This three-day event will be held so that all of the your employees, customers, and stakeholders who were interviewed will have a chance to participate. The participants will be trained in how to become more productive, both personally and as a group. They will also validate, quantify, and prioritize opportunities for creating cost effectiveness and unique advantages in the your industry market. They will develop personal performance improvement plans that will contribute toward overall goals. The participants will learn specific skills to become more productive by identifying and freeing up non-productive time and spending this freed time on higher value-added activities.

The seminars will be highly tailored to the participants' unique opportunities and obstacles. Senior management will present their mission, vision, values, goals and direction to establish alignment throughout the organization. Quotes and data from the interviews and survey will ensure that the participants stay focused on solving their own challenges. In addition, the participation of customers and key stakeholders will provide an added incentive for the participants to identify and accelerate the change process. Team activities will also take place during the seminars to identify projects that will move the organization closer to its goals.

A number of tools and approaches will be used during the three-day seminar, including a short questionnaire to gather data on people's job satisfaction, job stress, autonomy, and lifestyle habits. This information is used to assess people's leadership and followership styles, and has an impact on how the organization can best accomplish and sustain the quantum change process. We will teach high performance skills to create a sense of greater control, satisfaction, and reduced negative stress. Proprietary and custom-designed software will be used to quickly analyze all seminar data both on-site and after the event.
