Program Details:

The meeting will be an interactive session focused on improving organizational performance. The morning workshop will begin with a panel of GMASHRM/ASTD SCWC members sharing their stories. We will then break into small groups to react to the panel, raise questions and share insights and strategies.

Our luncheon keynote speaker is Wayne Reschke, a well-known Madison consultant with over 26 years of experience in human resources and performance management. In his keynote, “Look Before Crossing: The Intersection of Personal and Organizational Change,” he will comment on the morning’s outcomes and talk about what we can learn from the parallels in organizational and personal change. We will address questions such as:

• How do we define the desired organizational performance and how do we know when it’s needed?

• What behavioral, operational, and financial measures can be used to chart successful performance improvement?

• How do we make the changes happen that are needed to achieve real gains in organizational performance?

Along the way, we’ll touch on strategies that have worked and those that have not. We’ll identify barriers to change, and how some of the language of change management might even be counter-productive. This will be an engaging, interactive session with plenty of opportunities to network and learn about peer organizations. Our organizations want better performance. Come and learn how to make it happen! Outcomes

• Networking and information on performance improvement efforts at peer organizations

• Summary of proceedings

• Insights on how to effect personal and organizational change
