Finance and Innovation:  Reinvent Your Department and Your Company 

August 3, 2018    9 am Central Time

How can so many great companies lose their way and fall into a steep decline or even disappear?  Once very successful and profitable companies are now a ghost of their former glory or names we can barely remember.  This session explores how companies succeed through innovation or fail because they are unable to deal with the next wave of change. More importantly, we will discuss how you, your department and your organization can profit from being more innovative.

 

Find Your Strengths

August 10, 2018   9 am Central Time

Gone are the days of personality testing geared to ‘fix’ our weaknesses.  Welcome to the art of capitalizing on your strengths and improving your career and the careers of those around you!  This session, will help you identify your strengths and embrace them.  We will also help you identify strengths in others and use this information to build stronger teams designed to problem solve and build forward momentum!

 

Business Strategy & Leadership

August 17, 2018     9 am Central Time

Business strategy and leadership are inextricably linked.  Strategy must be more than an annual process that produces a shelf-ready five-year plan in a three-ring binder.  Strategy and leadership are wasted efforts without execution.  Planning without execution is hallucination.  This webcast will provide valuable insight regardless of industry, business maturity, or current business volatility into how to lead strategy development and execution in your own organization.
