Workshop overview
When was the last time you followed a policy that you didn't understand or support? If you're like most people, it probably happens regularly.
This workshop provides an opportunity and a tool to begin to question "the way we've always done it." In this fast-paced, high-energy session, learners work in groups to list all of the rules, processes, and procedures that hinder their productivity. Then, guided by our expert facilitators, learners collaborate to plot each item according to ease of elimination, and potential impact. In the final step, leaders commit to eliminating as many items as possible and earmark the remaining items for modification or a piloted change. If you're looking for BIG impact - fast - this session's got what you need!
