  • How to Approach Problems Like a Management Consultant

    Webinar Excerpt

    Professor Patrick Noonan

    Often times, analysts and managers are faced with complex business challenges with instructions to simply “figure it out.” It is not necessarily the challenge that becomes difficult to address, but more the approach and process in order to do so. To properly solve a business problem or challenge, it is important to adopt a clear process - and embrace some guiding principles from experienced consultants.

  • Competing on Social Purpose

    Webinar Excerpt

    Omar Rodriguez-Vila

    As more companies integrate social purpose into their brand promise, sustainability concerns have become paramount for many CEOs. However, the integration of environmental or community benefits into the growth strategies of firms is lacking behind other areas. Some Chief Marketing Officers perceive it as a distraction, or are more concerned with digital transformation than social integration.

  • Building Brain-Friendly Organizations

    Webinar Excerpt

    Professor Rick Gilkey

    Building emotional intelligence is pivotal to becoming an effective leader. Emotional reasoning can even trump IQ. While the correlation between IQ (traditionally measured as verbal-mathematical reasoning and perceptual-motor skills) and leadership is not extremely high, the correlation between emotional intelligence (self-awareness, self-management, empathy and social skills) and leadership effectiveness is extraordinarily high. Dr. Rick Gilkey shares how to learn how to build emotional intelligence as a leader and contribute to and build work environments and cultures that are “brain-friendly,” (i.e., ones that bring out the very best in people).

  • Strategy: Back to the Basics

    Webinar Excerpt

    Professor John Kim

    We use and hear the words ""strategy"" and ""strategic"" in our business lives every day. The words are often overused and misused. What does strategy really mean? In this session, Emory University’s John Kim will provide a ""back to basics"" cheat-sheet approach to the most important concepts on business unit and corporate strategy. Strategy is more important than ever, but let's all agree on what it means.

  • Applying Scientific Methods to Improve Business Strategies

    Webinar Excerpt

    Professor Ryan Hamilton

    The science of human behavior presents business leaders with two major opportunities. The first is incorporating the findings of behavioral science into management, marketing, and strategic planning. The second is to use scientific methods to improve a company’s strategies and tactics. Taking advantage of both of these opportunities requires understanding how scientific theories are developed and tested—and how and when they can best be applied to business problems.

  • When to Use Monetary Incentives to Motivate Employees

    Webinar Excerpt

    Professor Karen Sedatole

    Monetary incentives have gotten a bad rap lately. In a recent New York Times opinion, well-known author Alfie Kohn boldly proclaims “science has confirmed” that monetary rewards amount to “bribes” that don’t work. If that’s true, why do virtually all modern business organizations provide employees monetary incentives for performance? It turns out that the truth about the effectiveness of monetary rewards in business settings is more nuanced than Kohn suggests.

  • Improving Individual and Organizational Decision Making

    Webinar Excerpt

    Professor Steve Walton

    As organizations continue to emphasize evidence-based decision making, there is one arena where many are decidedly not evidence-based and seem to be stuck in an old mental model. This arena is about human performance and decision making. For example, according to a recent study by McKinsey, most senior executives seem to think that sleep is unrelated to performance and decision making. This disconnect persists in spite of the fact that there is burgeoning evidence about the links between human physiology, human performance, and decision making.
