Today’s leaders are laser-focused on preparing their organizations for the future.  As shifts in the economy, business and workforce impact your operations, leading your organizational transformation requires the commitment to say “yes” – to insure progress, success, growth and profits.  Visionary leaders say “yes” to building a forward-thinking organizational strategy, to change, to innovation, to leadership authenticity and to sustaining a dynamic workplace.

Trends indicate a need to create a new workplace model, in order to retain experienced executives and also attract a new generation of employees.  In a constantly changing environment, leaders are also expected to manage change, spark innovation, achieve growth and increase profits along the way.  To meet this growing challenge, conscious leaders need to generate new energy, focus on solutions and build sustainable foundations to ensure the continual health and growth of their executive teams, their workforce and their organizations.

Organizational culture can be your greatest asset – or your greatest liability. “Culture fit” is a major factor in productivity and talent retention, as well as a powerful recruitment tool.  To compete in today’s highly competitive business environment and talent market, leaders are reinventing the workplace by engaging talent, creating a common vision and aligning their culture with their strategy.

In today’s transparent technological environment, organizations need to proactively define their corporate culture – to avoid having it defined for them on social media. Visionary leaders are recognizing the compelling business case to create a positive organizational culture. This need drives leaders and organizations to adopt a new operational model consisting of highly engaged and flexible teams, driven by authentic leaders.  This dynamic work environment creates trust, values contributions, inspires loyalty and offers a defined path for learning and career development.

Kim Ann Curtin applies her valuable leadership lessons and insights, gained from veteran Wall Street executives, to organizational culture transformations – and success – in all organizations. Her unique presentation begins with a review of the Universal Needs Checklist, helping you to assess your own progress toward needs fulfillment and also better understand the fundamental needs of your workforce.

If You Build It…They Will Come & Prosper

  • Reinvent the workplace. Invigorate your teams and empower your workforce.
  • Build strong foundations with a culture focused on workforce needs, diversity and inclusion.
  • Feature a robust learning environment – to maximize employee opportunities and success.

Culture Converts Business Strategy into a Reality

  • Be a “corporate culture hero”. Inspire employees to adopt a shared vision.
  • Highlight the organization’s values and philosophies as a competitive strategy.
  • Promote positives – collaboration, contributions, new ideas and innovation.
  • Harness the power of diversity as a business strategy – to maximize value and expand awareness in a competitive environment.
  • Integrate people, networks and teams to maximize organizational advantages.

Don’t try to fit a round peg into a square hole!

  • Align employees with your company strategy – to create a shared vision and reduce stress.
  • Select talent to insure a good cultural fit – to maximize productivity and minimize turnover.
  • Avoid misconceptions. Engage in genuine and truthful communications upfront.

Employees are your most valuable asset. Visionary leaders recognize the critical need to adjust their organizations to meet new workforce expectations – to increase productivity, strengthen workforce stability and create legends…one employee at a time.  It is critical for all organizations to maximize talent recruitment, development and retention efforts. Successful workforce transformations are built upon a solid foundation of strong leadership, teamwork and employee engagement.

High turnover leads to growing costs in training and recruitment, as well as loss of productivity.  A dynamic organization fuels innovation, values training, respects employees, and connects and inspires everyone.  A dynamic organization proactively embraces evolving workforce trends – new technology models, remote workers, unique work styles, social media and cultural and generational diversity.  A dynamic organization aligns their talent with their strategies to engage and motivate employees, foster strong relationships, generate energy and build mutual trust.
