Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to.
- Richard Branson
Careers Stall
• By 2022, nearly 25% of people 70 to 74 will be working — double the figure
in 1992.
• Limited upward mobility has younger workers migrate to startup and
midmarket organizations to reignite their careers.
• Four generations of workers in the workplace requires managers to spend
more time dealing with limited value activities.
• Shortage of new technology skills requires more agile compensation and
employee development plans.
Millennials Look for New Career Opportunities
• Two in three Millennials expect to leave their jobs by 2020.
• Nine in ten (87 percent) believe that “the success of a business should be measured
in terms of more than just its financial performance.”
• Only 16 percent of Millennials see themselves with their current employers a decade
from now.
- The 2016 Deloitte Millennial Survey
Winning Over the Next Generation of Leaders
The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the
team.
- Phil Jackson
Teams Play an Increasing Role in Achieving Results
• Fifty-four percent of respondents indicated that they spend up to 30% of their day
in a team setting.
• Another 34% spend as much as 50% of their time working in a team setting.
• Yet 42% responded that they rarely, if ever, receive any training to get their teams
off to the right start.
• Only 3% of respondents admitted to a lack of confidence in their ability to lead a
team—despite the obvious lack of training on the part of their organizations.
- Ken Blanchard Companies

Digital Transformation Becomes Reality
• Are you leveraging technologies to enhance your customers' experience?
• How quickly can your organization adapt, change, and innovate?
• Is your organization ready to embrace a remote workforce?
• Does digital transformation align with your business strategies?
• How does the Internet of Things change your organization?
Silicon Valley is coming and if banks don’t up their game, then tech companies will take over
the industry’s business.
There are hundreds of startups with a lot of brains and money working on various
alternatives to traditional banking.
- Jamie Dimon, CEO, J.P. Morgan
Growing Your Business with Advanced
Analytics and Cognitive Technologies
• How much do you know about your key customers, partners, and
competitors?
• Are you able to change the way you work with customers in your markets by
embracing advanced analytics?
• How is cognitive computing going to change how you grow, manage, and
lead your business?
• How will you decide where to invest your time and resources for optimal
results?
Great discoveries and achievements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds.
- Alexander Graham Bell
Global Competition Drives You Out of Key
Markets
• How much do you know about your internal cost structures?
• Do you know which customers are your best, and why?
• How do you decide where to invest your capital to get a stronger ROI?
• Do your financial systems help you identify risk as well as potential
opportunities?
In today’s era of volatility, there is no other way but to re-invent. The only sustainable
advantage you can have over others is agility, that’s it. Because nothing else is sustainable,
everything else you create, somebody else will replicate.
- Jeff Bezos
Increasing Regulation, Transparency, and
Compliance Impact Your Business
• Is your business able to grow in an age of increasing government regulation?
• How much does it cost your organization to become more transparent with
customers and government agencies?

choose to compete in?
