A lack of clarity costs companies, educational institutions, government agencies, and nonprofits billions of dollars a year. Beyond the red ink, this lack of clarity also inserts unnecessary risk, creates demotivating workplaces, and causes customers to question whether the organization can deliver value.
These are the slides for the first of 5 webinars based on the content in Karen’s latest book, Clarity First. In this webinar, Karen shares what clarity is and why people and organizations need it. She also shows how pursuing clarity is at the core of Lean management systems, and is both the greatest reason for resistance and the most powerful way to unleash the potential of people and organizations alike.
