General Session:
|
| |
Every organization's survival depends on strategic experiments that target emerging, untested
markets, but few firms understand how to implement them successfully. Too many managers think
that a great idea is enough to get them from business plan to profitability, but somewhere in
the middle of the innovation process, most organizations stumble. Govindarajan reveals where
firms go wrong on their journey from idea to execution?and outline exactly what it takes to build
a breakthrough business while sustaining excellence in an existing one

Leadership Keynote: Ego's Role in Moving from Good to Great
|
| |
Steve Smith, acclaimed author whose work is sold in 17 languages and 40
countries, has spent the past five years researching the economic impact of
ego on business and talent. His research shows ego is estimated to lose $1.1
billion in revenue for the average Fortune 500 company. The result of his
work, egonomics, will be published by Simon & Schuster in 2007. In his
keynote Steve will share research showing how ego-when properly
balanced-moves from a liability to an asset. Similar to Jim Collins' work on
the role of humility in moving form good to great, Steve Smith has found
that ego plays a critical role in balancing professional will with personal
humility to achieve sustained excellence. This interactive session includes
an assessment and practical tools to apply these concepts for yourself and
your organization.

Talent Keynote: Building the Learning-Centered Organization
|
| |
All change happens at the individual, not the organizational, level and requires the involvement,
commitment, and skill development of all key stakeholders. What does it mean to be learning-centered
and what changes does it require? Who has a stake in these changes and what are their primary interests?
Noel Tichy, who ran GE's Crotonville school during the start of the Welch era, addresses how to involve
stakeholders in the change process and how to build and sustain commitment to the vision of a learning-centered
institution. The workshop will highlight the skills needed in a learning-centered environment and identify
obstacles, ways to overcome them, and tools to measure, monitor, and recognize progress.

From Human Resources to Human Capital: HR Transformation as a Business Leader
|
| |
Nearly 80 percent of companies globally have completed, or are in the process of,
HR transformation. They are being driven by the need to align the HR function
more closely with business objectives and by the desire to offer more strategic
support to the organization. But many HR departments have yet to deliver improvements
from the transformation process, and there remains a significant gap between
what is expected of HR leaders and what they deliver. This best-practice panel
will explore the core components of leading edge human resource functions and
how they create competitive advantage for their business partners.

Hiring Tomorrow's Workforce: Branding Pitfalls and Strategies from the Selection Forecast
|
| |
Employment branding has been a hot topic over the past couple of years, but how much do organizations
really know about what is important to today's job seekers and the new millennial workforce? With so
much on the line, understanding job seekers' preferences and the impression that people within your
organization make on job seekers can heavily influence their decision to come to work for you. DDI
and Monster recently completed an extensive survey of over 4,000 job seekers as part of a Selection
Forecast. Scott Erker, SVP Selection for DDI, will address the top seven hiring turn-offs and what
candidates really think when they walk out of your office. Panelists will discuss how you can improve
your hiring process to attract the best candidates-instead of driving them to your competitor.

Blue Ocean Strategy: Gaining Competitive Advantage Through Value Innovation
|
| |
The roots of business strategy lie in warfare: Battling in known competitive territory along well-defined
rules where adversaries fight for the same territory, using similar weapons. What results is a "red ocean",
turned red by the blood of battle, where all who participate suffer losses. An alternative view is one
of Strategy as Exploration: Searching for undiscovered waters, "blue oceans" where the aim is to reinvent
your value offering away from that of your competition. The goal is to make your value offering so
uniquely distinctive that it makes the competition irrelevant. Dr. Franck Schuurmans from Decision Strategies
International will introduce this alternative view of Value Innovation as a framework to help managers evaluate
the competitive factors and conceptualize new business models. Dr. Schurrmans will co-present a case study to
show the principles in practice and the potential business outcomes you can achieve in your organization.
