Online Webinar  – Recorded
Duration: 1 hour webinar Credits: 1 PDU Category A – $15 USD PDU
Presented by: Solutions Cube Group (REP 2451)

This webinar is the second in a 3 part series series on Collaboration by Solutions Cube.  Although this module is a part of the series – each module in the series can be taken individually.

Bringing project stakeholders together in collaborative meetings is an effective way to quickly make decisions and complete project work with a high degree of alignment and buy-in.

Use of a brainstorming activity is a high energy and powerful way to uncover hundreds of ideas during meetings. However, there is more to brainstorming than just gathering a list of ideas which can often be misinterpreted or dismissed, after the energy of the meeting subsides.

Understanding what those rapidly collected ideas really meant to the stakeholders, before the meaning is forgotten, is where the real value and power of brainstorming is leveraged.

In this 1 hour live in-depth Webinar participants learn how to:

  • Structure brainstorming sessions to collect ideas in collaborative meetings
  • Focus ideas captured during brainstorming to increase relevance to the meeting objective
  • Use questioning techniques to guide brainstorming and improve brainstorm quality
  • Use questioning techniques to drive clarity and increase buy in of brainstormed ideas
  • How to avoid common mistakes which sabotage a brainstorm activity

Solutions Cube Group’s live Webinars address many relevant project issues. Join us for this 1 hour in depth presentation to learn how to increase the value and effectiveness of brainstorming while avoiding the common pitfalls which sabotage the best intentions of any brainstorming effort.

Real learning comes not from experiential activities but from the debriefing discussions that follows the activity.

In the hands of a skilled facilitator, the experiential activity is just an excuse for powerful debriefing.

In this interactive webinar, Thiagi will explore the why, when, and how of debriefing.

You will learn about the games after the game that counteracts the anticlimactic feeling that frequently accompanies a debriefing discussion.

Thiagi (Sivasailam Thiagarajan, Ph.D.), (LinkedIn profile) Resident Mad Scientist at the Thiagi Group. The Thiagi Group is an organization with the mission of helping people improve their performance effectively and enjoyably.

According to recent HCI research, 67% of HR practitioners are concerned about low engagement. And rightly so—a recent Gallup poll suggests that disengaged workers cost US businesses up to $350 billion per year in lost productivity.

Employee engagement has two sides—the internal characteristics that define a high performer, and the environment required for that high performer to truly flourish.

Simply stated, engaged talented people in an environment where they are empowered to succeed will propel an organization towards long term growth.

Join this webcast to see how leaders can craft recruitment strategies that close talent gaps, maximize talent that already exists in the organization, and lead new recruits and veteran employees towards a high performance culture.

You will learn:

  • How to identify strong talent internally and strategies for re-engaging them
  • Tactics for recruiting outstanding talent… and retaining them
  • How your recruiting efforts contribute to creating a high performance environment and strong company culture
