Morning Session: Successful Strategy Execution through People

This interactive exploration and discovery session will be led by seasoned strategy and change initiative experts. Through innovative visual methodologies and interactive dialogue, you will identify the barriers to successful strategy execution in your leader, manager, and frontline groups.

We’ll expose the mistakes that are common in executing strategic initiatives and reveal best practices for addressing them. Using the experience of organizational leaders, we’ll build a “strategic execution blueprint” to enable future success.

In addition, John Coyle, Senior Director of Customer Strategy and Marketing at the award-winning customer service provider, U.S. Cellular, will offer a real-world perspective on rolling out a critical corporate strategy. He will be discussing best practices learned during his organizations strategy execution process.

Following the morning session, we’ll take a deeper dive into the role of managers in driving and sustaining strategy execution through an optional afternoon session.

Afternoon Session: Managers in the Middle

Research and observation shows that well-trained managers are the lynchpin that connects your frontline to your business strategy to advance business results. However, few organizations fully leverage their manager talent. Based on work with hundreds of organizations, we will share Root’s point of view on the critical role of managers and will explore a process to propel them toward more effective leadership.
