As technology continues to saturate our world; data collection and analysis is a highly sought after skillset.

“Show me the data,” is almost as popular of a request as “show me the money.” 

In many cases, the two are connected. Solving problems, improving processes, increasing sales and satisfying customers are just a few of the side effects of accurate data collection and analysis; and it’s not just for number crunchers.

Everyone can navigate the data collection and analysis culture with a few simple tips and techniques from this webinar.

Making good decisions and solving problems the first time should not rely on “luck.”  We’ll show you a better way.

Learning objectives include:

• Four essential questions to answer with data
• Apples to apples data collection
• Three basic ways to narrow the focus
• Dos and Do Nots of presenting the findings

Make Personal & Life Changes You Want & Deserve

Whether you’re moving up in your company, making a change from employee to solo entrepreneur or scaling back from a 24/7 job to part-time hours—major life transitions are one of the most challenging things you will ever face.

Transitions, even those you’ve initiated and are excited about, can be stressful and stimulate mixed emotions.

Major transitions are particularly difficult because the key elements that have made up much of your identity can suddenly be wiped away and shake your self-esteem.

In this insightful program, Carole Hyatt (LinkedIn profile) & Linda Singh (LinkedIn profile) will explore common challenges and offer coping skills for women as they move through different stages of their work and personal lives.

And you’ll hear one woman’s powerful story of moving from a lengthy and decorated career in the military to civilian life through a journey of personal growth and resilience.

Learn:

• Examine typical and common sense reasons for making a significant change in your life and work
• Remind you to reflect on previous successful changes you’ve implemented
• Identify ways to anticipate the different phases of the transition curve and how best to work with them
• Review tips and advice for how to embrace transition so that you minimize resistant behaviors that can keep you stuck
• Help you understand that it will take time to rebuild your identity and feel comfortable in your new “skin”
• Offer ways to keep the big picture in sight when there are uncomfortable patches along the way
• Discuss tried and true strategies for feeling as secure as possible during your transition

Join Carole & Linda in this in-depth interview /dialogue and embolden your Leadership skills!

Prosci specializes in change management processes.  With a strong developed expertise in change management processes they produce high quality informative presentations and seminars

Change capable organizations have gone beyond a core group of SME practitioners and extended change management competencies throughout the organization.

Research shows that it takes an activated system that includes senior leaders, people managers, project teams and the front-line employees to successfully navigate an organization through times of change.

In this session, learn why each role is crucial during change and how to develop role-based change competencies within an Enterprise Change Management (ECM) Framework.

PROSCI literally “wrote the books” on Change Management:

Inclusive Diversity

Though frequently used together, the terms diversity and inclusion have different meanings.

You can have a diverse workforce but not necessarily an inclusive one.

Diversity is the mixture of demographics, psychographics, and experiences reflected in the workforce.

By contrast, inclusion is the practice of recognizing and valuing all employee perspectives and contributions, and creating opportunities for all voices to be equally heard and inform organizational processes.

In a culture of inclusive diversity the full potential of all employees is realized.

In our  HCI’s Talent Pulse research, they:

• Examined the antecedents and conditions of inclusive diversity.
• Asked HR practitioners and leaders involved with diversity and inclusion efforts about their current programs
  • to shed more light on what is working and what is not.

In fact, researchers recently found that mandatory diversity training that tries to police thoughts and behaviors does more harm than good.

They often result in backlash and can make an organization less diverse in the long-run.

In HCI’s survey, they asked about the D&I training offered but also explored the outcomes of those engagements to better understand the most effective ways to build inclusive diversity.

In this research webcast they will:

• Report on the prevalence of different types of D&I programs and who is responsible for design and implementation of them.
• Explore the motivations of organizations focused on D&I as a means of compliance versus those organizations that invest in D&I to drive learning and leverage of diverse perspectives.
• Learn the personal characteristics and abilities needed to foster a culture of inclusion.
• Address the most notable challenges facing effective implementation of D&I efforts.
