More than 130 registrants from 36 states and 23 corporate partner organizations participated in the 2017 Institute on Management and Leadership in Atlanta in mid-October. Participants learned about and shared best practices on pacing the velocity of change effectively. In particular, the Institute addressed this critical issue from multiple lenses: strategy, technology, human capital and leadership. NASCA released two case studies developed by our partners at Leadership for a Networked World at Harvard University to support this discussion.

Survey Says: Which portion of the Institute content did you find to be the most useful, and why? |
|
|
"I thoroughly enjoyed the expert presentations providing exposure to private sector advancements and strategy."
"The presentation by Rory & David. They were theoretical and practical. They also were grounded in real life business problems. The instructors seemed to be connected not only to the theory, but to the practical application to challenges and problems."
"I appreciate the case studies as they give me concrete solutions to incorporate. But I really appreciate the aspirational, educational speakers because they make me think."
"Case studies- great examples with evidence to support decision making"
"The connection meetings - a good opportunity to meet key leaders in a more intimate setting."
