Interactive Seminars and Networking Events

Many organizations spend vast portions of their Human Capital Development budgets on internal networking events with few, if any, specified business objectives and without means to measure the impact of the networking on business results. Integrate OD designs interactive seminars and networking events with clarity on desired outcomes. To facilitate cross-functional relationships, merge knowledge pools, and engage participants in creatively exploring new possibilities for their organization, the contents of our seminars and networking events might include:

• Competitions between cross-functional teams featuring challenges such as developing a new product using resources from represented functions, creating a client portfolio using services from represented functions, or pitching a new business idea to an untapped market segment.
• Innovation workshops where participants build on each other's ideas for specific organizational improvements
• Role exchange simulations where new perspectives on functions and relationships can be gathered

In addition, we understand that learning for skill building and performance improvement is a human activity that requires motivation, inspiration, and significance to the learner to produce lasting results. We therefore make our efforts engaging and different from mainstream development offerings, and targeted to the roles and levels within the client team.

We create social and professional activities that tie back into possibilities for the organization, and actively facilitate them to ensure that new connections are made, new knowledge is documented, and participants are assigned accountability for acting on new relationships and ideas that arise for the benefit of the organization.
