About the Jobs Maximizer Program For Providers
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS
These are two and a half hour workshops, called Learning Labs. Each workshop, conducted via Zoom, includes interactive breakout sessions where each organization can go deeper on the topic.
Building Trust with your Stakeholders
Whether you are a business, nonprofit, or any organization, building trust among your stakeholders is critical to advancing your strategic agenda. The Accelerating Trust Action Plan tool created by Bpeace sequences the basic steps to building a culture of trust. Start with articulating your organization’s core values, establishing buy-in, and taking steps to operationalize values with your team. Bpeace often discusses the concept of “deposits” and “withdrawals” in building trust. This same tool can be used to sequencing the roll-out of an organization’s mission.
Data Driven Decision Making
In this workshop Bpeace shares its approach to data-driven decision making. You will gain guidance in how to incorporate data into your decision-making; consider the relations between the data and the trends arising; and develop a data-based decision-making culture. Engage in a discussion guided by PwC on how leaders believe data is the new oil, i.e., the world’s most valuable resource.
Best Practices for Remote Advisory
Virtual service delivery, whether stand alone or paired with in person, is a new reality for most service provider organizations. In this workshop you will learn how to establish and improve virtual services. Learn from experts on how to make your service delivery engaging and effective. Bpeace will share its proven methodologies for remote advisory and the reaction by and impact on its client businesses.
Developing Objectives and Key Results (OKRs)
Objectives define where you want to go. They are short and inspirational. Key Results are the deliverables that you define for each objective so that you can measure your progress toward achieving that goal. In this workshop, improve your ability to set and achieve organizational goals. Using the OKR tool, define your OKRs to connect your company, team, and personal objectives to achieve measurable results, allowing all employees to work together in one unified direction.
