Wiring the Winning Organization: Creating unassailable value to society through managing the "social circuitry" of a learning organization
Description:
In every field, including healthcare, there are those few exemplars who generate and deliver so much more value to society than others, outperforming on every metric with rich rewards for all stakeholders.
Their secret? They’ve figured out how to engage the vast intellect distributed throughout their enterprise, so they’re outsmarting their rivals with every twist and turn. The best do this by deliberately designing, operating and improving the “social circuitry” overlay of the process and procedures by which individual effort is integrated toward a common purpose. This way, people can give the fullest expression of their innate creativity and constantly push to discover more. Problems are seen and solved with such variety, volume, speed and certainty that the leaders are always pace-setting at finding new opportunities and advancing their practical understanding of what to do and how to get it done.
Learning Objectives:Appreciate the huge delta in performance between the best and everyone else across sectors
Gain introduction to key concepts and frameworks that explain such enormous and sustained differences
Have an illustration of those ideas in practical use and have a chance to translate into ideas they can bring into action in their own situations
