This is a combination in person (Calgary) and online (GoToWebinar) event.
Building Teams That Win In Any Economy
As a business owner or entrepreneur, you have to deal with a lot of concurrent challenges. When you have a solid team working with you, it alleviates a lot of the pressure on you.
To keep a team at a high level of performance, you must start with a commitment to excellence throughout the organization.
Once you are clear on what the mission, vision, and goals are at any point in time, you can define the organizational impact areas. Impact areas are the parts or functions of the business that are critical to success.
People are the threads that run through every impact area. The cumulative beliefs and values of the people make up the culture of the organization.
In this Speaker Series Event, you will learn some strategies and approaches to create cohesive teams and a competent organization. The speakers will share with you their accumulated knowledge and experience, gained over many years of working in industry, consulting and training others. You could transform your business by implementing a single idea.
When you achieve a culture of excellence, you can win with less pain in both up and down economies.
Speakers
Vince Aliberti and Al Dhalla will be your hosts for the evening.
Creating A Culture Of Excellence & Building a Solid Core – Doug Wagner
Part 1 – Creating a Culture of Excellence: Clients expect excellence and consistency in the delivery of products and services. Your people are your competitive advantage in achieving this, but only if you can create a culture that supports what matters most.
Part 2 – Building a Solid Core: Most businesses deal with issues as they come up and rely on a few key executives to get them through challenges. When you create a solid core for your business, you can more readily and quickly adapt to the challenges you face as a business. Identify the core elements of your business and learn to get them tuned.
