Senior Leadership Network Meeting/Program January 17.
Join us at 8 a.m at Bioanalytical Systems, Faraday Room for the program, Getting the Values Right in your Organization, given by Karl Ahlrichs.
Starting 2012 off right, we tackle a really tough subject. Values are a seldom discussed big issue. Get the values right and customers stay, productivity climbs, and profitability arrives. Business owners, CEOs and CFOs talk of value, value propositions and creating value, but HR usually misunderstands what the term really means. Values and Culture—like beauty—are often in the eye of the beholder.
This session will build comfort and knowledge with this vague but very important term. We will discuss the origins, the application, some case studies, and the proper use of value as a lever in defining the workforce’s impact on the bottom line. Specific subjects to be discussed will include:
Value vs. Values
What the owner thinks vs. how it is perceived
Three problems with values across the generations
What the customer or client really wants
How to “bullet proof” your culture when you finally get it right
The speaker will be Karl Ahlrichs, SPHR. Karl has broad experience in operations and senior level problem solving, with proven skills in handling complex organizational issues with uncommon sense.
