The Breakfast Club NJ Presents: "How
to Create an Innovative Organization" by Frank Wander
Saturday July 12, 2014 at 8:00 am
Please share with other groups you may be in.
The Presentation: "How to Create an Innovative Organization"
Every firm faces daunting challenges: Cloud, Mobile,
Social Media, Big Data, Security and an Employee Disengagement Crisis.   Some are even calling this the end of
business as we know it. As this
transformation unfolds, talent will reemerge as the source of enduring
competitive advantage. In this
presentation, Frank will share how the winning companies of today have learned
to unlock the talent potential of their workforce, by building innovative and
high performing cultures. People aren't
interchangeable parts - they never were.
Every leader must become as adept at running the human infrastructure,
as they are at managing process and technology.
In this talk, Frank will share:
·         What culture actually is
>·         The five levels of cultural
maturity
>·         How you can design a high
performing culture
>·         Why institutional knowledge
has such high productive and innovative value
>·         Why certain roles are
assets, and others are expenses
About
the speaker: Frank Wander is
an author, former CIO, and founder of PeopleProductive, a technology driven
consultancy providing workforce productivity and innovation solutions to
clients. After investing many years
transforming failing IT divisions across corporations, Wander realized these
failures had a consistent root cause: corporate cultures where the leaders knew
everything about products, processes and technology, but nothing about the
human factors that underpin workforce productivity and innovation. This awareness led him to write a book for
Wiley Publishing, titled Transforming IT Culture: How to Use Social
Intelligence, Human Factors and Collaboration to Create an IT Department that
Outperforms. This book is the missing
Operators Manual for the human infrastructure.
PeopleProductive helps
companies build high performing cultures, by applying the human factors of
productivity and innovation to unlock five levels of cultural maturity. Products include cultural assessments,
cultural transformation roadmaps and implementations, management off-sites/workshops,
organizational design services, workforce planning, and training. In these times of tight budgets, the largest
unexploited opportunity for most companies is to unlock the full talent
potential of their existing staff, often doubling their productivity.
Prior to the Institute, Frank
was a Chief Information Officer at three different companies, most recently at
Guardian Life Insurance Company of America. Wander is a sought after speaker
and panelist at industry events who connects with his audience by sharing
meaningful stories, and proven strategies for creating high performance. He has
given the keynote address at many technology industry events, and has appeared
on Business Insider, internet radio, and in the Wall Street Journal.
