Embracing simplicity as an operational mindset will unleash the power of people and create a sustainable competitive advantage. But building a culture of simplicity requires advocates and leaders who send a message that simplicity is a strategic priority and that it’s OK to challenge the status quo. In this presentation, Lisa Bodell delivers real-world insights leaders can use to inspire their teams, ignite disruptive thinking, build speed and agility, and turn problems into possibilities. With energy, humor, and revealing interactive exercises, Lisa shows how simplicity is the catalyst that accelerates innovation, collaboration, engagement, and growth. Building simplicity into organizational DNA creates a sustainable competitive advantage because it’s the absolute foundation of resilience in the face of never-ending change.
“We’ve got to give people permission to challenge how they work. People know what’s driving them crazy. Simplification changes everything and unleashes them to focus on transformative work.”
You will learn:
– Why culture comes down to the work people do every day. If you get the work right, you get the culture right.
– How to make it normal to challenge the norm, creating space for change and true innovation to happen.
– Drive an agenda that makes simplification a seamless part of your operating system; placing equal importance on eliminating work as adding it.
– When people aren’t drowning in the work of doing work there’s more engagement, less frustration, increased well-being, and improved retention.
– Set the groundwork for enduring change and improved problem-solving by reducing stress and giving teams the space to think and do the “work of work,” not just busy work.
