In this webinar Rajesh Krishnan (LinkedIn profile) will take a deep dive to understand the fundamentals of the Design Thinking approach.

You will experience the power of Design Thinking concepts that can lead to the path of innovation and unveil new possibilities to generate valuable Projects.

Projects that will add customer and Business value. Ultimately leading to your organization’s success.

Design Thinking revolves around a deep interest in developing an understanding of the people for whom we’re designing the products or services. It helps us observe and develop empathy with the target end user.

Design Thinking helps us in the process of questioning: questioning the problem, questioning the assumptions, and questioning the implication.

Some of the world’s leading brands, such as Apple, Google, Samsung and GE, have rapidly adopted the Design Thinking approach, and Design Thinking is being taught at leading universities around the world, including d.school, Stanford, Harvard and MIT.

5 Key Areas That Support Employee Engagement & Well-Being
In A Post-Management World

Two years into a pandemic, and COVID is still reaching new peaks.

Your people are burned out, disillusioned, and heading for the door. A record number quit their jobs last quarter.

Leaders are burning out too, right when companies need their energy and guidance the most. With our workforces scattered and disillusioned, leaders and managers often feel helpless as they cannot turn to their usual playbooks to regain control.

In this session Scott Rigby PhD (LinkedIn profile) Behavioral Scientist, Founder/CEO, MotivationWorks will explore why this is a good thing.

Scott will unpack how we do not just long for a post-pandemic world, we also can embrace that we are in a post-management world: One in which our role is to support and facilitate employee self-motivation, rather than managing them from above.

Scott will also look at evidence that this approach is likely the solution to employee engagement, inclusion, and well-being you have been striving for all along, well before a pandemic arrived.

As you’ll see, there is a great opportunity to transform how we define the mission, understand employee experience, provide training, communicate, and gauge performance – all based in a clear and powerful model for self-determination backed by 40 years of data.

Take-aways include:

• Learn about the new post-management world, in which the role of leaders is to support and facilitate employee self-motivation, rather than managing them from above
•  Learn 5 proven ways to support employee engagement and well-being in a post-management world.
• How to empower employees’ self-motivation for their work, success, and growth.

Workforce Management estimates that companies spend a combined $8 billion on diversity and inclusion training annually. At the same time, Human Resource Management Journal reports that diversity and inclusion consultants earn a combined $400 million to $600 million annually in consulting fees alone.

Diversity and inclusion consultants make an average base pay of $70,657 a year and up to $107,000, according to Glassdoor. But are these investments paying off? Some experts argue that, despite decades of handwringing, costly initiatives, and uncomfortable conversations, organizations have, apart from a few exceptions, fallen far short of their goals.

The good news is that progress is being made. Research by The Conference Board indicates while the impact of DEI solutions still focuses primarily on improvement in representation measures, many organizations are tying programs to preventive measures such as turnover, absenteeism, and engagement, as well as value-add measures, such as productivity, quality, sales, brand recognition, and ROI.

But how do you design DEI solutions to improve these measures? During this interactive session, you will learn how to overcome these barriers and prove the value of DEI solutions by applying a Diversity ROI-based implementation strategy to ensure your DEI solutions deliver results that matter.

Objectives

1. Align DEI solutions with the needs of the business.
2. Design DEI solutions to deliver application, impact, and ROI.
3. Plan next steps to ensure DEI solutions deliver value.
