UPCOMING MEETING
Wednesday, January 16, 2019
Opening Discussion Topic:
Creating a More Power-full Company Culture
ABL Technology Featured Presenter Chris Dyer recently was named a best-selling author by Amazon, shortly after his book, The Power of Company Culture, hit the “shelves.” After years of research and hundreds of interviews with industry leaders on his weekly TalentTalk radio show, Chris has distilled what it takes to develop a company culture that:
- Engages and retains workers,
- Improves productivity & performance,
- Enhances company reputation & profits.
During our initial Member Go-Round, we’ll discuss which of Chris’s “7 Pillars of Company Culture” you’ve had the greatest success with, in shaping (or reshaping) your company’s culture. We’ll also look to hear your takeaways from any of the Presentations, Events, and/or Receptions you attended during “JP Morgan Conference Week.”
Go-Round Discussion of Member Issues: During this time, each Member is given an opportunity to share an “issue” with the Group in order to receive knowledgeable and confidential feedback on how best to tackle that issue. Issues often center around: management/planning concerns, how to best respond to new industry trends, fleshing out a new strategy, what were the best practices used (or hazards) from fellow Members who have dealt with a similar issue. In order to get the most value from each session, we encourage our Members to bring an issue for discussion to each meeting.
Our Featured Guest Member, Chris Dyer, is the Founder and CEO of PeopleG2. Listed among the Inc. 5000 fastest growing companies in the U.S., and a Top Place to Work, PeopleG2 is a recognized authority on the human capital intelligence process and best practices for background checks. A certified SCRUM master, he has also mastered time management, which allows him to speak at conferences around the world, record and play guitar with his band, and run two book clubs for senior-level and HR professionals.
