08:00 AM Registration and Breakfast

08:30 AM Program Welcome

Sam James, Associate Director, Executive Education, Robert

H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland, College Park

09:15 AM Influencing Others for Strategic Success

How does your organization make sure its strategic plan is exe-cuted? Find out how to turn a new strategy into organizational action and use a systemic approach to achieve desired results. Together we will explore the leadership challenge of executing new strategic direction and will identify the organizational ele-ments that must be aligned to support execution. You will dis-cover how to drive engagement by aligning three key organiza-tional elements.

Dr. Neta Moye, Clinical Professor of Management, Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland, College Park

10:45 AM Blindsided: Uncovering, Understanding and Managing Bias

Our first goal will be to explore the nature and types of biases that affect behaviors and decision making at both individual and group levels. By understanding the biological limitations in our mental processing capabilities and how our brains attempt to compensate, we can better recognize the mechanics of faulty decisions and interaction styles. This then sets the stage for pur-suing our second goal, which is to develop strategies to help minimize the potentially negative impact of bias on us both in-dividually and as organizations.
