Jim Cardwell’s Educational Webinar – Dialogs
Tuesday, December 15^th at 1:30 EST

True competitive advantage comes not from new delivery channels, an updated strategy, or internal processes, but from human talent—from ordinary people achieving extraordinary results.

Dialogs add the human element to organization, department, project and individual performance.  They make business more people-centric than document-centric. Dialogs create a conversation that consistently reinforces your strategic focus and targets; builds team consensus on business priorities and trade-offs; celebrates successes and problem-solves shortfalls; and provides a moment of truth vis-à-vis individual accountability and team performance.

The purpose of this Educational Webinar is to delve deeper into the real objectives of Dialogs—and how to optimize them.  Click here to register for this webinar.
