Leveraging the Potential Power of AI While Mitigating the Equally Potential Peril
Like most people today, you are likely trying to understand and harness the power of AI without unintentionally unleashing the peril of this technology. Join this session to understand the advancing capabilities of AI and the risks. This session will detail the reality of AI, provide proven practices that are enabling teams and organizations to do more with less, and mitigate risks along the way.
Navigating Uncertainty Through Mindset and Grit
In all aspects of work and life we are witnessing increased volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (it’s “VUCA”). Dr. Tim Rahschulte will lead participants in this session through a guided tour of challenges and opportunities presented in our VUCA world. Positivity, resilience, and grit are among the many take-aways participants will have along with action items to apply for their own personal and professional benefit and within their organization to recognize and leverage VUCA for better outcomes. Also discussed will be the role of leaders (like you) responsible for managing teams navigating VUCA and how they can inspire and motivate their teams during such times of upheaval.
Strategic Thinking, Planning, Forming, and Implementing
Due to the amount of change happening in local government today, leaders need to manage very flexible short- and long-term strategies that balance competing priorities while aligning constrained resources of people, time, and money. Facilitated by Dr. Tim Rahschulte, this webinar provides best practices in strategy planning and strategy implementation. The session will start with an overview of the importance of strategy, strategic thinking, and the management of strategy implementation relative to the dynamic of government business. Importantly, particular attention will be provided to how strategy is used to drive innovation, leverage technology, and accommodate the needs of customers and employees. The interactive discussion will then dive into the critical process of strategy planning and implementing. Participants will learn about the influencing variables of strategy and the critical success factors that create real value from effective strategy. As such, this webinar goes (far) beyond organizational mission statements and visioning exercises. Specifically, the session will cover key techniques and modeling work to establish an executable strategy that yields increasing value in the products and services you offer to customers every day. By the end of the session, participants will have a clear understanding of how to develop and implement effective strategic plans and be better equipped to create positive outcomes in your local government from your strategy.
Bridging the Generational Divide in our Workforce
Leading the multiple generations in our workforce can be quite challenging. Even the most experienced leaders in local government are realizing the importance of situational awareness, the need for individualized consideration, and applying strategies that bridge generational divide to provide value across all generations. Join your peers in this webinar in which Dr. Tim Rahschulte will explain the challenges of managing a multi-generational workforce and provide practical strategies for bridging the divide and creating increased collaboration among your workforce team. Dr. Tim will outline the characteristics and values of each generation represented in our workforce today, share common stereotypes associated with each generation, and detail how they can impact workforce dynamics. Importantly, strategies will be shared for building a culture of inclusion and understanding, techniques for promoting open communication, creating opportunities for cross-generational collaboration, and leveraging the strengths of each generation for the benefit of each person in your workforce and each customer they serve in your community. As part of this conversation, we will explore together ways to address conflicts that arise due to generational differences and how to foster a workplace culture that values diversity and inclusivity.
