The Cultural Map of the Business Environment
John King, President, JLS Consulting
July 11, 9:45 am - 10:45 am
Strategy is one of the three prime concerns of a leader, and, if strategy fails, the other two don't matter. Leaders rise and fall on the success of their strategy.
Unfortunately for most leaders, 70% of all business strategies fail. This is not good.
Generally, strategies don't fail because the leader is stupid, but rather, because the leader is blind. What most leaders are blind to is: Culture eats Strategy for breakfast every day. Therefore, the leader who is interested in implementing successful strategies, is the leader who understands corporate culture.
This session will be an executive overview of corporate culture from both a linguistic and a structural point of view. We will examine the principles that are the hallmark of every level of corporate culture, and conduct an interactive dialogue that analyzes, diagnoses, and suggests effective solutions to create high performing cultures. We will see that great leaders identify whom they are working with by the manner in which they cluster, and we will see that while people may talk a big game, cultural structure never lies.
This session promises to be lively, informative and thought provoking.
Marketplace Success: Building Personal Eminence and Strengthening Personal Brand
Tracie Kambies, Senior Manager, Deloitte Consulting
Mallika Govindan, Senior Manager, Deloitte Consulting
July 11, 9:45 am - 10:45 am
Successful careers are built from personal brands and effective networking. At Deloitte, our Women's Initiative has helped consultants achieve a greater degree of success through tools and techniques that build eminence within the firm and externally. Depending on where we are in our careers we sometimes have to re-evaluate who to build that strategic relationship with or what we want to be known for. This session will look at how to build your personal brand and how to strengthen your internal and external network. It will address key questions such as: Do you know who is on your personal 'Board of Directors'? Do you know what your PR profile looks like? Do you know how strong your relationship Balance Sheet is? What are your real assets and liabilities from a career growth perspective? We will try a few Deloitte techniques in this hands-on session.
