Webcast:
In today's busy corporate environment, efficiency and scale are key. We have come to believe that the more people we reach with our message and our programs, the greater impact we will have. As a result, we oftentimes sacrifice depth, breadth and impact of a solution for the magnitude of reaching the employee population. Daphne Schechter, President of Schechter Consulting and Professor of Communications at Emory University's Goizueta Business School, will walk us through how programs, processes, and technology can be carefully woven together to bring the human touch to Leadership Development. Through targeted employee branding, programmatic elements, and properly sequenced follow-through and measurements, you can make Leadership Development live and breath in your organization. Technology cannot be the methodology; it is simply the engine that makes solutions run.
