ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION TOPICS

We use roundtable discussions to cover general company news updates and topics that haven't made it onto the formal agenda. Often, roundtable time provides some of the greatest value of our meetings. Among the informal topics during this meeting's roundtables, we'll discuss:

  • Debriefing and lessons learned from yesterday's Designing for Focus workshop (All)
  • Your lessons learned through ERP implementations (Judy Issokson, Agilent)
  • Ideas for sustaining virtual teams (Judy Issokson, Agilent)
  • Agilent's shift to a Customer First culture - tangible and intangible change elements (Judy Issokson, Agilent)
  • The shoemaker's children: staff development in our own shops (Marilyn Martin, WW Grainger)
  • Metrics for contextual learning (learning via performance support, knowledge management, action learning, etc.) (Marilyn Martin, WW Grainger)
  • Aftermath of September 11th: How have we changed, and how might we change, the conduct of our businesses? (Jonathan Ward, Capital One).
