Optimizing Productivity for Client Success

Tired of productivity talks that feel like a checklist of apps you'll never use? Let’s shake it up.

Productivity isn’t just about doing more - it’s about delivering meaningful client results. This session explores how better workflows, communication, and collaboration lead to happier teams and more successful projects.

Expect an interactive, high-energy experience full of creative strategies and real-world examples. We’ll dive into time-saving tactics to manage multiple intake channels, the practical benefits of AI-assisted note-taking, and lightweight automation concepts that can help you keep work moving.

Together, we’ll run a live 4Ls retrospective (Liked, Learned, Lacked, Longed For) to crowdsource productivity insights and surface fresh ideas you can bring back to your team.

If you're leading projects, managing operations, or just looking to work smarter, you'll leave with actionable strategies that boost both team efficiency and client satisfaction.

Maximizing Project Success: High-Value Partnerships

The contract is signed, the project team is defined, and goals are set. So you’re probably thinking, let’s kick the project off. Although it’s exciting to jump in and make progress on a new project, there’s a lot to think about before getting started.

Successful projects are a result of great partnerships, and it’s important to establish a strong project team and be on the same page from the start. In this session, we’ll cover the importance of:
- Business and client team building
- Encouraging Trust through transparency and delivery
- Empowering decision-makers with a discovery-first approach
- Performing phased projects to deliver success when dealing with high-risk and uncertainty
