The ways in which organizations deliver business intelligence and analytics insights are evolving, notably in the rising use of what is called data storytelling.

In this presentation James Laurence Richardson (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Research Director will explore what data storytelling is, how it is evolving and how to best use it to go beyond reporting and dashboarding.

Discussion Topics:

  • What data storytelling is and why it matters

CREATE A TEAM TO WHICH PEOPLE WANT TO BELONG!

Tired of the command and control style of management?

So, stop managing and start coaching! Coaching is the ability to bring out the best in people.

  1. Coaching is the ability to bring out the best in people.
  2. It is the ability to work with a diverse set of team members to help them be creative, empowered and motivated.
  3. Coaching is the art of asking powerful questions and using powerful language so that the person being coached will come up with answers for him or herself.

It is the ability to work with a diverse set of team members to help them be creative, empowered and motivated. Coaching is not “command and control”, it is not acting as the benevolent dictator (haven’t we all worked for someone like that?).

Rather, it is the art of asking powerful questions and using powerful language so that the person being coached will come up with answers for him or herself.

The focus is on helping your team members to be resourceful and accountable while getting the job done. Join us for an engaging and interactive presentation.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Discover the difference between traditional management and coaching
  • Find out how and why coaching works
  • Learn how to develop powerful questions and how to hold people accountable
  • Building rapport, a key to developing strong relationships
  • Tips on how to develop a group into a team

Presenter:  John Kaman PMP (LinkedIn profile), is a management coach, mentor and educator.  John has 22 years of experience in Research and Development Management with both 3M Company and Imation Corp and is currently an Adjunct Professor at the University of Minnesota. He holds a Masters degree in Psychology/Human Development, a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a certificate in Professional Personal Coaching

High Potential Toolkit

Share

Online Webinar  – Recorded May 3, 2017
Activity Type: Education – Online or Digital Media 1 PDU – Free
Provider: Human Capital Institute

Attracting, retaining and developing high potential talent is a challenge facing most organizations today.  Hile Rutledge, MSOD (LinkedIn profile) President & Principal Consultant, OKA, tailors the development approach to the field, the candidate and the organization’s culture.

Hile believes that every serious development effort must focus on and be rooted in greater self-awareness and better self-management.

Some development efforts are conceived or adopted to build a lacking skillset or correct a deficiency; whereas other developmental efforts are designed to augment, accentuate—and even reward—effective performance.

Regardless, Hile believes that everyone has room to grow and improve.

In many cases, companies turn to a talent development assessment and the underlying framework and model to help high potentials take their next steps.

Hile and OKA have many favorites in their “high potential toolkit”, including assessments on Personality Type and Emotional Intelligence, but today Hile would  like to share some favorites to improve decision making, strengthen change leadership and increasing influence.

In this webcast Hile will discuss:

  • Three assessments used to successfully develop High Potential candidates. These include the: Change Style Indicator, Influence Style Indicator, & Decision Style Profile
  • A powerful decision making model that leverages five decision factors and five styles along an inclusion continuum
  • How to get the most from others by flexing within five influencing styles
  • How change preferences impact our ability to lead change
