Topics
Change Readiness & Management
We’ve all heard of change management, but how can it help us be prepared for the unexpected?
Why is it important to use this framework to manage evolving situations?
In high-pressure environments, such as during a crisis or disaster, the ability to manage change can significantly impact response times, coordination, and overall success. By implementing structured change management processes, organizations can prepare their teams to quickly adopt new roles, workflows, and technologies that may arise no matter how big or small the challenge is, or the size of your organization.
In this session, we will discuss this proactive approach to minimize confusion, boost morale, and help maintain business continuity of operations across all impacts, dependencies and stakeholders while driving innovation and teamwork.
Listening to Learn, And Act!
How can becoming an active listener make me a better leader and/or people manager?
How can active listening impact my workforce's mental and physical health?
Leadership isn’t just a ‘what’s in it for them’ sales pitch—it’s a ‘what’s in it for us’ model where the breadcrumbs of seemingly disparate conversations and appropriate, trusted data are woven together for organizational transformation.
In this session, we will discuss empathy and transparency of leadership; how the perception of our behavior can build or break relationships; how we can leverage data in our decision making, and how listening to learn can become trust-building action.
The What, Who & Why of Consent Management
What is permission and consent management?
Who are the stakeholders?
Why does it matter?
Privacy laws around the United States are evolving and consumer expectations are getting higher everyday. Understanding the framework and fundamentals are important to not only efficiently establishing and/or maintaining compliance but also making the most of your first-party data.
In this session, we will establish foundational understanding of what is consent management; how organizations can meet internal goals and data governance needs; discuss related activities that support identity management and data governance (like cookie tracking and clean rooms); and review how to approach looking for technologies that can help you manage this (no specific platforms are endorsed).
Strategic SWOT Mission
Engage in this Strategic SWOT Mission and find your organization’s balance between mission, fiscal solvency, and delivering value, giving space to all stakeholders and perspectives in a trusted space.
Strategic planning is a collaborative, proactive conversation that can help establish a firm foundation for an organization, expand or deepen its member engagement, and ensure it’s long-term viability in a community.
In this session, we’ll discuss the importance of strategic planning, highlight similarities and differences between strategy and tactics, review the framework of a strategic plan, and discuss the value and impact of a quality strategic plan on an organization, no matter its tenure or size.
Get Your Gloves On: Lean into Agile with Ivan & Sarah
Agile and Lean Six Sigma are often treated as opponents in a boxing match. Round by round, sprint by sprint, phase by phase – at odds with each other in a fundamental way with one focused on speed, the other on process stability and precision.
In reality, both share a common goal: continuous improvement and delivering tangible business value. Agile dons its satin robe through adaptability and feedback loops, while Lean Six Sigma brings to the ring structured problem-solving, waste reduction, and data-driven decisions. Together, they form a powerful foundation for resilient, high-performing teams delivering the KO in business value.
Attendees will not just learn the fundamental tenets of Lean Six Sigma and Agile, but also walk away with an understanding of how both approaches can work together to create stronger teams, smarter processes, and better technical and business outcomes. As we look to the future, how teams can, should, and would ethically leverage AI in a discussion of real world use case retrospective what-ifs.
Get out your gloves, and ring the bell! Round one starts now!
