In this half-day workshop, learn from Greg MacDougall about how to better manage the effectiveness of your strategy process rollouts.
Overview
The successful rollout of strategically deployed management systems and processes requires both an effective strategy and PDCA rollout oversight that includes transformative leaders. As a lifelong project manager, Greg MacDougall has come to better understand these successful strategic outcomes. The requirements of situational (day-to-day) leadership alone will not support the transformative process! This workshop will focus on those differences and how the role of transformational leadership can better support the effective rollout of strategy-focused project/program deployment and its corresponding PDCA implementation cycle.
Learn how to better manage the effectiveness of your strategy process rollouts from inception through project management planning, catch-balling, cascading management huddles, leader standard work, related team meetings, team training and more. Project examples (including personal application) will demonstrate and reinforce the importance of effective, engaged leadership in the transformative process.
