The Performance Excellence Network is pleased to welcome Dr. Lynne Hamre, Dean of the School  of Business & Technology at the College of St. Scholastica, to our September 20 Twin Ports PEN breakfast discussion: “SEAM: A New Approach to Leading Change.”
 

Lynne will share an overview of SEAM, the Socio-Economic Approach to Management, that originated in France.  She will share the CSS case study — of how the College identified, quantified and reduced hidden costs, as well as how the College uses SEAM to successfully lead change through an inclusive, people-led process.  For those who attended the TPPEN discussion January 2016, Lynn will share how the College has implemented many of the findings from their first SEAM assessment.

SEAM begins with the leaders of the organization, assessing what is not functioning well, and correcting these dysfunctions. The interventions combines the diagnosis and correction with the introduction of six management tools, assessment of hidden costs, and political and strategic aspects of the change process. At the heart of SEAM is the dual emphasis: reduce hidden costs and then develop the human potential of all the employees.

The discussion is at the College of St. Scholastica, Science Center room 1111 (details provided at registration). Continental breakfast will be served from 7:00 to 7:30 with the presentation from 7:30 to 8:30 am. No cost for members; $20 for non-members. To register, contact Brian Lassiter at [email protected].
