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.

Organisational culture is consistently cited as the biggest challenge faced by Operational Excellence and Transformation Leaders. In a dynamic, constantly changing environment where new technology and concepts enter the picture at an ever-increasing rate, it is possible for people to feel left behind. The trusted processes and sense of purpose they have had for their working lives can seem to have become redundant in the blink of an eye. Culture is a slippery concept that grows and changes constantly within an ecosystem - It is often hard to separate cause and effect. The only solution is to make every person an agent of change and give them transparency of purpose and ownership of the process. But, how?
We are emotional beings - Responses to change won't automatically update like software patches
Change must be continuous and not incremental - How can you give people cultural KPIs that resonate?
Do leaders have sensible communication KPIs and are you well enough equipped as a communicator?
"What does a good culture look like?" or is the question "what does good look like for your culture?"
Becoming comfortable with a constant state of flux... Is that the secret to happiness?
The fundamental importance of celebrating diversity
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
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

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

Summary:
This presentation will focus on the results of CMMI V2.0 adoption in over 104 countries across the globe and how V2.0 is changing the face of performance improvement.
CMMI adoption has spread far beyond the confines of the defense industry to a wide range of commercial, non-profit and government organizations around the world in a variety of industries. Today’s CMMI Model maps best practices not only in product development and engineering, but also for service delivery and management and supply chain risk management to ensure delivery of robust products and services – and development is underway to extend the model to include new security and safety content. Improving and benchmarking business capability performance has helped CMMI to develop expertise to enable organizations to achieve tangible performance results that bring to life the innovation journey for organizations seeking to create a culture of performance and quality.
Currently, more than 60 V2.0 appraisals have been completed and are publicly available to review and examine to help other organizations accelerate their improvement and innovation.

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.

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:
Determining your Optimum Speed & Predictability through the fundamentals of analyzing current performance, capability, and entitlement.

What can go wrong; and how to fix it
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:
What it looks like when people are considered from the formative stages of transformation strategy.
What active and visible sponsorship of change really means for organizational leaders – making them effective agents of change.
How to effectively support your teams as a change manager.

Innovation can be viewed as moving on two tracks. Firstly the longer term cycles that are still fundamental to proactively creating value to your customer and industry ecosystem, and then shorter term projects to respond to the ever-changing landscape of industry 4.0, its technology, disruptions and behaviours. It is essential that short term innovation feeds longer term projects and that they are adaptable to its findings; it is also essential that short term projects are in line with strategic goals and work beyond simply plugging holes and putting out fires.
This session will focus on best practice for delivering a holistic innovation roadmap based on agile methodology, giving you actionable takeaways at key points of the process.

The introduction of Digital Age innovations combined with IoT, Cloud, Advanced Analytics, Blockchain and Machine Learning changed the industrial and service landscape. The convergence of innovative technologies helped organizations pivot from reactive to predictive and beyond. Stanley Black & Decker is an innovative manufacturing and service company that continues to be at the cutting edge of innovation and technology.
In April 2019, Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) announced the opening of a 23,000-square-foot Advanced Manufacturing Center of Excellence, called “Manufactory 4.0,” in downtown Hartford at One Constitution Plaza.
The center serves as an innovation hub for the local region, helping Hartford continue its evolution as a leading market for advanced manufacturing in the United States. The Manufactory 4.0 is the home of the company’s STANLEY+Techstars additive manufacturing accelerator program, which is bringing some of the world’s most exciting advanced manufacturing startups to the city of Hartford.
Stanley Black & Decker build this facility in Connecticut, where their founder Frederick Stanley opened his first Bolt Manufactory more than 175 years ago and through collaboration with local partners, the Manufactory 4.0 center can help build on the state’s manufacturing legacy and establish it as a leading hub for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

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.
Takeaways:
• The selection of organizational competencies to target for ITO for cloud-based services is based on the need to fulfill application, security, regulatory, or compliance requirements; to fill a gap; and/or to increase capabilities not found within the organization.
• Organizational competencies selected to outsource to the cloud are not core to the business, and are identified through a process of either intuitively understanding the gap or using the expertise of an external vendor.
• Decision models used for selecting organizational competencies for ITO for cloud-based services include a combination of formal decision models and common sense or intuition.
• Redeploying internal resources to develop new products and services and to increase speed to market is a key outcome anticipated from ITO for cloud-based services.
• There is a need to create contingencies for cloud-based outsourcing solutions, though those contingency plans vary based on the ITO strategy.
• Security and risk management oversight to protect sensitive data and to ensure data privacy and security when engaging in ITO using cloud-based services is important.
• There is a need for effective communication with the outsourcing provider in order to achieve a successful outsourcing engagement.
• Those with previous experience implementing ITO for cloud-based services are more likely to experience a successful cloud-based outsourcing engagement.
• The amount of vendor management required for ITO for cloud-based services is commonly underestimated.
• Knowledge transfer to the outsourcing provider took longer than expected, which was not considered in the decision-making process.
• The expected outcome was a reduction in total costs, including a reduction in capital expenditures, as well as salaries, benefits, and SLA management, but there were unexpected cost increases in other areas.
• Outsourcing using cloud-based services is a means for increasing speed to market, including providing additional core competencies to the organization, leading to increased capacity, elevating the skills of retained employees, and increasing employee morale.
• Lack of quality resources provided by the outsourcing provider resulted in a negative impact on the ability to move day-to-day operational tasks to the outsourcing provider, reducing the ability of employees to focus on strategic value-added activities.
• Organizational processes that worked prior to outsourcing to the cloud were not adequate after moving to the cloud.
• Gender-based differences in the perception of outcomes of their ITO engagements, and the need for an updated financial model for ITO for cloud-based services.
The General Data Protection Regulation is the most far-reaching data compliance regime to date, with extraterritorial reach, significant fines for failure to comply and significant restrictions on personal data use. How can you integrate compliance while minimizing restrictions on deriving value from customer data and eliminating risk?

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! You begin building that positive workplace environment through relentless communication with employees, a winning organizational structure, clear, measureable and attainable goals, and employee engagement. This can be a significant challenge, but with the correct approach, you can achieve world-class results. As a leader in your organization, you must understand the critical link between employee behavior, environment and the resulting workplace culture, ultimately impacting your business results!
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:
Workplace Environment – working conditions and how they have a direct impact on workplace culture.
Organizational Goals– Do employees know and understand what the goals of the organization are, and how to achieve them.
Organizational Structure – Inch wide and a mile deep focused.
Employee Engagement – Critical to drive a high performing culture.
Surveys – Listening and acting upon feedback from employees and The ‘Culture Plan’.
Performance Management – Regular, tangible feedback, 360 degrees.
Relentless Communication – Multiple tiers, both ways.
Leadership Approach – Hands-on, collaborative and accountable.
Are you able to bring to mind a business sector that hasn’t been fundamentally changed as a result of the fourth industrial revolution? For some, wholesale disruption to business models has already forced an end-to-end transformation of technology, processes and skill demands, and for others that transformation is in full swing or becoming an ever more pressing need.
As industry giants manage to find their balance after the slingshot blow to the head delivered by their more agile, lean, tech-savvy challengers, they are able to realign their focus towards the future, and ensure their place at the heart of formulating the shape of it. What are the key factors to consider in aiming to hit the next transformative innovations that will reinvent the way things are done in your world?

Inefficient processes cause delays, inaccuracy and low quality outcomes and are not always easy to identify, let alone improve. With different business units and teams looking from different perspectives, each can have only partial or distorted views of processes. Add each individual’s subjective view of a process and you are unlikely to find a scientific analysis of its efficacy. In an age of constant high-speed change, processes are also often in a state of flux adding another layer of complexity. How can you get a totally transparent view of the end-to-end process to visualize in real time what is happening? Seeing where there are solvable problems in processes with process mining technology Getting a unified view of disparate data sets across your SSO and visualising data flows interdepartmentally Determining causes of deviations and determine solutions for fixing the process and conducting in-depth root cause analysis How can data mining provide a platform to build a process digital twin to test and verify scenarios?
