The start of a new year inspires many of us to create resolutions, or new approaches we will adopt in our actions or thinking. Instead of resolving to losing 20 pounds, what if we resolved to think differently about what is most important when it comes to our employees?

2020 has taught us that what we thought we knew about the employee experience didn’t apply in pandemic times. The beginning of 2021 is the perfect time to apply some fresh thinking to what we measure and action in organization surveys.

If employee engagement made sense in the past, what makes sense in 2021?

Dr. Sarah Johnson (LinkedIn profile) Vice President, Enterprise Surveys and Analytics for an enlightening discussion that may alter your own new year’s resolutions.

Do you have two minutes? Let me tell you a story.

Creating a strategy used to be an arduous and lengthy process that lasted months and resulted in a document that was hundreds of pages: written once, but read never.

In today’s business environment, who has that amount of extra time? Developing a strategy has become easier, with 15 pages replacing hundreds.

But even 15 pages is 14 too many when trying to engage an enterprise in business growth. This complimentary webinar explores the Art of the One-page Strategy, showing you how to use storytelling to articulate business strategy and success.

Discussion Topics:

• Use storytelling to accelerate business growth
• Techniques for developing an artful 1-page strategy
• How a 1-page strategy fits within an executive presentation

In this strategy and planning webinar Heather Colella, (LinkedIn profile) Gartner VP Analyst explores the art of strategic planning, helping attendees learn how to articulatetheir vision in just 1 page!

The learning goal is getting underneath how stakeholder conversations can build engagement, ownership, and so transform delivery performance. How courage builds respect and vulnerability opens up trust, in the moment.

Applying leadership to the real conversations of projects, and specifically when landing projects with stakeholders in ‘the business’.

Replacing live theatre with interactive video, this facilitated workshop will use a metaphoric project story to provoke and carry the learning.

Around the story episodes, there will be audience interaction: In breakouts, polls and experimentation, where the audience can choose how they want the behaviour of the characters, and so the story, to change.

No one will be bored, APM promises.
