The Benefits of Attendance
The network perspective greatly enhances the organizational performance
by providing their leaders with a vision of how work is or is not
happening in their strategically important divisions. This approach provides a
powerful means of:
-
Improving performance of key
functions or business units
-
Promoting innovation in new
product development and R&D
-
Developing a more effective and
adaptable work force
-
Assessing effectiveness of
strategic partnerships and alliances
-
Ensuring appropriate integration
of networks underlying core capabilities and processes
-
Improving top leadership team
effectiveness
-
Ensuring integration post-merger,
acquisition, or large-scale change
-
Developing communities of practice
Program Overview
The conference will offer
two tracks covering critical ways that a network perspective can
promote organizational excellence. Topics will include:
-
Strategy and Innovation: Managing
external connectivity (e.g. alliances), designing networks that
deliver specific value propositions, managing connectivity with
customers, supporting a distributed workforce, and driving
innovation and change processes through networks
-
Leadership and Organizational
Development: Human resource practices promoting collaboration,
communities of practice for development and strategy execution,
leadership development, relational views of employee
motivation/engagement, and career development
Each session will open with an expert
describing current practices and future directions in that specific
field. They will then transition to an executive (CIO/CTO/CLO/CKO)
that is currently addressing these issues. The result: a forward
looking and practical view of the critical role networks play in
organizations.
