The Cranky Middle Manager Show #312 The Future of the MBA Ken Starkey
A Webinar You Should Check Out….
Posted on 29. Oct, 2008 by Wayne in General
If you heard my conversation with Paul Elliot in Episode 149 about improving performance and the way many well meaning people tackle performance problems but don’t do it well, you’ll want to check out a new webinar on November 12th.
Paul’s company, Exemplary Performance, is presenting one of the gurus in the field of Performance Consulting, Dana Gaines Robinson in the first of a series of webinars on Performance Consulting Tips: From Tactical Solutions to Strategic Results. Dana Gaines Robinson and one of my favorite folks, Nancy Q Smith, will take you through an introduction to the topic including:
- The differences between a tactical and strategic approach to your work
- The 5 criteria that determine whether you’re working tactically or strategically-and the answers will surprise you
- The 4 needs in the Needs Hierarchy and why aligning these four needs is critical to delivering strategic results
- A tool to assess how much of your work is strategic, rather than tactical
- 3 techniques you can use to transition your discussions with managers from a tactical to a strategic focus
I’m hosting/producing this event and i’ve seen the content. It’s well worth your time. Plus, if you attend and fill out the post-webcast evaluation you’ll get a free copy of the Robinson’s book, Performance Consulting- Second Edition. Everyone with training or performance improvement responsibilities should read it.
The event is Wednesday, November 12th at 1 PM Eastern Time (US). Click here to Register.
