American Society for Training &
Development - Southern CT chapter meeting (ASTD-SCC)
Monday, Sept. 22, 2014, 5:45-8:00 PM
Speaker: Ron Ashkenas, Schaffer
Consulting|
Over the past decade globalization, technology, regulations
and new business models have dramatically increased the complexity of many
organizations. Faced with too many choices, processes, and facts, managers often
feel that they are working longer hours but getting less and less done.
Unfortunately, a large portion of the complexity that managers must navigate
is self-generated.
In this session, Ron Ashkenas will discuss some of the common
ways that we create unnecessary complexity in organizations and what we can
do about it.
Attendees will learn how to:
·
Understand the four main types of unnecessary complexity in
organizations;
·
Gain self-insight into ways that we and our colleagues
unintentionally create complexity;
·
Identify ways to begin addressing complexity in our
organization or with our clients.
Ron Ashkenas is a senior partner with Schaffer Consulting in
Stamford, CT and an internationally recognized consultant, executive coach,
and speaker on organizational transformation, post-merger integration and
simplification. Ron is an Executive in Residence at the Haas School of
Business at UC Berkeley and the author of Simply Effective: How to Cut
Through Complexity in Your Organization and Get Things Done (Harvard Press,
2010)
