Description

Take Your Business to the Next Level! 

Join us for the Work Shop Your Business Series—focused, hands-on workshops designed to tackle real business challenges and deliver practical solutions. Each 2-hour session is presented by local Chamber Member experts.

📅 What’s in Store?
Are your team members at times resistant to change?  Do you see two people doing the same thing, just differently?  Is communication a problem?  This discussion presents concepts around developing a Culture of Continuous Improvement, which addresses the challenges that every organization experiences on a daily basis.  The Culture of Continuous Improvement is built on four areas of improvement:

  • Strategic Alignment
  • Igniting innovation and accepting change
  • Developing and empowering people
  • Problem solving through establishing processes

Your customers can see the products and services you provide, they can even see how they are delivered if they are delivered well, but they don't see the culture that supports those results and the leaders that coach their employees and empower them to solve problems on a day to day basis.  We will present these principles and have conversations around how they can be realized in your organization.
