SUMMARY:Free Webinar - Executive Team Building and Culture Development
DESCRIPTION:The Clemmer Group Presents:\nLearn vital executive team and culture development strategies\nDrawing from decades of work with hundreds of executive teams\, Jim Clemmer will deliver an energizing and information-packed webinar on the critical and intertwined need for leadership/culture development and executive team building. This fast-paced 60-minute session will focus on proven frameworks and best practices that empower executive teams – and their organizations – to develop a peak performance culture. \nMany organizations are struggling with rapid change\, economic uncertainty\, attracting and retaining top people\, employee engagement\, improving health and safety\, and improving customer service. \nThese pressures are pulling executive teams in all directions. Many teams are crazy busy and overwhelmed by a barrage of urgent operational issues and frantic activity. Sometimes executive teams are conflicted and need help getting back on track. More often\, executive teams slip into ineffective “wheel spinning” patterns like priority overload with too many crisis and pressing urgencies\, eroding trust and cooperation\, communication breakdowns\, a daily e-mail deluge\, ineffective meetings\, or departmental silos. \nCommon failure factors\nDecades of research shows that up to 70% of efforts to improve customer service\, quality\, safety\, productivity\, innovation\, employee engagement\, retain top talent\, or introduce new technologies fail. \nLike a gnarled root system\, common causes of failure are intertwined with personal\, team\, and organizational behaviors and conditions. A major factor is how the organization’s culture ripples out from the management team leading it. The executive team models behavior patterns that set the tone and examples for the entire organization. \nExecutive team effectiveness and organizational factors are often rooted in these underlying causes: \n\nSpeed Traps and Tyranny of the Urgent – flooded by e-mails\, endless meetings\, and crisis management many leaders become reactive micromanagers and lose sight of the big picture.\nPartial and Piecemeal Programs – leadership training\, succession planning\, customer service\, six sigma\, safety\, talent/performance management\, IT systems\, and such are disconnected and disjointed.\nLeadership Lip Service – organizational leaders send contradictory messages about core values or embracing change by their inconsistent actions and behaviors.\nNot Building Change Capacity – many change and development efforts fail to engage the hearts and heads of key leaders and frontline staff and don’t energize and equip them to make it happen.\nTeams Not Pulling Together – strong leaders drive change in their “silo” and work at cross-purposes. This undermines both the team and the change/development effort.\nCommunication Breakdowns – leadership teams aren’t united in strategic priorities\, key messages\, behaviors that model the vision and values\, and rigorous implementation planning.\nFailing to Follow Through – strategies and development plans can quickly lose focus when they don’t have a robust implementation process engaging key teams with a disciplined follow through process.\n\nLeadership and organization culture are THE critical X factors. “Soft” leadership and culture boosts or BLOCKS strategy\, structure\, and change initiatives. \n  \nMore About What You Will Learn and to Register

SUMMARY:Squaring Aspirational Planning & Infrastructure Financing - MFOA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Squaring planning objectives with municipal finance is particularly challenging in an environment of reduced or eliminated\, grants and subsidies from upper levels of government. This session will explore the challenges of and solutions to this planning-finance conundrum. \nThe discussion will be based on recent Ontario experience where the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and other plans seek aggressive change in the density of new housing and use of public transport. \nWhile development charges and other fees need to be consistent with the plans\, what happens when this might turn into unsound financial planning? It has implications for land use planning\, municipal finance\, municipal governance and even how professionals execute their fiduciary responsibilities. \nREGISTER for January 26 webinar  \n

SUMMARY:Public Sector Digest - Analyzing Traffic Congestion & Policy Solutions for Canadian Municipalities Webinar
DESCRIPTION:PSD Open Webinar \nCities across Canada are experiencing unparalleled gridlock\, leading to increases in pollution\, obstruction of business operations\, diminished quality of life for commuters\, and contributing to the deterioration of municipal infrastructure. While common policy solutions\, such as road expansion and adjusting traffic signal re-timing\, have been well researched\, these types of solutions have proven to be too costly for cities\, highly unpopular among voters\, or in some cases have accomplished little in alleviating the overall problem of traffic congestion. \n Together with project partners City of Vancouver\, City of Surrey\, and TransLink\, PSD’s research team has completed a study analyzing the economic\, social\, and environmental costs of traffic congestion for Canadian cities\, with an in-depth look at defining congestion and the efficacy of new innovative policies and solutions to combat this significant problem.  \n Please join us as we discuss and expand on our findings of congestion and congestion reduction initiatives across Canada. \nClick Here to Register
