Effective Leadership in Changing Times
Workplace Application: This session will provide simple yet powerful strategies to help you understand the typical individual responses to change events, gain clarity on the three stages of organizational change and your role in each stage and avoid barriers leaders create.

The ability to respond to the rapid pace of changing events is becoming a key competitive advantage for organizations today.  Ensuring that the organization is building a core competency in leading change is a powerful method by which you can add real value to the bottom line.  In this program Cy will show you how fast-paced organizations can thrive in challenging times as they break through “learned helplessness” and rally their teams to respond to challenges while maintaining 100% accountability.

Presenter: Cy Wakeman, Keynote Speaker and Consultant, Cy Wakeman Inc, Sioux City, Iowa

Workplace Application: This session will show you how your organization can operate successfully in this new technologically-savvy business environment.

Ethan Yarbrough will discuss how to design and implement workplace technology solutions and business cultures to help organizations operate effectively within the context of a rapidly evolving business environment; the next generation workplace.  A new generation of employees is entering the workforce, social computing/2.0 technologies are being adopted in business, and employees are demanding more flexible work environments and corporate data is growing.

Engaging Employees, Despite the Obstacles: HR’s Pending Challenge (and Strategic  Opportunity)
Workplace Application: This session reviews the economic, demographic and organizational factors that contribute to employee dis-engagement, and offers a best-practice model for re-engaging your workforce, despite the obstacles.

Senior executives increasingly cite employee engagement as an organizational priority. Yet a perfect storm of factors - the workforce shift from Baby Boomers to Gen X/Y, reductions in pay, benefits and other aspects of the “employment contract” and effects of economic decisions such as layoffs threaten to erode engagement. Despite these obstacles, you can take the lead in re-engaging even a skeptical workforce. This session will offer a model based on extensive employee research and best-practice examples.

Presenter: Alison Davis, Founder & CEO, Davis & Company, Glen Rock, N.J.


Creating Effective Executive Compensation and Rewards Strategies For Sustaining a Competitive Advantage
Workplace Application:  You will learn how to help your organization use executive
compensation and effective rewards strategies to attract, retain and motivate key
employees. You will also be able to better advise your company as a result of what you
will learn in this session.

This session will provide practical information to those who are wrestling with bonus,
incentive and compensation issues. We have all seen what has happened in a down economy,
in 2009 there will be many companies who wrestle with the issue of incentives and whether
or how to implement them. The information you learn will help you and your organization
achieve a competitive advantage by attracting and retaining great people. The discussion
will include how companies, both private and public, use this and other vehicles to help
incentivize and become more focused on the achievements of your company’s strategic goals.

Presenter: Jim Moniz, president, Northeast Vision Link, Hanover, Ma
