There are always ways to improve your organization. Even when limited resources make traditional forms of growth – additional staff, larger budgets and more programs – seem impossible, you can find ways to increase your organization’s mission achievement. But what are the opportunities for growth and how can you determine which you should focus on? Edward Hess, an expert on high-performance organizations, innovation and strategy, will explore your questions about “smart” growth – continually improving the value you provide to your audience and stakeholders.
Professor Hess is a Professor of Business Administration and Batten Executive-in-Residence at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia where he conducts research on the challenges of managing growth and building enduring organizations. In advance of the Q&A session, your team will watch a recording of Professor Hess discussing the challenges of traditional growth, different types of “smart” growth and growth as a learning process. You’ll use the recording as a launching point so you can spend the entire live discussion exploring your questions.
