keeping your organization heading in the right direction and
accelerating performance from the bottom to the top," said

process and business improvement. Our speakers, experts in
their fields, will show how an organization can keep moving
ahead and stepping up its performance through a number of
approaches and techniques."
Conference keynote speaker Greg Smith is recognized as a

that manage change in the workplace, develop leaders and
increase innovation. Based on proven concepts, conference
participants will be able to develop a plan to immediately
generate measurable, bottom-line performance improvement
results and be able to adapt to changing trends in today's
challenging work environment.
Other speakers include

situations very often perceived to be problems are actually
unrecognized solutions or new opportunities. Kevin King, a

In addition, the conference will offer management
