Location: Lincolnshire, IL, Marriott Resort.

    Presentation: "Organizational Alignment Connected with Strategy"

Integrating business strategy and quality systems begins with addressing culture and the fundamental building blocks of organizations – PEOPLE and how they think. When thinking is addressed first, these tasks become less difficult. How do you create a culture that supports the best service possible for any organization? During this session, attendees will learn the answers to such questions as: How do you get Alignment throughout the organization? How do you rethink, reset and execute for results? How do you re-energize an existing strategic plan? How do you achieve agreement between different cultures on one plan? Why can't people just get aligned? What is the cost of misalignment? How can you see strategic alignment before execution?
