Innovate the Lean Way
Elizabeth EngleSpeaker: Elizabeth Engel
There’s no bigger waste than investing resources working on the wrong thing. Lean start-up methodology, a development approach that requires articulating and testing assumptions, favors rapid experimentation over elaborate planning, relies on customer feedback over intuition, and encourages iterative design, has taken the business world by storm as a way of ensuring that you’re investing in the right thing. Using concrete examples of how associations are using lean start-up to innovate, you will learn to apply this technique in your own organization to eliminate waste, validate your learning, and innovate faster and more successfully.

Participants will understand the key principles behind lean startup methodology and see how it differs from lean six sigma process improvement. Participants will hear concrete examples of how associations are using lean startup to innovate. Participants will have the opportunity to apply lean startup through a table scenario exercise, working from insight through defining the problem/question to creating a minimum viable product and figuring out how to test it.

Secrets to Attracting and Keeping the Best People 
Joyce WietreckiSpeaker: Joyce Wietrecki, MA, CPC

Why do you think a good employee leaves a company? Research shows that managers have difficulty finding the right people, new hires with a poor work ethic, and not enough staff. In this presentation, you’ll learn the secret to why good employees job hop and what can be done to keep the best employees. Joyce shares her real world experience working with thousands of managers who were frustrated with high turnover and lack of employee engagement. She will reveal her ‘I CAN Lead’ model that provides a customized solution to improve retention, ignite employee engagement and maintain higher performance levels.

  • Identify the Number 1 reason a good employee leaves a company
  • Discover what you can do as a manager to retain good employees
  • Learn about the 3 step model: “I CAN Lead Others” to develop strong relationships, create positive energy, and generate unstoppable loyalty.
