- How do you deploy strategic objectives, cut process time and complexity by 80%, satisfy the voice of the customer, and engage a diverse workforce so improvement is highly visible? Attend this session and get the answers. Transforming an organization is among the most difficult tasks to pursue. Success is dependent on first changing how we and our colleagues think about a number of closely held assumptions. The new paradigm can’t be feel-good theory. It must concretely link routine work, customer priorities, new performance measures and strategic projects. Speed of execution will be the new normal. Employees view their work as a mission, not a job. Customers tell others of their delight.
