*This conference session requires registration and payment.

Positioning for Challenging Times
Market disruption—in both supply and demand—can put a ‘pause’ on your business growth, threatening exit plans, employment, and new product development needed to maintain a competitive edge, much less the bottom line. Those who are open to change can thrive. This session will take you through market positioning, and the process to discover and position for entry into new products, capabilities, or markets.

How to Develop Immediate Buy-In, Participation and Contribution to Change
Implementing change in a company is difficult, to say the least. According to Gallup research, more than 70% of change initiatives do not achieve their objectives. Among the major causes cited: Lack of employee engagement and employee resistance to change. This presentation presents techniques, proven in use for over 25 years, that have helped companies reliably accomplish large-scale, sustainable change. Using these techniques has helped companies achieve operational excellence, create an improvement-seeking culture, attract, and retain employees and implement ongoing digital transformation. Takeaways include techniques to achieve organization-wide buy-in in as little as 1 day, and meaningful, sustainable results in weeks.
