The Untapped Advantage of Organizational Health
Presented By Michael Lorsch, Principal Consultant, The Table Group
Addressing the model in Patrick Lencioni’s book, The Advantage, Michael makes the overwhelming case that organizational health “will surpass all other disciplines in business as the greatest opportunity for improvement and competitive advantage.” While too many leaders are still limiting their search for a competitive advantage to conventional and largely exhausted areas like marketing, strategy and technology, Michael asserts there is an untapped gold mine sitting right beneath them. Instead of trying to become smarter, he asserts that leaders and organizations need to shift their focus to becoming healthier, allowing them to tap into the more-than-sufficient intelligence and expertise they already have. He will define a healthy organization as one with minimal politics and confusion, high degrees of morale and productivity, and low turnover among good people. Drawing on his experience as a Principal Consultant for Lencioni’s firm The Table Group, he will reveal the four steps to achieving long-term organizational transformation.
Value To Members

- Creating a cohesive leadership team (through application of the Five Dysfunctions model)
- Creating organizational clarity
- Overcommunicating organizational clarity
- Reinforcing organizational clarity with human systems
