Learn the latest time management methods by looking back at a quick history of time management in three phases:
As we focus on three-dimensional time management methods learn practical ways to answer the fundamental question – what can I do today that will give me more time tomorrow? Leave with practical actions and steps you can take that will in fact let you create more time for yourself so you can genuinely focus on what matters most.
Many senior leaders have great ideas for where they would like to lead the organization forward. However, having a clearly articulated vision and a comprehensive plan to execute these ideas is equally important. The Strategic Planning Masterclass is designed to help leaders become visionary storytellers and skillful executors. The session will provide a hands-on learning environment with proven tools and methodologies to help visualize the "big picture" and articulate the vision effectively. Additionally, participants will learn how to create the operational framework required to ensure effective execution to help bring those ideas to life.
Key Takeaways:
Decades of research show when employees experience their work as meaningful, they are more productive, creative, and loyal. But what can leaders do to create the conditions for employees to do their best work and build an agile operating model?
The Operating Model Masterclass is designed to equip leaders with proven frameworks, tools, and strategies for designing work to deliver a triple win: improved productivity, increased engagement, and satisfied customers.
Participants will learn how to create good, intrinsically motivating jobs and make operating model design decisions that maximize human potential. Additionally, they will learn how to identify opportunities and readiness for improving work design.
Key Takeaways:
Many companies only focus on their internal processes, hoping that these improvements will meet client expectations and even delight them. Often companies don't even engage in process work until there is a major mistake, an audit finding or a client has complained. However, if we set up processes correctly up front and bring clients on the operational excellence journey when they are first onboarded into the company, it sets the stage for both a powerful and loyal client relationship. It also prevents the cost of having to throw a lot of resources at a process issue reactively and the risk of potentially losing the client in a "too little too late" situation. In our current economic climate companies are looking to cut costs where they can. The ability to demonstrate to clients that we are bringing the most cost efficient and effective processes and utilization of resources to the table can become a huge differentiator in any industry. Today i am going to talk about the lessons learned from waiting until clients threaten to leave the company to engage them in an operational excellence journey and the value that can be gained from kick starting the client relationship with an operational excellence lens.
Key Takeways
Key takeaways:
Implementing Lean and Continuous Improvement is often an internally-focused initiative in an organization. Common goals are productivity, cost reduction and automation. However, there is much more runway when an OpEx program is closely tied to the Customer Experience. A company culture aligned around delivering an exceptional customer experience is the linchpin to Transformation efforts.
Key Takeaways:
Employee engagement and retention strategies are essential for organizations to attract and retain top talent, foster a positive work environment, and drive employee satisfaction and productivity.
Key Takeaways:
To promote change and accelerate innovation, we must empower our teams to envision, create, and deliver products and services that distinguish our organizations. In the face of rapid changes to both the workforce and the workplace, where stagnancy is not an option, leaders must be open to adjusting their vision and approach.
How to cut through the noise of the corporate environment or personal life and develop a process improvement mentality to solve complex problems.
Key Takeaways
The success of any large initiative is entirely dependent on adoption. Will my employees, my executives, my stakeholders… embrace the change? Or will they fight the change? There is a direct relationship between change management effort and intuitive design. The more time invested in design, the less effort will be required in change management. This session will cover principles of Change Management Design that will help drive success in any large initiative.
Key Takeaways
Most of the traditional enterprises were born in the pre-cloud era, with desktop-centric experience, linear processes, and an enterprise ecosystem that is not fully connected, digitized, and networked. They have started their digital transformation journey now to leapfrog the cloud and apps era. For them to compete with the digital native companies, a different mindset and approach is required. They need to show agility like a startup, increase the velocity of ideas and innovations, be responsive to customer needs, be networked, and develop a significant competitive advantage through platform-based thinking.
The required business agility and performance amplification can be achieved by a potent combination of
(a) new ways of working – collaboration, self-organizing, empowered teams
(b) new design considerations – sentient processes and systems
(c) Connected and networked processes cutting across functional boundaries and
(d) Data, insights, and predictive analytics
Key takeaways:
Key lessons in building a team that lifts the business
Building a solid technology foundation that drives business strategy smarter, faster to outpace external competition is the driving force to create digital experiences that delight customers in every business and industry. Enterprise Architecture as a practice helps define a clear view of both the business and technology landscape empowering organizations to make smarter decisions around strategic initiatives that deliver powerful business outcomes.
Whether organizations assess existing and new technologies to keep up with customer expectations or looking for entrepreneurial or innovative opportunities to build a future forward digital strategy, Enterprise Architecture helps execute those strategies to transform businesses.
Enterprise Architecture defines the structure and behavior of organizational units within a business and encompasses design, analytics, planning and implementation. Using its principles and practices , it can be used to improve business and operational models across industries and guide them through effective changes.
Key takeaways:
Key Takeaways:
I will briefly walk through some of the work we have done, to build competencies in Criticality assessments and Service Objectives so our Architecture can be more effective, and Architecture can contribute to assessing current and deployed services for “Fit for Performance”.

Key Takeaways:
Mike Vierow, GM Transformation (Virgin Australia, ex-McKinsey) and Isabella Manning (Head of Virgin Australia's Organisational Change) co-present the Transformation Story of Virgin Australia Airline.
After going into administration following the devastation caused by COVID, we share how we reshaped the transformation agenda to drive sustainable business recovery and growth – against the odds. We will cover what worked, what didn’t - the pitfalls to avoid, and insights on the recipe, using concrete examples, that emerged about how to reinvent the business and sustain hard won results.
The story will touch on how we managed complex, adaptive organisational challenges in parallel with immediate, tactical and operational change priorities – all in the context of an extremely disengaged frontline workforce, lagging productivity, fierce competition, an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and the looming reality of changing market conditions and rising headwinds.
Innovative ideas of creating value for the customer are driving disruption across industries. Business Transformation is to completely redefine how we solve the problem. To compete is to constantly transform and evolve from “Where we are” to ‘Where we want to be”. Transforming from traditional product focused businesses to creating ecosystems for business growth is the challenge.
When an organization masters the art of operational excellence in delivering its core values, how do we leverage it to our advantage, reflect, recognize, and spread the good? Achieving organizational vision is possible by strategically setting direction of scaling excellence and relentless passionate execution. It involves invoking emotion across the organization as an inclusive journey for growth, using technology as an enabler, and bringing structure and processes for excellence at scale. Cascading excellence and empowering change leaders to continuously improve processes, while integrating to the organizational culture will be effective in driving business growth.
Key Takeaways/ Learnings:
Customers today are living an increasingly digital lifestyle, and in order to resonate with them, brands must deliver increasingly sophisticated digital experiences.
In this talk, Wall Street Journal bestselling author Howard Tiersky will describe the key CX and strategy practices revealed in his book Winning Digital Customers: The Antidote to Irrelevance that are helping major brands, including Financial Services brands, succeed with today's digital customers.
Tiersky has helped lead digital transformation efforts at major FS brands including JPMC, Morgan Stanley, Allstate, Transamerica, Moodys, Merrill Lynch and ADP, and his book was recently named by Forbes as “One of the 10 most important business books of 2021.”
In this talk, he will use examples from his decades of experience to provide takeaways CX and digital professionals can use to increase their success.
Key Takeaways:
Digital transformation is fundamentally altering the way all industries do business. From healthcare to manufacturing to software and retail, customer expectations are changing, and business models are being upended, and the pace at which technology advances demands unprecedented agility from management teams. Formulating a thoughtful digital strategy and roadmap allows for new ways to reach and serve customers and drive greater operational efficiency, leading to the North Star of delightful customer experiences and maximized asset utilization.
Putting such strategies into effect can be particularly challenging. Numerous hurdles to success must be overcome. I will dive into the key characteristics of digital maturity that correlate most to financial performance.
The most prosperous businesses seek both revenue and margin growth. For functional teams there’s no longer a correlation between expanding products or customers and increasing budget for operational expense. To be successful, operational teams must continuously use technology, agile methodologies, and lean process efficiencies to increase output while maintaining quality, timeliness, mitigating risk and controlling their cost. Effective managers can help their teams embrace perpetual change with a healthy growth mindset – engender in their teams a healthy fear of missing out (FOMO) on the future – and convert intransigent staff from a debilitating fear of being obsolete (FOBO).
Key Takeaways:
In today's ever-evolving business landscape, successful adaptation hinges on the alignment of strategic transformation, operational excellence, and a transformative company culture. This presentation delves into the intricate relationship between a robust business transformation strategy and the creation of an environment of operational excellence, while shedding light on the risks associated with a lack of supported cultural transformation.
Key Takeaways:
Change management is often confused with powerpoint engagement communications but there is a science and approach to the discipline of change management; and when used to drive clarity of intent, align stakeholders and the organization it is a powerful enabler of driving our operational transformation programs and projects. Over the last 10+ years I have deployed change management and operational excellence as an integrated approach to achieve best in class results in productivity, throughput, compliance, leadership and cultural change across top several of the pharmaceutical companies in the world.
Key takeaways:
Why so many operational excellence transformations fail
Change starts with understanding Intent
The difference between Installation and Realization
How to use Change Management in your PDCA cycle
In modern business transformation, the need for quick and impactful results demands an intricate balance of process excellence and automation. A framework built on lean processes helps to empower and potentialize the benefits of technological integrations. Success today is no longer solely about adopting cutting-edge technologies; it hinges on the careful orchestration of all the parts involved. Process improvement expert Brent Roberts will explore the critical role of bridging the gap between process excellence and automation and show how synergy between the two has the power to drive transformative outcomes. Key takeaways:
Key Takeaways:
Thriving organizations are adept at change - yet many have little to no budget and/or headcount to invest in a formal change capability. Is there a viable alternative? We will explore how people at Lilly used a grassroots approach to cultivate an endemic change capability that is enabling important changes all over the organization.
Process-led Digital Transformation: Mastering the Journey towards the Composable Enterprise

Now more than ever, the workforce is in the driver’s seat, especially in healthcare. We, as employers need to create a desirable environment where staff feel valued, and supported, and want to come in each day knowing they have the time and resources to do the work they love and less of the stuff they don’t
When it comes to strategic execution or transformation work, traditional project management won’t get us there; we need to engage the doers in problem-solving and help them embrace the changes and reasons why.

Research shows it takes seven years to shift a company’s culture. Also, research continues to show, for 15+ years in a row, that 70% of enterprise-wide initiatives fail to achieve their intent. Definitely something is not working well!. The question then is not what to do. It is what to do different, and what not to do.
Should we change the way change management is managing changes?
This interactive presentation provides the Key Success Factor for Sustained Behavioral Shift including pragmatic examples for the audience to take away and operationalize within their businesses.
