Are you too busy working to “Move the Needle”? Would you
rather “Change the Scale” and evolve to the next level of Enterprise
Optimization? That is right, a real “Step Improvement”!
Achieve Almost Infinite ROI — this keynote will explain that
through the collaboration of stakeholders, coupled with your
enterprise-based technology, business processes and techniques
learned a decade ago, you can drive innovation, improve internal
cost metrics, and increase customer services and satisfaction.
Transform from an Enterprise View to an Integrated Enterprise,
and improve your STO performance immediately.

In the book “Crucial Conversations,” the authors focus on
developing relationships and then using communication
to grow and refine these relationships. This presentation
will examine six steps necessary to have “Crucial
Conversations” for STO’s. It will help technically-focused
individuals to be persuasive, not abrasive. It will
conclude with a call-to-action, challenging the
attendees to apply the information gleaned from their
conference and use it to have “Crucial Conversations”
before, during, and after their next STO.
