The Conference Theme and Objectives

Synergy at Work:
Gathering Momentum for Meaningful Performance

From launching a new operations center in record time to eliminating polio worldwide, how can groups come together to create new realities rather than replicate the status quo? What shifts do we need to make to move from hopelessness and conflict to commitment and action in the face of such daunting challenges?

Systems thinking and the disciplines of organizational learning provide both a way of being and a practical toolset for understanding and leveraging the dynamic relationships of which we are a part. At this year’s conference, we’ll build on the themes of interdependence and collaboration to explore what distinguishes a transcendent performance from a merely excellent one—and how we can work together to produce an outcome greater than the sum of our individual contributions.

At this conference, you will:

Learn from accomplished leaders whose performance exemplifies the power of collaboration
Take away proven methods for bridging differences and catalyzing effective action by building trust and shared purpose
Explore change methodologies such as social networking, storytelling, positive deviance, and conversations that matter
Practice using systems thinking tools and models to understand and navigate complex environments
Connect with a community of passionate practitioners determined to co-create new realities

Consider bringing a team to increase your value and achieve shared vision!
