How to Map and Execute a Strategy -
Richard McKnight www.linkedin.com/in/richardmcknight -- McKnight Kaney, LLC 
Thousands of books have been written about strategic planning and for good reason: most executives find the subject mysterious, difficult, even baffling. In this session, the presenter will demystify strategy and will introduce participants to the most useful planning tool for strategists to come along in decades: strategy maps.  Developed originally by the originators of The Balanced Scorecard, the presenter has taken this tool farther and will equip you to use it to achieve your own strategic objectives. This session will be 20% lecture, 80% workshop. Learn what an “executable” strategy is and begin creating one in this highly interactive session.

Using Individual Development Plans as Core Component in Manager Development: Richard B. Marcus, Ph.D. www.linkedin.com/in/richardbmarcus and Jason Rappoport, Senior Director, PMO -- Over the past 20 years a variety of best practices have emerged for developing managerial talent in organizations. Central to these is the Individual Development Plan. (IDP). This session will provide an overview of considerations required when executing a personally relevant IDP (for yourself or others). We will begin by reviewing context, components (including assessment tools) process and deliverables commonly used in any effective IDP process. Then we will switch to more “hands on” with participants going through an interactive table exercise that allows them to “take stock” of their personal managerial strengths and weakness, creating a “draft” IDP designed that addresses recognized development gaps.  

Jason Rappoport, Senior Director, PMO at Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., will be joining Richard as Co-facilitator for this seminar on 2/20. Jason is working with Richard in designing his Individual Development Plan (IDP) as part of a company sponsored development program. He will share learnings and insights resulting from his assessment, 360 and IDP. Design.
