Pi Wen 100x100James Ware 100x100This session is for anyone who manages Gen Y workers and remote workers, IT professionals who are involved with mobile technology, and knowledge workers who work on-the-go. Past research on mobile workforce has focused on either the technology needs of mobile workers or the challenges of managing a virtual workforce. This Mobile Workforce Survey is the first ever to take an integrated look at both the hardware needs of mobile workers (e.g., mobile devices) and the factors that impact their engagement and personal views about mobile or remote work.

Join Dr. Pi Wen Looi, Founder and Principal of Novacrea Research Consulting and Dr. James Ware, Director of The Future of Work… unlimited, as they present their latest Mobile Workforce Survey findings and share ideas on how you could use these insights to engage your mobile workers.

Key takeaways

  • How and where knowledge workers are getting their work done today

  • What tools they use to be productive

  • How their mobility is affecting their work and their professional and personal relationships

  • Tips for managing and engaging remote workers.

Lunch & Learn Webinar: Negotiating Team Conflicts Productively

Complimentary Lunch & Learn Webinar: Negotiating Team Conflicts Productively

Thursday, February 7, 2013 from 12:00-12:40 PM Pacific Time

Space is limited.

Reserve your webinar seat now!

Handling Team Conflicts ProductivelyThis session highlights the critical tools that teams can utilize as they negotiate conflicts that arise in the process of doing business.  Teams that avoid conflict or become embroiled in conflict tend to stagnate resulting in poor morale, low commitment, and poor execution. 

Contrary to popular belief conflict is normal and essential to developing a high-functioning team.  Teams that fail to learn how to negotiate conflict can get stuck in power struggles or perhaps even worse, develop a posture of compliance to each other.  Both these outcomes lead to a sense of being stuck, and ultimately, a failure to air and address issues in a timely and effective manner.

Key takeaways

1. Be able to identify common pitfalls associated with conflict.

2. Learn about communication styles that impede or enhance alignment.

3. Learn skills for moving through conflict.

Daniel GuilloryMost leaders, managers, and staff utilize less than 50% of their creative and intuitive ability. This is not because of inherent limitations, but because of unawareness of how to incorporate these relatively simple practices utilizing visualization, the sleep state, subliminal perception, the integrated model of the brain, and other leading-edge creativity concepts into their daily job performance.

This presentation shares a wide variety of techniques, methods, and experiential processes for the participants to choose from in order to harness the amazing power of creativity and innovation in the workplace. It also provides the opportunity for participants to go beyond linear business and managerial problem-solving and to master this skill in a way that it becomes a regular part of their day-to-day operation. We will also discuss how participants can promote a more creative work environment among their co-workers.

Daniel Guillory, CEO of Innovations International, is a recognized expert on creativity and innovation, leadership and collaboration. Many different corporations and non-profits including Toyota Financial Services, Ronald McDonald House Foundation, Merck & Co., and Anheuser-Busch have turned to Daniel for his guidance on how to strategically approach these areas, and for assistance in implementing tactical solutions in learning and development. Prior to working with Innovations, Mr. Guillory was an attorney with Pillsbury Madison & Sutro LLP and remains a member of the California Bar. He received his J.D. from Harvard Law School and his B.A. in International Relations from Stanford University.

Thursday, March 18, 2010, 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM PDT

The Internet has changed the world in the mid 90’s and Social Media is changing it again today. Today’s Social Media platforms (from LinkedIn, to Facebook, Twitter, and you name it), offer extraordinary capabilities and unique opportunities which can bring about significant business and personal benefits.  However, many businesses and users are not realizing these benefits, either a) getting caught up in the social media “chatter” and spending too much time in these platforms with little or no returns, or b) not fully leveraging the capabilities of these platforms, or c) writing them off all together as irrelevant or unimportant-- the place where people post what they had for lunch. 

Whatever our view is on social media, the reality is that 100’s of millions of users are engaged in these platforms, and this large user base includes many of our customers, employees, partners, colleagues, friends, and family members. It is imperative then that we better understand these platforms, become skilled at using them, and learn how to fully leverage them. In this session, we will explore their capabilities, and discuss ways in which we can use them strategically and purposefully, to achieve significant business and personal value. 

What you will get as a result of this session:

  • If you are new to social media, this session will provide you with everything you need to get started including demonstrations of each of the platforms. 
  • If you are already using these platforms, you will gain additional insights into how to use them more strategically and purposefully. 
  • In addition (as an extra bonus), you will learn firsthand about the Results Curve™ and how it can help you in managing social media and other interrupting technologies such as e-mail and Instant Messaging. 

Please take a few minutes to fill out the Social Media Inbox survey before the session(if you haven’t done so already):

With today’s increasingly virtual and global workforce, and the pressure to reduce costs and be “green,” Virtual Worlds are more applicable than ever before. Virtual Words such as Second Life have brought about some unique opportunities for collaboration, training, meeting, prototyping, conducting simulations, marketing, selling, innovating and more. And just as importantly, with the help of Virtual Worlds, virtual teams don’t have to miss the opportunity of having “water cooler moments”, “informal learning”, and “team building.” 

In this session, we will walk through a number of case studies to show you how companies from all industries and of all sizes are adopting and leveraging Virtual Worlds platforms. We will also demonstrate Second Life and walk you through the People-OnTheGo Accomplishing More Island in Second Life. We will then discuss costs and ROI. 

This session is ideal for: 
- Managers of virtual teams 
- Trainers who train and coach virtual teams 
- Curious visionaries who want to learn more about the applications and potential of Virtual Worlds in the workplace and beyond
