| As CEO of CEOC it is my pleasure to announce our Performance and Culture Alignment Workshops powered by Carpedia.Predictable results are difficult to obtain. Alignment issues in performance management, leadership behaviors, and conflicting value systems conspire against predictability. Integrating the values of your business with leadership behavior and aligning leadership behavior with the performance system can isolate issues that cause unpredictable results.
At the CEOC Performance and Culture Alignment Workshops you will do a holistic review of your company and you will leave with a customized plan that:
- Unravels the complexities that cause misalignment, and
- Identifies measurable improvements that you can implement to improve your efficiency and profit margins.
Carpedia’s results-oriented methodology has been improving results at Fortune 500 companies like Heinz, Oldcastle, and DHL on five continents for nearly 25 years. Now it is available to Mid-Market companies through CEO Connection.
In 2018, there are three CEOC Performance and Cultural Alignment workshopdates and locations for your convenience:
