There are 3 primary reasons why busin esses fail with their Social Media efforts: \;\n \;\n1. The busine ss has a siloed organizational structure. Social media can often blur th e lines between customer service\, sales\, marketing and even R&\;D. Be open to change. \;\n \;\n2. The business leaders think social m edia is nothing more than another marketing tactic. But \;\nthis appr oach leads to pushy selling and inconsistent messaging and can turn off more business in the long-term. These new tools require a different mind set than traditional marketing. \;\n \;\n3. The business leader mi stakenly assumes that because many of the social channels are free that they are easy to use and so jump in without a strategy. After this doesn ’t work\, they conclude that social simply doesn’t work. The problem\, h owever\, was with the message\, not the medium. \;\n \;\nPut YOUR Business in the Winning 10% \;\n \;\nJoin Cinta Media Group for a free training to help your business thrive in the modern marketplace. Yo u will walk away with clear actionable steps you can take.

During this course you will “le arn to see” waste in any process\, enabling you to identify opportunitie s for improving speed\, quality\, cost\, innovation\, employee engagemen t\, and customer satisfaction. \;\n \;\nLean operates across three levels of an organization. \;\n \;\n * At the individual level \, Lean enables people to do their daily work\, while improving how they do this work\, always with a keen focus on what their customers want.&# 13\;\n * At the management systems level\, Lean focuses on cross-func tional activity\, breaking down organizational silos\, balancing demand and workload so processes flow smoothly. \;\n * At the executive l evel\, Lean connects organization strategy with management systems and d aily improvement activities\, ensuring that everyone in the organization is communicating clearly and focusing on process improvements that yiel d the greatest benefit to the organization. \;\n \;\nYou’ll return to your organization with: \;\n \;\n * Hands-on experience wit h fundamental Lean tools and techniques that drive process improvement&# 13\;\n * The understanding needed to begin investigating the flow of work and information within your organization\, identifying opportunitie s to increase value and reduce waste \;\n * A clear comprehension of the value Lean offers in terms of speed\, quality\, cost\, innovation \, employee engagement and customer satisfaction\, and an ability to art iculate that value within the context of your own organization. \;\n& #13\;\n \;\nMore info: http://oregontrainingnetwork.com/lean-for-serv ice/ \;\n\n\nTags: lean\, strategy\, business strategy\, management\n \nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250460528 URL:http://oregontrainingnetwork.com/lean-for-service/ SUMMARY:Lean for Service LOCATION:PSU Professional Development Center: 1515 SW 5th\, 1050\, Portla nd OR 97201 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110902T044323Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110914T201500 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110914T173000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110902T044323Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110913T164156Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250461270 DESCRIPTION:The Balanced Scorecard and Strategy Map (BalSC-StratMap) comb ination is an increasingly popular strategic toolset that all OD practit ioners should become familiar with. Not only is the BalSC-StratMap a pow erful tool for turning strategies into executable realities\, it is also liable to arrive in the OD practitioner's environment without warning ( often by way of the CEO or a board member learning about it at a seminar and becoming enthusiastic). The prepared OD professional will be able t o help make the BalSC-StratMap a success. Without significant OD assista nce\, BalSC-StratMap initiatives may flounder and fail. \;\n \;\nJ ust as significantly\, BalSC-StratMap approaches can directly assist in boosting individual productivity by providing three of the Five Precondi tions of Top Performance. In this program\, Tom Cox will elaborate on th is relationship and lead us in creating a BalSC-StratMap for Oregon ODN. As a result of the session\, participants will have an experience-based perspective on BalSC-StratMap and how it affects both organizational an d individual performance. Multiple samples will be shared\, along with t emplates and a bibliography of sources. \;\n \;\nCost: \;\nFre e to current members in good standing of ODN\, ASTD-Cascadia\, PHRMA and PMI. \;\nThe cost for non-members is $10. The $10 fee can be used to offset the annual membership investment of $75.00 if paid at the progra m. \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \;\n \;\nTom Cox is a successf ul consultant\, author and speaker. He has worked in industries ranging from retail to wholesale to manufacturing to government to business serv ices -- for firms including IBM\, Oracle\, Tektronix\, ODOT\, Intel\, Re gence Blue Cross\, Standard Insurance\, OHSU and dozens of others. \; \n \;\nTom is the author of one book\, countless articles\, and he co -authored the chapter on Metrics and Performance Improvement for a textb ook on Medical Trauma Care. A frequent writer\, his column runs twice a month in Oregon Business Magazine’s online edition. \;\n \;\nA gra duate of the University of Chicago\, Tom earned his four-year degree in psychology in just three years\, with honors.

As businesses struggle to come to grips with the dat a tsunami\, it is even more critical to focus on data as an asset that d irectly supports business imperatives as other organizational assets do. Organizations across most industries attempt to address data opportunit ies (e.g. Big Data) and data challenges (e.g. data quality) to enhance b usiness unit performance. Unfortunately however\, the results of these efforts frequently fall far below expectations due to haphazard approach es. Overall\, poor organizational data management (OM) capabilities are the root cause of many of these failures. This workshop will cover three lessons as illustrated in examples\, which will help you to establish r ealistic OM plans and expectations\, and help demonstrate the value of s uch actions to both internal and external decision makers. \;\n \; \nAmong others\, you'll walk away with three takeaways: \;\n\n \;\ nThat organizational thinking must change: Value-added data management p ractices must be considered and included as a vital part of your busines s 's strategy. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nWalk before you run with d ata focused initiatives: Understand and implement necessary data managem ent prerequisites as a foundation\, then build upon that foundation. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nThat there are no silver bullets: Tools alon e are not the answer. Specifying business requirements\, business practi ces and data governance are almost always more important. \;\n \;\ n \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker Bio: \;\n \;\nPeter Aiken\, Ph.D. \, is widely acclaimed as one of the top ten data management authorities worldwide.
