Deloitte’s Global Human Resources Trends indicates that employee engagement (and culture) is the number one challenge facing business leaders. But they sadly claim, that organizations are only ‘somewhat ready’ for this challenge.

Many leaders and CEO’s STILL haven’t embraced engagement as a strategic business initiative!

If your organization is one of them, this could be a costly oversight! 

Why is this the case?  After 5 years of surviving countless organizational layoffs, job eliminations, mergers, reductions in training and development investments, and few promotions and pay increases, your employees are again be in the driver’s seat.

In this high energy and captivating webinar, global engagement thought leader and bestselling author Bob Kelleher will give you practical and specific ideas to help ‘engage’ your leadership team.

Specifically Bob will outline:

• Key business metrics proving that engagement DRIVES business results
• Specific ideas to help you ‘get’ the attention of the C Suite that engagement must be a priority
• How to help leaders create a line of sight describing where the company is going, how you’re going to get there, and what role all of your employees play in helping you get there.
• How to measure the ROI of your engagement efforts
• Why training your first line leaders is a necessary first step to engagement
• How to build a communication ‘promise’ that will build alignment, engagement, and consistency of message
• How effective performance management drives engagement (because A players want to work with A players)
• Why building a culture of celebration and recognition drives positive  business results

Extracting knowledge from various workers is a key competency required for the current project professional.

Whether it involves product requirements, user acceptance criteria, creating the definition of done, determining value of stories in a backlog, or obtaining executive critical success factors, the project professional delivers many artifacts that depend on input from various knowledge workers scattered throughout the organization.

In this session Lynda & David will focus on the approach the project professional must take to have effective elicitation sessions.  You must approach it from the knowledge worker perspective and be able to establish an environment of trust and psychological safety.

They will discuss the importance of humility and that you are eliciting information.

They  will discuss the importance of seeing that environment to facilitate active listening and interactive engagement.

They will also take a holistic approach to the elicitation including setting expectations, eliciting information, and providing feedback.

Finally, they will explore the impact that cultural intelligence is a factor in the overall elicitation and feedback.

Learning Objectives:

1. The importance of utilizing several components of human relationships including humility, empathy, respect, and gratitude.
2. Articulate the entire cycle of eliciting information from initial contact to knowledge exchange engagement, to paraphrase understanding, to follow-up.
3. Use Cultural Intelligence techniques to understand how knowledge extraction techniques must align with the culture of the knowledge workers.
