakthroughs...Intentionally |
| How do breakthroughs
happen? Do they depend upon the serendipitous convergence of people
and events? Are they what happens when enough money, sweat, equipment,
and neurons are hurled at a problem? Most of us would say yes to both
of these. However, there may be another, more reliable way they can
arise. This may be hard to imagine possible, because breakthroughs
have historically been hard won. This presentation is a thought-provoking
discussion about taking breakthroughs beyond serendipity. |
Resolving Conflicts |
| Most of us think
conflict is bad. Yet without conflict life is boring and creativity
suffers. When conflicts arise, we are often unsure what to do, or
we feel we have to choose between attack, defend, surrender, or just
leave - none of which look like desirable solutions. This talk teaches
you how to constructively resolve both interpersonal and inter-organizational
types of conflict. |
Conducting Effective Meetings |
| Most people complain
about meetings: there are too many, they are too long, aren't focused,
don't produce results worth the investment, and so on. This talk will
introduce you to techniques that enable you to cut your meeting time
in half and consistently produce effective results. This approach
will have people want to come to your meetings. |
Getting Business Strategies to Pay Off |
| Often brilliant
strategies just don't seem to get off the ground. In this presentation
you will learn how to have your vision, your company culture, the
marketplace, and your business strategy all marching in step to realize
success. In addition, you will see how to change your company culture
to one that supports your business strategy. |
Keeping World Class Employees |
| When most new
hires don't work out it's because they didn't fit in. Learn how to
significantly improve your "home runs" in finding and selecting
employees. See how a well-designed orientation program can insure
that the new employee quickly becomes a member of the company team. |
Business Plans:
Off the Shelf and Into Action! |
| Most
business plans gather dust on the shelf. You will learn how to successfully
implement your business plans so they live in the daily actions of
the company personnel. |
Strategic Planning
From the Future: Designing A Future Of Breakthroughs |
| Company business
strategies are usually designed as extrapolations of the past. You
might improve your production and marketing of whale oil, but you
won't see the electric light putting you out of business. In this
presentation, you will learn how to design your business future from
the future, building in breakthroughs and extraordinary performance. |
Why Don't People Do What They Say They Will Do? |
| People often
don't do what they say they will or what they are asked to do, despite
good intentions and sincerity. If you are a manager or anyone who
leads, this presentation will teach you how to speak powerfully to
reliably cause action. |
Having Fun Selling |
| If you sell,
whether products, services, or ideas, this presentation can turn sales
from effort into fun. You'll find that the problem isn't what you
are doing; it is how you are doing it. This presentation can help
anyone become a powerful, successful, salesperson. |
Producing Results Without Telling People What To Do |
| How to produce
results without using command and control? This talk points out that
it isn't what you say, but how what you say matches the other person's
"reality". When you get the intended results and their "reality"
to match, stand out of the way! |
Powerful Teams |
| Teams almost
always outperform groups of individuals. This talk answers the questions:
Why? When should you have a team, and when you shouldn't. How to form
a team. And how to evaluate what is missing to being a team. |
|
Transforming Organizational Cultures
|
| The reason many
organizations and projects fail is not due to lack of knowledge or
good intentions, but that the culture of the organization did not
support the strategy. This is frequently seen as the cause for the
failure of many mergers and acquisitions, organizational change initiatives
such as restructuring, downsizing, TQM, and reengineering. This talk
provides an overview of a reliable, rapid method for transforming
organizational cultures without generating "resistance to change." |
Helping Employees Deal Successfully With Change |
| In today's world,
change is "business as usual." This talk provides guidance
for managers who are wondering how they can help their employees deal
effectively with a world that is constantly in flux, where nothing
seems stable, and where nothing appears certain. |
