The current health and financial crises are happening to us without our permission or desire.  There will come a time — hopefully soon — when we have both the desire and the urgency to rebuild.  The challenge, then, will be to go beyond where we were before things went bad, and do it fast.  That’s easier said that done, as it surely will involve taking action and tackling projects to produce innovative results that surpass past practice.

In place of what would be a normal PEN breakfast forum (so bring your own coffee!), the Performance Excellence Network is pleased to host a special online livestream discussion on Thursday, April 30: “Focusing on the Right Things during Crisis & in the Future: the Adaptive Will Survive.”  The discussion will be facilitated by Tony Belilovskiy of C3 Excellence out of Sarasota, Florida.

The purpose for this thought-leading webinar is to prepare for that day.  If it is true that luck favors the prepared mind, this is your lucky day!  Traditional “project management” assumes the solution is known and your job is to execute it: your task in “normal times” is to manage the time, budget, resources, and risks to achieve a defined result.  But in today’s environment, unfortunately, change leaders do not have such a clear path and must instead create WOW results out of uncertainty.  In this discussion, Tony will explore how to create success and emerge as winners after these dark times by concentrating on the critical few products, services, processes that are crucial for your organization to both survive in the near term and thrive thereafter. Old thinking must go the way of the virus.

This discussion will outline the new thinking and tools to select the right things to work on and develop a final solution that is compelling, based on unimpeachable data, and supported by new customer insights.

Success requires a transformation system as well as a systems approach to transformation. You’ll experience both here.  See how insightful leaders achieved “impossible” outcomes, excited customers, engaged employees, and set new measures of success at high speed others can only dream about.  Learn how multiple practitioners got lightning-fast results, such as $20 million in savings, response and cycle time reductions of 80%, and recognition for best-in-class enterprise performance.

The discussion will explore:

• Selecting the critical few issues for focus, from too many choices
• Defining the process problem so well it is half-solved
• Avoiding scope creep and team dysfunction
• Incorporating the voice of the customer priorities into process work
• Changing how process owners & teams think to reveal innovative solutions
• Using new tools, going beyond tired past practices of the last century
• Assuring the remedy is compelling, unimpeachable and executed fast

This discussion is a one-hour preview of a tool-rich half-day workshop, “Out of Crisis: Strategy & Tools for Transformation Leaders,” scheduled for June 2.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

If you are an executive, change agent, innovation leader, or Lean Six Sigma MBB impatient for transformative results, this jargon-free session is for you!

• The 8 Dimensions of Excellence framework that aligns your project with strategic, operations, and customer priorities

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn some methods to help us prioritize, focus, and execute our way out of crisis!  The discussion will be livestreamed over Zoom Thursday, April 30 from 8:00-9:00 CT.  Grab your coffee and breakfast, and join us for a rich discussion.  Free for PEN members; $20 for non-members.
