WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

High performance exists at the intersection of leadership,
communication, management and results. Successful organizations
today use information to optimize their business and drive sustainable
competitive advantage. However, many organizations struggle to make
their information work for them. Plus, for an organization to achieve its
goals, leaders must motivate, inspire and harness the talents of its most
valuable resource - people.
Consider these facts:
- "Companies with high levels of engagement increased operating margins by almost four percent over a three-year period." - Towers Perin/ISR
- 71% of Americans who go to work every day are not engaged in their job. This
equates to business operating at one-third their capacity. - Gallup Group
- Engaged employees perform 20% better and are 87% less likely to leave the organization.
- Maritz Market Research
- Disengagement costs 250 billion dollars due to low productivity alone. - Gallup Poll
- According to the Harvard Business Review article, "Rebuilding Companies as Communities," by Henry Mintzberg, "Companies must remake themselves into places of engagement, where people are committed to one another and their enterprise."
