For decades organizations have struggled with creating a culture of sustainable productivity. How do you tie strategy, vision, mission, goals, metrics, and employees all together to create a culture that thrives? Most organizations have put all their eggs in one of these baskets, however, the answer lies in the integration of them all. Our ultimate goal should be to create something sustainable, long after we leave. It has to be woven into the fabric of the organization. It requires a “cultural” transformation. So, let’s talk about the RECIPE for success and how each ingredient integrates with the others to form a well-baked highly productive sustainable organization.
Servant Leadership
The first ingredient is usually assumed and taken for granted but is essential to a healthy organization. I call it “Servant” Leadership. Servant leadership is a leadership philosophy in which the main goal of the leader is to serve. This is different from traditional leadership where the leader's main focus is the thriving of their company or organizations. Organizations that embrace servant leadership operate with the client, customer and employees need in mind. They recognize that serving its “constituents ” develops loyalty and trust that ultimately creates positive vibes and an environment of success.
Vision
Every employee must have a clear understanding of where the organization is headed. Without a Vision, the people perish. Establish a clear, precise vision that is the “north star”. I often ask organizations if your 5-year vision was across the room and you walked into it, what would it look or feel like? Develop a vision without regard to any restraints. What would you like the organization to ultimately look like 5 years from now?
Mission
Most organizations have mission statements. However, they cover a full-page and often most employees do not know what it is. The mission statement is the call to action. It tells the organization what it is committed to doing. For instance, “Using our portfolio of brands to differentiate our content, services, and consumer products, we seek to develop the most creative, innovative and profitable entertainment experiences and related products in the world.” – Walt Disney. The mission statement is the most critical piece of information that each employee should be given. I encourage organizations to put it on the back of their business cards, open each meeting with the mission statement and include it in email signatures.
SWOT Analysis
The one area where many organizations fail is in understanding its Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Organizations need to do an open and honest assessment of what’s working and what needs improvement. Success is when organizations leverage their strengths, address weaknesses, seize the opportunities and mitigate any threats.
Strategic Priorities
Based on the assessment of the results of the organization, the vision, and mission of the organizations, strategic priorities should reflect the top areas that need to be addressed. Usually 5 to 6 strategic priorities that enable the organization to achieve its mission. These priorities provide the marching orders for all departments to collaborate but also serves as a check and balance on where budget and resources should be applied.
Performance Management Scorecards
Measuring success is key! I often tell organizations, if you want to lose weight, you have to be willing to get on a scale. Organizations have to be willingly measuring their performance based on data. Balanced Scorecards of Key Performance Indicators tell you if what you are doing is working. It also highlights areas of concern and allows organizations to quickly take action.
High-Performance Teams
Lastly, the most important component of any organization is its people. Many organizations take for granted the need to engage employees. Statistics show that organizations thrive when employees are engaged. Also, employees who are engaged perform better. So how do we engage employees and get them committed to the vision, mission, and strategic priorities of the organization? I recommend High-Performance Teams. The common definition of a high-performance team is a group of people who share a common vision, goals, metrics and who challenge and hold each other accountable to drive results. They have a clear vision of where they are headed and what they want to accomplish.
I encourage organizations to build teams throughout the organization that works on goals that tie to the strategic priorities. At Palm Beach County we have created “Stat” Cross-Department and Cross-Functional teams that use data to analyze process, review metrics and propose solutions. Teams are using the principles of Lean Six Sigma to reduce waste, make processes lean and to drive a culture of continuous process improvement. Best practices for developing these teams include ensuring cross-discipline representation, using data to define problems and solutions, leaving titles at the door and relentless follow-up and accountability.
So there you have the recipe: Servant Leadership, Vision, Mission, SWOT Analysis, Strategic Priorities, Performance Scorecards, and High-Performance Teams. It is the integration of these ingredients that will drive sustainable and lastly productivity and a culture of continuous process improvement.
3D Thinking™ nurtures the concept of going ‘inside the box’ to tackle your challenges.
3D Thinking™ generates dimensional thinking for product and services development to produce something that has value, did not exist before, or used in a new way.
3D Thinking™ will facilitate a ‘shift’ in how you think, not what you think. The problem is ‘inside the box; not outside of it. Learn new ideas that willhelp create a better value proposition and set a higher price by synthesizing new insights and wisdom.
It will address
What do we know?
What do they need or want?
What will they pay for your solutions?
Your audience isn’t a monolith, so your products, services, and solutions shouldn’t be either. And with product and brand proliferation the consumer is begging for really innovative solutions to their perceived needs and problems. If you aren’t RE-INNOVATING, chances are you’ve dropped into the “price barrel” along with all the other “me too” products and services.
Conversations with plain talk for smart people will be punctuated with licensed movie and television scenes, ‘out of the box’ problems i.e.
What do you, as a college student, when you acquire a box car loaded with Chef Boyardee spaghetti sauce?
How do you put a sign on a building when the city prohibits it?
How do you offer the most requested incentive requested by used car salesmen, a Rolex Submariner, when Toyota doesn’t have the budget to provide them?
These and other real-world case studies will challenge creative problem- solving skills and reveal ‘inside the box’ solutions that become evident when 3D Thinking inspires greater awareness of overlooked connections between actions and consequences.
Key Takeaways:
Attendees will leave with an enhanced skill that will help find effective
solutions to their most complicated business problems.
Attendees will be shown the 3D Thinking techniques to…
Detect new opportunities using existing resources.
Discover your components.
Determine applications to product, process, marketing, and management innovative problem solving.
Develop, test and market.
Distinguish opportunities from distractions.
Deliver more persuasive presentations
We spend so much time trying to solve problems in our business. Why is it that after investing countless hours, effort, energy, and resources, the problems we think we have solved come back again and again? Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to keep problems from resurfacing?
The Wheel of Sustainability will help you ensure your solutions live on. In this workshop, you will learn how to engage and empower your teams to utilize all components of the Wheel and sustain their solutions. With case studies and exercises, you will have the opportunity to utilize the Wheel and help your organization win.
What attendees can expect from the session:
Globalization, fast-moving markets, disruption, the unprecedented pace of technological innovation. Organizations know that they need to transform—now—to survive. But their existing business models, organizational hierarchy, and technology the infrastructure simply can’t keep up with how quickly the company needs to adapt.
SAFe 5.0 features seven core competencies, which represent the stepping stones to business agility. This workshop provides an in-depth overview of the competencies and how organizations can respond to market changes and emerging opportunities with innovative business solutions.
Lee Cockerell, former Executive Vice President Operations, Walt Disney World® Resort, is well known as Disney's top trainer at the world-renowned Disney Institute.
Lee developed the 12 Great Leader Strategies while at Walt Disney World® that transformed Disney’s leadership strategy and ensured that the 7000 leaders at Disney knew how to deliver employee excellence, which in turn delivered service excellence, exceptional customer loyalty, and strong business results.
Lee will be sharing the Great Leader Strategies and what is unique is this course is not taught by a facilitator, everyone one will be taught by Lee himself.
“In Creating Magic, Lee Cockerell delivers his ideas about leadership in a common sense way that can really reach people and help them improve their effectiveness at work, at home and in their communities. His valuable leadership strategies and remarkable Disney stories will ring true for everyone who reads his book.”
Ken Blanchard, Co-author of The One Minute Manager® and Leading at a Higher Level
Elegant in its simplicity and practicality, Lee has distilled many powerful leadership strategies into the lessons many of us learned as children. They are no less relevant to our working lives. At its core, Creating Magic is a collection of stories that reminds us to demonstrate care and respect for every member of the team and to focus our efforts not on ourselves but on the people we lead.
George Bodenheimer, President, ESPN, Inc and ABC Sports
Lee is an exceptional leader, who is incredibly practical, and sticks to the how to, and what to. If you want to engage Lee directly in your organization, below are Lee's contact details.
We have more women in the workforce today than ever. There is no lack of qualified women to fill the leadership roles. Why then do we see gender inequality in leadership layers?
Institutional mindsets and structural barriers are often the impediments for growth of women in leadership. There is an immediate need to explore the inherent systemic issue that is working against the much desired presence of women in leadership.
Mergers and acquisitions occur for any number of reasons. From the process, there is a value that is expected to be realized. The goal is to get there sooner rather than later. Often competing visions, values, emotions, etc. (a.k.a. fundamental conflicts) set the journey on a course of its own versus the course that captures the intended value and synergies in the timeline desired.
In this workshop, we will review the key elements that should be in the post-M&A alignment roadmap, and then we will quickly get into covering methods to bring fundamental conflicts to the surface and address them in productive ways. Participants will have active roles in exercising these methods as members of the acquiring company, the acquired company, and another surprise entity that helps make things just a little more challenging.
KEY EXPECTED TAKEAWAYS:
Creating a post-M&A alignment roadmap, what you need to have
Three exercises that will uncover fundamental conflicts so that they can be addressed
Ways to address the fundamental conflicts encountered
Lessons learned when using a roadmap to guide the journey
How to know you are in a good place relative to aligning the organizations during the M&A process

Organize and upskill the team
Establish your intake / assessment process
Lessons Learned / Keys to Success
If we were to sit and talk about your biggest challenges, I would expect to hear that the demands on your time are at an all-time high. From back-to-back meetings to pressing deadlines, you are being stretched in a million directions. It’s clear that most organizations expect leaders, and their teams, to respond quickly to changes in a volatile competitive environment and to be “always on,” agile, and collaborative. Add to the fact, your teams yearn for professional development and growth.
In this day in age, how do leaders wear all these “hats” at the same time? What type of development do employees really want? According to Gallup’s research, it’s clear that employees want coaching and on-going development from their leader. In this workshop, we will explore the paradigm that a leader’s primary goal is to develop their people. And by applying coaching as a leadership style, you can create the right environment for your team to develop professionally and deliver sustainable results.
What attendees can expect from the session:
Understand what elements are required to create a coaching culture
Recognize that engaging employees is critical in developing sustainable results
Develop an approach to apply coaching as a leadership style
Learn how to facilitate a brief coaching conversation
Overview and evolution of Intelligent Automation Capabilities (AI, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, OCR, RPA)
Discussion about emerging mainstream use cases and areas of early adoption
Pivot discussion towards real-world challenges
Fact vs. Fiction limitations of AI today
Culture and Change Management
Concept of defensibility/interpretation of model to be expanded upon- “can’t blindly trust the black box”
Update on regulatory concerns
Models for success:
Build vs. Buy
How to measure project outcomes
Information on standards and best practice
This workshop will walk participants through a structured approach for identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating “points of failure” in business processes. Participants will learn how to identify “weak spots” in business processes that are causing actual process failures, or that may cause a process failure in the future. Workshop will cover techniques to identify and eliminate the root causes of such failures with permanent corrective and preventative actions. Finally, the workshop will describe multiple approaches to prioritize solutions that maximize business impact while weighing cost of solutions.
Whether you are looking at a full-scale transformation, applying operational excellence or just executing smaller projects, we know that your ability to communicate, motivate and inspire the people affected will significantly impact your likely success. In a world that is focused on technology and hard ROI calculations, the fact is that soft skills are still the biggest differentiator and yet remain the biggest challenge.
In this workshop you will explore and learn techniques that are likely to not only change your business results but may also change your life!
Five techniques you will learn about
We can’t promise that you will become an expert, or indeed master the skills in just 90 minutes. But we guarantee that you can have fun practicing on your fellow and attendees as you start to realise just how powerful these simple techniques you learn are.
Whether you then use them to overcome old obstacles at work, or as fun warm up exercises in your own workshops you will definitely be able to help people think differently.
As most mature continuous improvement programs will attest, deploying manual process mapping methodologies can be time-consuming activities that are prone to gross inaccuracies due to stakeholders’ and subject matter experts’ subjectivity, partiality, limited scope, or poor visibility within a given process.
Process mining is an emerging technology and discipline that seeks to correct these critical flaws in traditional process mapping by using computational algorithms that can quickly and objectively reengineer process models solely from event logs without using any other a priori information.
These process models can be further enriched with attribute data to enable advanced data exploratory and mapped to your overall process landscape. Furthermore, process mapping creates the foundation to build an end-to-end automation strategy for cross-application, human-centric workflows with a low-code approach. Combining Process Mining and Workflow Automation results in high user adoption and quick, consistent ROI delivery.
Key Takeaways:
● Understand the core concepts of process mining: discovery, conformance, and enhancement
● Map and publish processes throughout your organization
● Automate human-centric workflows with a low-code approach.
● How to leverage process mining and workflow automation in an integrated approach

Description of Session
Companies today face the challenge of engaging their employees in meaningful dialogue around change, workplace dynamics and innovation. Whether it be due to geography, flex work or simply that many people feel that speaking up has a cost associated with it - organizations are missing hearing from key players associated with successful change management
In this talk we will examine:
Bringing intelligent automation (IA) and change management together to drive customer experience
Identifying processes to digitise where IA can have the greatest impact on creating customer value
Becoming an operating model consultant to drive OCM
Creating vision before optimization
How to break inertia by changing existing rooted perceptions?
What is the best process to achieve on-going continues improvements?
How to harness the right KPIs to facilitate buy-in of people on all levels of the company?
The importance of focusing on tangible, visible results
Creating a complete turnaround: from worst in class to BEST IN CLASS within few years.
This session will introduce you to how to bring a critical eye to your initiatives around process improvement and intelligent automation of both front and back office processes. Many process improvement projects fail because the market has you believe that deploying IA tools and technologies will solve all of your problems. But, since they are only part of the equation, having the right plan of attack and vision are necessary to achieve the strongest business outcomes.
· Knowing what you don't know (key assumptions, risks, current and future state, etc.)
· Surface area - how to understand the complex relationships and interactions between people, process, and content
· Having an IA roadmap and why it matters
· How to get the right stakeholders involved AND keep them engaged!
What does it take to work with leaders who are at the helm of transformation to help them adopt a mindset that allows them to make purposeful decisions to drive forward in a world of rapid and constant technological change.
This session will look at inflection points where leaders have decisions to make that will have long-term impacts, and ask… What could have happened?

To remain competitive in the current business climate and ever-evolving stream of customer needs, we are being asked to do more and change faster than ever before.
Traditionally, business optimization and transformation are initiated from a business-first mindset, with senior leadership defining desired business outcomes and timelines. But, people are the ones who need to make the changes. And people have a change saturation limit. If that limit isn’t recognized or dealt with properly, it can be crippling for the program – and for the people impacted.
Too often, change management is not even considered until business implementations show signs of serious failure. Business transformations rarely achieve their full benefit. This is often a result of the role leaders play in the change, plus the cultural hurdles that are only considered once projects are underway.
During this session, we’ll look at:
Introduction:
According to a study of a leading industry organization only 1% of organizations have their processes sufficiently under control to realize the full potential of digital solutions. Establishing and applying the appropriate process management discipline has become a crucial topic which has to be address fast and at minimal risk to make digital transformations successful.
The presentation discusses key accelerators to achieve the targeted performance through in the appropriate time by using selected accelerators to transform business processes and create the required process discipline, leveraging digital tools as required. This is illustrated through example from insurance, health and high tech companies.
Key topics addressed:
Identifying risk extremely early in the project business processes was the key target to develop the intelligent tender document screening approach.
Currently the systematics are used in a broader and more holistic way to enhance proposal processes and get much more speed while reducing reading time of large or many documents
Abstract:
All of your processes play a significant role in the success of your company and your customers. Processes drive engagement between you and your customers externally, and content feeds your internal processes with the necessary insight and context to makedecisions.
However, capturing, managing, analyzing, understanding and monitoring the digitalenterprise is no easy task. With the proliferation of new technologies, compliance mandates,data integrity concerns, and the need to do more with less, how is the enterprise prepared toface their digital problems?
Without the right strategy, capabilities, and skills, organizations will be left out to dry. In order to raise your Digital IQ, you must fully understand every system, integration point, business process, and all of the related data. Empowered with this data, you can make decisions with tremendous impact on profitability, risk, and even people’s lives. In this session,we will discuss the skills and technologies necessary for the success of the modern digital enterprise.
The increasing complexity of the external environment drove the need for digital capabilities at Duke Energy. We focused on fundamentally transforming the way we do business and serve our customers. By using continuous innovation, we are positioned to be competitive within the industry for the future while improving customer experience and enhancing field operations service standards. We soon realized that no transformation can succeed without a culture shift that serves as a catalyst for enterprise-wide business transformation.
We will focus on discussing how delivering digital products and desired outcome for our employees and customers could only be achieved through a dedicated effort and a new mindset.
How to challenge a hierarchical management culture and empower employees and teams
How to take diplomacy, spin, controlled power and layers of approval into a space that operates with transparency, honesty and trust
How to change project funding and iterate on value with timely deliverable
How to take the illusion of perfect plans, failure avoidance and turn it to willingness to experiment, rapid improvement and learning
How to shift focus from traditional waterfalls milestones to fast delivery of minimal viable products
How to get the - Right product for the right users, increase engagement, readiness, and adoption
How to convert change fatigue into inspiration and excitement
In a world of chatbots, RPA and IoT, it can be easy to lose focus on the human to human customer connection. Businesses need to ensure they are re-engineered to provide the most delightful, high touch business experience for their customers in this modern, mobile era.
The proliferation of the mobile phone has had a significant impact on how, where and when we connect. While there is an app for everything, how do you keep your clients connected and using your app to deliver next-level customer care and service excellence?
Are you prepared to:
This session will demonstrate the critical link between culture and results, and share how to impact your culture, through proven methods, and my personal journey!
Learn about:
Applying the fundamentals and using a systematic approach to your improvement is critical now more than ever. Not only does our technology rapidly change, but so does the people using it. The fundamentals to the methods and tools have been modified, skipped, and/or politicized over the past decade leading to a deep approach rather than taking the first step of understanding how the enterprise operates. The structure and process must be in place for Strategic Planning, Policy Deployment, Annual Operations Execution, and Operational Excellence in order to keep your improvements sustainable. The approach must be packaged so that all people can be part of and accept the change. Key elements from this talk will be:
Focusing the business process transformation group with a customer value approach
Identifying process improvement and automation opportunities and how to apply to the right process
Working with continuous improvement and RPA to join up processes
How to make process transformation more streamlined and structured
One of the US’s largest energy companies shares what drove them to pursue Operational Excellence, and how they’re using assessment to accelerate their journey.

Explore the decision-making process and particularly the criteria used by executive decision-makers for identifying and selecting organizational competencies when engaging in ITO for cloud-based services.
Executive decision-makers are not always able to anticipate and fully understand the implications of their ITO decisions for the long-term processes, capabilities, and performance of the organization.
Executive decision-makers face difficulties distinguishing between organizational core and noncore activities and competencies, and find it problematic to identify an outsourcing provider (vendor) with suitable resources, competencies, and capabilities as well as to establish an effective outsourcing agreement or relationship.
Although extensive research exists on ITO decision-making, there is limited research specific to ITO decisions for cloud-based services and implications for the long-term processes, capabilities, and performance of organizations.

In today’s workplace, oftentimes the only constant is change. How successfully agencies embrace and drive change has a direct correlation to leadership. Similarly, in the aftermath of the final space shuttle flight in July 2011, NASA Kennedy Space Center experienced tremendous change. Contrary to some speculation, the Center did not close but instead driven by visionary leadership, transformed into a multiuser spaceport. As a result, the Kennedy Space Center is well postured, as NASA is once again called to land American astronauts, including the first woman and the next man on the moon by 2024 followed by an eventual human journey to Mars in the not so distant future. Mr. Manning's presentation will highlight how this came to be. He will share his personal insight on the criticality of leadership in fostering an environment that promotes innovation and engagement to solve complex problems to allow the Agency to accomplish its mission. In addition, he will discuss how leadership, employee engagement, and empowerment defines the Agency’s core values to drive the culture, making NASA the best place to work in the federal government among large agencies for seven years in a row. Fittingly, he will also address the importance of effective leadership in addressing change, aligning the workforce to the mission, growing employees through leadership development, succession planning, promoting diversity, inclusion, and learning how to fail; all critical factors in the pursuit of excellence.
Key Takeaways:
Criticality of leadership in fostering an environment that promotes innovation and engagement to solve complex problems.
How leadership defines the Agency’s core values to drive the culture.
The importance of effective leadership in the pursuit of excellence.

The CEO posted the target of 60% digital sales until 2022. Starting with zero we have now reached 30% digital sales and transformed major parts of our value chain into digital and more efficient processes. Major points and take always:
Topic Intro:
The last decade saw data become an indispensable asset to leading firms across industries. But, despite trends in increasing data investments over the last few years, firms aren’t reaping these benefits–a mere 29 percent report that data yielded valuable, actionable insights, according to a survey by Forrester. The value of Artificial Intelligence (AI) investments hinges on the way firms analyze, understand, and implement insights generated from data and AI.
Why is it so hard for firms to connect data to action? An incomplete picture. Humans, machines, data and AI must all be connected. Implementing a network of machine-generated data from a company’s major assets combined with a system of people-based feedback is vital. Not only should both executives and workers be tuned into all the hardware of their enterprise, but insights generated from data and AI must be clearly communicated to workers on every level. Data and AI will not improve a company on its own. Human judgment, understanding, and intervention are critical to driving the strategic change made apparent by data and AI investments. Through the power of digital and human connectivity, organizations get the luxury of preparation--not the chaos of surprise.

Culture is the character and personality of your organization. It's what makes your business unique and is the sum of its values, traditions, beliefs, and behaviors. You do not build positive workplace culture by providing free snacks to your employees, or by having gym facilities in your workplace!

This can be a significant challenge, but with the correct approach, you can achieve world-class results.
