Developing Learning/Business Unit Partnerships
Adapting to continuous changes in technology, customer preferences, market dynamics, and innovation requires continuous learning. And yet some organizations’ learning and organizational development groups are not aligned to the strategic imperatives of the business. This speech addresses the questions, process, and business acumen required of learning professionals in order to build partnerships with their business unit colleagues.
Effectiveness, Engagement, and Execution
Knowledge Worker Productivity
Effectiveness is getting results today in a way that allows us to get those results over and over again. In the workplace, that requires managers to clarify goals, engage the whole person (body, mind, heart, and spirit), and master the art of accountability. However, managers can only create the conditions for execution. Individuals must also view themselves as not only a job description, but as problem solvers with individual, unique contributions to make.
