Working at the cold face with a diverse range of industries from off-shore oil rigs to pharmaceutical companies, in different countries and different cultures around the world, there’s not one problem that relates to the execution of strategy plans that Martin West and Mark Bragg haven’t seen.
In their practical and no-fuss “key-nop”TM (a fast-paced blend of keynote and workshop), the two introduce the simple but powerful secret of “transparency” — a simple way to gain buy-in from the team and speed up closing the execution gap.
“The more transparent you can make things, the greater the accountability that comes with it,” says West. “Each person should know exactly what’s required of them and that should be visible. If you haven’t made it clear what they’re responsible for, then it’s very hard for them to be held accountable.”
The key tool to introducing this visibility is through utilization of collaboration and harnessing the power of social media concepts - just like Facebook or Twitter, it is a way for each member of the team to track the progress of every other member. This allows front-liners to quickly share great ideas and new methodologies while CEOs have immediate access to what is working with a particular strategy at any given time. This event will show you the real life answer to “how useful can social media be to my company.”

If the best laid plans are not executing in your company, this is a Knowledge Workout you won’t want to miss.
What Will You Get Out of This Workout?
SIMPLICITY: You will learn that “Simple beat Complex”. The more difficult a plan is to read, the more difficult it will be to communicate. If it’s difficult to communicate, it’s less likely to be done.
BLACK & WHITE: You will learn to be black and white around the three central questions of how you measure success, what you are going to focus on, and how you are going to proceed.
TRANSPARENCY: You will learn to be visible and transparent about what each person in your team is responsible for doing, to achieve a greater sense of accountability.
THE MOMENT OF TRUTH: In the moment of truth, when the results hit the table, you will learn the execution techniques that come naturally to only a select few.
THE ASSET: You will be introduced to a new web-based platform that will foster the untapped intelligence of your team, while gathering immediate intel and showing 24/7 exactly how your strategy plan is progressing.
