041. Innovation Best Practices: Making the Leap Forward for a Distributor
Instructor: J. Michael Marks
Level of Complexity: Intermediate
1:00 PM - 4:30 PM
Many distributors have decided it is time to get ahead of all the increasing industry disruptions. Those that have already started their change process often get stuck in pilot purgatory. This workshop will cover the diagnostics a distributor can use to get the change sequence right, so each investment produces returns to fund the next steps. It will explore the science and discipline of making a business model transition providing an overview of the six interconnected disciplines: capital structure, value propositions, go-to-market models, organizational structure (roles and incentives), technology and tactics, and management cadence rhythms. Once you understand the diagnostic tools, Change Management is next. Each diagnostic area will include a list of research links for participants to acquire additional insights.

Rapid Teamwork
Sean Glaze
In modern organizations, there seems to be a revolving door of new projects and new teammates. The challenge is seldom about strategy. Leaders struggle because they don’t have a process for bringing diverse individuals together as a collaborative team.
Rapid Teamwork tells the story of Greg Sharpe, a manager whose team has been underachieving and struggling with a few issues.
What he and his executive team experience during an unusual rafting retreat is a lesson on how to become a more productive team quickly – creating a more unified workforce.
