Building the right team can really make or break your year. With only a core few on the team year round, staffing up each season provides both an opportunity and a challenge. We will walk through in detail the steps needed to form a great team. Starting from before they become an employee until they move on to the next stage of their career, each step is critical.
Attracting and selecting team members is no small job as you know. We will walk through the practical steps to make this easier for you. We show you how to not only confirm skills, but assess for culture fit with your team. From tips and templates to maximize today’s technology to attract great people to establishing a consistent selection process we will help start off the season on a great foot.

Venture boss a program to coach train 1 million entrepreneurs by 2026Bryan Cassady
At venture-boss our mission is to help train and coach 1 million young entrepreneurs by 2026.
But for billions of people around the world, Entrepreneurship is just a dream. It is something other people do.
Venture-boss will change this by offering a simple, but powerful, 5-day learning by doing program that can be run in any language, for almost any type of business, online or in-person by thousands of trainers worldwide.
Our business model is inspired by Innovation engineering taught at 26 US universities. And the Founder Institute run in 182 cities. Our program and their programs are based on independent local programs that are easy to scale AND collaboration for continual improvement.
We’ve already taught students as young as 17 from 22 countries. Based on these successes, we have started new programs in Nigeria, Angola, India and Malaysia.
It is difficult it is to identify companies that have scalable business models AND equally important will they be able to execute their business plans. We have been working on this challenge now for over 4 years.In the past, a few interviews and some financial analysis might have been enough. Today, markets are more complex, and businesses are harder to evaluate. To solve this challenge have recently combined over 10 years of research on more than 10,000 companies to create an assessment that objectively measures: 1/. Scalability of the business 2/. And their ability to deliver innovation consistently.
The accuracy of our assessments are very good. Right now, with a 1-hour assessment, we are able to correctly classify businesses by scalability and able to predict just under 80% of their variance of innovation success
You can have the greatest idea in the world, but it you can’t get other people excited about your idea it won’t go far.
A perfect pitch takes time to prepare. yYu'll learn about the 5Ps of any good pitch (problem, promise, proof, profit and passion) and 7 easy ways to make your next pitch better...
Deliverable: A pitch that people will understand and will inspire them to take action
A lot of research has shown that systems are the key to innovation success.
Systems are made up of interrelated components of people and processes with a clearly defined, shared destination or goal.
Systems work best when everyone shares an understanding and commitment to the aim or purpose of the system.
The foundations are clarity and a commitment to learn, and improve.
Great companies have 3 characteristics that set them apart from the rest. These characteristics are:
1. An ability to see and build on strengths
2. A commitment to build innovation eco-systems and
3. A commitment to ongoing action
Deliverables: Simplifying the challenges, structuring the learning process, getting better internally and in your eco-system.
f you’re looking to build bigger and better ideas, you need to get feedback.
To get effective feedback you need to be able to explain your ideas clearly, really listen (listening is not just hearing!), slow down to make sure you are on the right path and most importantly be ready to kill bad ideas.
Deliverable: Do people understand the idea, what do they think of the idea, are we making progress. If there is no good hope of progress, kill the idea
Once you know what you want to do it is time to build ideas that have a chance to deliver on your objectives. Contrary to the belief that the ability to build ideas is limited to a select few, there are tools, techniques that can help any team build better ideas.
Better problem formulation
Effectuation (looking for ideas at home with the resources you have)
Systematic search for stimulus and diversity
Techniques to continue building ideas
With these tools and techniques the process is clear, but clear does not mean easy. Removal of fear and an ongoing action focus is the “secret sauce” that can pull everything together.
Deliverable: New ideas that have a good chance of being on strategy; meaningful and unique
This course covers what is Innovation and why everything needs to start with alignment.
If you don’t know where you’re going... Chances are you won’t get where you want to go.
Alignment is the foundation of effective growth and Innovation. It is about finding what is important to you (MISSION) and matching this with what the market wants (NEEDS) and plan to deliver and extract value. It is also about an honest assessment of who you are. (CULTURE)
Deliverables: After this course you will be able to identify 3-4 True North priorities for your company /division (True north) priorities can be:
1. Changing what you are doing and why
2. Changing how you work to generate or extract more value
3. How to work smarter and / or get your culture supporting your innovation objectives
Based on 4 years of research with over 400 companies - there are companies that succeed and companies that fail. The biggest difference between winners and losers is smart winners make good, even mediocre, ideas great over time.
This lecture introduces the ABCs of Innovation
A = Alignment
B = Build ideas
C = Communicate and Check
S = Learning Systems
And explains why a systematic application of these stages of development can help you build ideas faster while reducing the risks of failure.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else.

What are the 5 most important things that you did today?
Description of the
Actions
6. WHAT WE KNOW…
In business growth projects, the right
mix is:
85% day to day
15% leap projects
Where 50% of the growth comes from
leap projects
Day to day
= Keep Competitive
Leap =
Create Future
8. THE
CHALLENGE
We spend our time fixing what’s wrong.
We have hundreds of priorities.
The right solution is a balance between
strengths and fixing a very limited
number of weaknesses.
9. Instead of focusing on what is
going wrong, companies can
consciously choose to focus more
of their time on what is going right.
We call this a “Bright Spots”
mentality.
10. OUR 4 CORE BELIEFS
1
Bright spots
bring energy,
bright spots are
motivating.
2
No successful
business grows on
it’s weaknesses.
3
When people see
work is being done
on bright spots, they
will be more ready to
fix weak spots.
4
Bright Spots increase
Employee Engagement.
12. EXAMPLE #1
Imagine
coming into a company where
everything is going bad...
A Few People were allowed to work on status
updates
THEY GOT EXCITED AND
CREATED A NEW COMPANY
Podcasting with status updates…
No one listening to the podcasts
but people liked the status updates
14. EXAMPLE #2
The Marketing person
"On our flight from Houston to Las Vegas our customers
are getting hungry. We think that they would appreciate
a chicken salad instead of just peanuts."
The CEO’s reply:
"Will offering a chicken salad on the flight from
Houston to Las Vegas help to make us the
unchallenged low-fare airline? Because if it
doesn't, we're not serving any damn chicken
salad."
16. Jerry Sternin - Save the Children
To fight severe malnutrition in
rural communities of Vietnam.
Tired of “do-gooder” missions
the Vietnamese foreign
minister, gave him just six
months to make a difference…
EXAMPLE #3
18. Vietnamese Mothers Love Their Kids...
You tell them they’re doing something
wrong...
The response you will get:
"I am doing the best I can"
"You don’t understand"
WHEN
You tell them they’re doing something
right...
The response you will get:
"Really?"
" How can I do more? "
WHEN
19. When people see work is being done
on Bright Spots, they will be more
ready to fix weak spots.
20. EXAMPLE #4
Why it is listed as always one of the best places to work?
GOOGLE - EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

MANAGERIAL THINKING (causal)
Accumulate means necessary to achieve a
pre-determined goal.
THEN ACCUMULATE MEANS
ENTREPRENEURAL THINKING (effectual)
Imagine many possible new ends using a given
set of means.
THEN IMAGINE ENDS

29. Steve Jobs
As CEO he built more market value
than any other CEO
He is perhaps also the weakest
CEO ever in many areas
What he did, he did, by building on
his “Bright Spots’”
31. STEP #1 FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU ARE
• Slow down before you speed up
• Analyze your strengths and weaknesses
• Ask ‘what is my company really good at ?’
A study by Economist intelligence Unit
312 companies:
Companies that paused at strategic
moments had
40% HIGHER SALES
52% HIGHER PROFITS
32. What would you say first ?
Innovation Readiness Scores
Try the “Appreciations method...”
90% of managers would start the talk about customer focus…
Try instead “The Appreciations Method”
Developed by Jay O’Callahan world leading story telling trainer…
Step #1 Everyone says one positive thing first
Step #2 Then talk and appreciate the positives
Step #3 See if that is enough
Then (if you really need to) go into the negatives
33. “The first step
to improving anything,
is to know
where you are currently at.”
Jerry Bruckner
34. STEP #2 UNDERSTAND HOW YOU GOT THERE
• Why are you good at what you’re good at?
• Find out the ‘root cause’
90% of Leaders think a good strategy
has an impact on business success,
but barely 25% of them have a strategy
Strategy starts with understanding
35. 5 Whys
#1 Why are trains in Geneva always on time
Because they never leave late (they have time to arrive on time)
#2 Why do they never leave late
Because they value punctuality more than speed
#3 Why do they value punctuality more than speed
Because the Swiss would rather know they will arrive in 32 minutes than
sometimes arrive in 26 or 45 minutes
#4 Why are they willing to accept longer travel times
They sell, people expect and employees deliver reliability instead of
speed
Root Cause : Expectations drive delivery
37. STEP #3 DECIDE WHERE YOU WANT TO GO
• Clear decisions about what you want and what you don’t want
• Why it is important
• Some guidance on how to get there
Only 55% of the middle managers can
name even one of their company’s top
five priorities
38. “Wendy’s Mission is to deliver superior quality
products and services for our customers and
communities through leadership, innovation and

39. SETTING COMMANDERS INTENT
HOW DO YOU
KNOW YOU GOT
IT RIGHT?
1. Find a ‘purpose’ (the story) for the organization
2. What do you want
3. What don’t you want
YOUR TEAMS WILL
KNOW WHAT TO DO
WITHOUT ASKING
42. “Wendy’s Mission is to deliver
superior quality products and
services for our customers
and communities through

43. STEP #4 MOVE FROM TALK TO EXECUTION
• Build a sense of urgency
• Set deadlines and make decisions
• Eliminate gap between talk and execution
“Strategy without execution
is hallucination!”
Mike Roach, the CEO of CGI
45. STEP #5 KEEP ON DOING IT!
• Follow up on ‘Key Objectives’
• Set weekly targets
• Being consistent and make sure everyone else is consistent too
Only 16% of top leaders claim
they can keep their company on
track in executing its strategy

50. IF I DO THIS THIS WILL HAPPEN
Say positive things as often as negative things People will feel more appreciated, more motivated
and achieve more
Discover the strengths of individuals You’ll have people doing what they do best
Remove a lot of the negative feedback Employee motivation will increase
If you can show a «Bright Spot» focus People will be more ready to fix weak spots.
Go forward deliberately, step by step And you will be able to make big things happen
Be more positive And you will have more fun at work
56. Your goal
Using just bright spots, put
together a briefing for work
to do over 1-month to
improve on time reliability
(no fixing issues)
57. HOW ARE THINGS GOING TODAY…
Areas for improvement

people are already doing things differently
and better. To create lasting change, find
these areas of positive deviance and fan the
flames.”

65. Show me the numbers
Positive feedback delivers more
Samples positive:
“I agree with that,” for instance, or
“That’s a terrific idea”
Negative comments:
“I don’t agree with you”
“We shouldn’t even consider doing
that”
