"I have participated in many business and human performance seminars. Aubrey’s material and effectiveness as a teacher is second to none."
Build and sustain organizational excellence.
This 2-day event, originally introduced by Dr. Aubrey Daniels through Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government is designed to address the systems, processes, and management practices of an organization and is directed towards senior managers and leaders who want a high-level program on designing an environment where people want to improve workplace results.
Many performance-killing mistakes have been institutionalized into policies, procedures, in training for new managers, and even incorporated into pay, appraisals, and motivational systems. It’s not that these practices are unnecessary, but without an understanding of behavior from a scientific perspective, these ineffective practices and systems continue to have a serious negative impact on revenue and earnings
Guided by a simple reality, people’s actions (behaviors) are the central determinant of business success; this program will examine a proven approach, based on powerful behavioral principles, for analyzing and designing the systems, processes and management practices of an organization as it relates to its people.
What You Will Learn

- A proven Management Process and strategic tools for earning discretionary effort from employees
