 Blind Curves: Negotiating the Perils of Change
Jim Harris
Principle, Strategic Advantage
We are experiencing a faster rate of change than ever before. Companies'
restructure, merge, downsize and reorganize. Technology is changing
at a dizzying rate. Individuals feel overwhelmed by work. At times it
seems impossible to keep up with the changes. Yet, the rate of change
is accelerating. The key to avoid being blind-sided is increasing the
speed of recognizing and responding to change.
Jim will extend the concepts from session 202, Blindsided!. He will
address several principles to help you navigate the perils of change.
Jim will uncover key laws shaping the future, offer pertinent, useful
strategies and examples on how to avoid being blindsided, and then entertain
your questions.
Exclusive luncheon presentation
Wednesday, March 9, 1:00 – 2:00pm
 Change-Oriented Leadership: Roadmap to the Business Within
Dean Meyer
President, NDMA
For leaders ready to take their organizations to the next level of
performance -- those who are tired of fighting alligators and are ready
to drain the swamp -- there's a scientific way to plan a transformation
process. Dean will guide you through the process of describing your
vision of a high-performance business-within-a-business, measuring the
gaps, diagnosing the organizational root causes of the gaps, and developing
a leadership action plan to implement their vision. He will extend the
concepts from session 402, Understanding the business-within-a-business,
and offer tools you need to systematically build a high-performance
organization and then entertain your questions.
