Managers are faced with an increasing array of tools, technologies, and processes--from lean production methods to virtual communication systems--all with documented benefits. In an effort to boost capability, companies often invest significant time and money in efforts to incorporate these innovations in their day-to-day operations. Nonetheless, such efforts often fail to produce significant improvements in performance. Why?

Join MIT Sloan Professor Nelson Repenning for a complimentary webinar on December 12th to learn why useful improvement tools and processes so often go unused.

Through real-world examples and proven research,webinar participants will learn how to:

  • Determine the factors that support or inhibit internally-focused change
  • Balance capability improvements against performance
  • Increase the adoption of these improvement methods in the workplace
  • Escape productivity decline--the "capability trap"
  • Identify the signs and consequences of dispositional biases in the workplace
    (blaming problems on people rather than the systems)
  • Recognize when throughput comes at the expense of learning

Who should attend:

  • Executives, senior managers, and leaders from every sector
  • Senior leaders focused on improvements for the benefit of the entire organization
  • Directors of technology, design, process engineering, and product/service development
  • Managers of innovation and engineering

The one hour webinar will be followed immediately by a live Q&A session on social media with Professor Repenning.
