    Increase Performance through Learning (and Enjoyment!)Available to Executive Members

    Webcast: May 21, 2008
    A key component to running a business is increasing the performance of your people. However, in almost all situations the drive for performance blinds people and they fail to make the strides intended. Our singular focus on performance creates barriers to the two other key components of the performance formula, learning and enjoyment. This webcast will cover the "why" and "how" to increase individual and team performance through enjoyable learning. We'll explore why awareness of biases in our thinking is key to making geometric gains in learning, enjoyment and performance. You will learn how to develop business processes that tap learning and enjoyment, and ultimately deliver top performance. If you're a line manager or talent development specialist, you'll leave with actions to boost talent performance through productive thinking and enjoyable learning.

    Thinking Diversity: An Express Elevator to the Top of the Value ChainAvailable to Executive Members

    Webcast: September 4, 2008
    Thinking diversity (the different ways people think) creates an environment that realizes "maximum value", in individuals and teams. Through a blend of competition, co-operation and conformity, thinking diversity develops a superior results-orientation, leveraging motivations for innovation. The speed, clarity, and accuracy of diversity thinking cuts through the tangled web of cultural stereotypes, to provide accurate maps of each team member's internal motivations. Compared to "cultural diversity", thinking diversity is an "express elevator" directly linked to the value structure of individuals and organizations. Results will be presented from thinking diversity across cultures in the US, India and Sweden. You'll discover talent management opportunities from leveraging value structures to enhance human relationships, team dynamics and organizational performance.

    With insights to thinking diversity, managers have the ability to honor the uniqueness of each person in light of tasks that must be accomplished. Without such awareness, ineffective or immature managers will either treat everyone the same way, or on the basis of a limiting cultural stereotype or expect their direct reports to adapt to the manager's "personality." Whether you manage talent directly or coach someone who does, this webcast will expand your thinking and what you contribute to team effectiveness.

    Webcast take-aways

  • Leverage thinking diversity to maximize human talent, build effective teams and achieve superior organization performance
  • Benefits and management challenges
  • Case study comparing the US, India and Sweden
  • Honor the uniqueness of each contributor in light of tasks that must be accomplished, even when the pressure is high
  • Move from a good team to a great team that knows each other, and become a fabulous team that knows no limits

    Creating A Value Focused Business CultureAvailable to Executive Members

    Webcast: April 21, 2008
    When you walk into a value-driven organization you know it. Interactions have inspired energy, and people embrace a common vision driven by a shared value structure. In organizations like these managers spark each person's motivations, teams sign up for stretch goals and fulfilled development plans are evidence of the organization's greatest asset- their talent.

    The formal science of axiology identifies the value structure that motivates people, making it possible to succeed under pressure. On an organizational level it creates the goal alignment to sustain a compelling vision. If you're in HR, it will equip you with the tools to sit on the executive team. If you're a manager, you can lead value-driven teams that achieve great results. Organizations that do all this by design create a value-driven culture. Join us to learn practical examples from organizations that are successful at leveraging their value structure (and learning from unsuccessful cultures).

    Don't miss these webcast take aways:

  • Understand the valuing process that is a person's unique pattern of thinking
  • Identify dimensions of value to tap powerful personal motivations
  • Leverage what people want to do to create development plans that achieve aligned objectives
