Have you ever developed “the plan”—you know, the one that will solve all your woes? It’s a solid plan, a winner, but upon implementation, it just sputters and stalls. Too often we strategize in a vacuum, failing to incorporate the input and feedback from our most trusted resource—our people. In this session, participants will receive some tips on creating a strategy and vision that will both garner buy-in and commitment from the C-Suite and will be welcomed and implemented by the frontline. They'll also learn how to maximize the efficacy of their strategy and positively impact organizational performance by understanding the advancement of human factors.
