The directors role in improving return on energy

This session will show how to access the discretionary effort people choose to deploy when they are fully engaged and enthused in the work that they do. Using insights from some of the world’s leading organisations we will understand what it takes to tap the natural curiosity, competitiveness and desire to win that exists in all of us and how to harness this energy in order to deliver significant strategic results.

The session includes:

Introduction and context setting
Discretionary effort – the ‘Bob’ story – a true story of how one man, doing an everyday job deploying his discretionary effort intelligently made a real difference.
The treadmill effect – a highly interactive, mildly competitive and fun exercise for all the participants to engage in that is designed to demonstrate the power of unleashed discretionary effort and the impact that it has on performance.
The keys to engagement – using the shared experience of the exercise we will tease out the key areas of focus for leader’s intent on improving the productivity of their business.
What kills passion in your organisation? – time to think about and share with fellow participants the habits and rituals that dissipate energy in your business and to settle on one action that can be taken to remove a passion killer.
Summary and close – in this open forum Q&A session I will answer specific questions and where appropriate share examples of how some of our clients have successfully tapped into discretionary effort and directed it to deliver breakthrough results.
