    Everyone seems to be talking about culture, but almost everyone is talking about the “what,” not the “how.” It’s one thing to know what you want your company environment to be like, or that “diversity” matters to you, or that you want your team to feel valued, but it’s another thing to plot a course to actually get there. Working on organizational culture means understanding culture as an accelerant and catalyst, rather than simply as a product or end-goal. Our mission is to build the framework of an evolving, dynamic culture that not only accepts every person, but also allows for and encourages every single person to get better, all the time. Everyone gets to belong, and everyone gets to be launched.

    Learning Objectives:

    - Shift your understanding of culture as an answer to “How?” rather than “What?” and why that matters
    - Articulate the conditions for team member thriving regardless of industry or team size
    - Create those conditions through 4 bodies of work, as described by Accelerant Culture
    - Identify “toxic cultures” that derail your team from getting better

    The next wave of economic recovery for your company will come from your Subject-Matter-Experts called SMEs. In the 21st Century smart companies are leveraging the inventiveness, ingenuity, creativity, and “tricks of the trade” to be found in their remaining workforce. This is your final warning: In order to ride the next wave of economic growth, to shorten the learning curves and expand market share, you need to access the assets available to you. Many of the skills, knowledge and abilities – SKAs – you need now are already available in your SMEs. On a list of executive-related business issues, your biggest company concern for 2023 is filling the skills-gap by leveraging the talent from your SMEs. [Forbes.com]. Your inability to attract, retain and develop the talent from your SMEs will hurt your pace for providing continual improvement, defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain at your company. Recruit your SMEs to deliver training. Your SMEs possess the highest level of SKAs for specialized jobs in your company. Invest in your SMEs by providing them a Train the Trainer System. As more companies streamline their budgets, they will need their SMEs to create wealth.

    Thrive Through Artificial Intelligence Impact, Disruption & Change, and Today’s Sea of Sameness. Seven powerful forces have joined together and are gunning for your job, to displace your department and to reinvent and disrupt your industry. Complacency and clinging to the status-quo are the death knell to individuals, teams and organizations. Among these forces...

    • Artificial Intelligence Impact - Upon Individuals, Teams and Organizations
    • White-Collar Robots
    • Revolutionary and World-Changing Software
    • Expansion of Internet Capabilities
    • Today’s ‘Commoditized Economy’ (Sea of Sameness)

    We are in a brawl with few rules, where the fast, flexible, and agile will eat and spit out the slow, over-thinking, and complacent. Individuals and organizations that fail to adapt will find themselves vulnerable, and at the mercy of other people, events, or the competition. In this New World of Work, leveraging ideas, speed, talent, distinction and leadership at all levels will separate top performing individuals and organizations from the laggards.

    The white waters of change are unnerving for many. But the fact is they will only become more turbulent. For organizations and employees who are unprepared, the future will be devastating. Adapting to and embracing change – igniting engagement, passion, ownership and creativity that is often lacking during times of disruption, is the preeminent competency individuals and teams must cultivate.

    Learn what it will take to thrive and excel in the New World of Work - Future Work.
