The purpose of this presentation is twofold - to bring light to two highly interdependent bottlenecks commonly found in organizations. The first bottleneck could be described as the human condition. Given how each of us interprets our own reality, it is surprising we can work together at all, let alone Think In Community. The second bottleneck is how a company, invests capital and human resources to satisfy the needs of the customer. Can a candidate project be framed to simultaneously bring higher customer value while reducing the conditions driving the first bottleneck-ultimately setting up for Thinking In Community?
We will explore selected excerpts and key elements from an integrated set of disciplines proven to successfully solve a broad range of management issues, and create a dramatically competitive advantage for any company. The exploration will end with a group activity demonstrating Thinking In Community.
