THE PEAK PERFORMANCE CHALLENGE
Jim Steele is truly one of the most charismatic presenters in the business world today. Addressing organizations throughout the
globe, Jim has the proven ability to deliver material that inspires, educates, and entertains. He is fascinated by the nature of peak
performance and what to do to get this level and sustain it. So much so, that he has spent much of the last decade working with
highly successful individuals from business and sport, seeking to understand not just what makes these people tick, but what makes
them tick so much faster, stronger and longer. The question is, How does your individual performance stack up?
TAKE STOCK OF THE NEXT EVOLUTION IN PROCESS STRATEGIES
Brad Power is a researcher in process innovation. His current research is on sustaining attention to process management.

the foremost authority in Asia on Drucker’s work and attempts to relate Drucker’s well known concepts to today’s present uncertain
environment and at PEX Week, to the process industries. Dr. Swaim also expands on these views in his new book that was released
in 2010, The Strategic Drucker: Peter Drucker’s Strategies for Business Growth.

12.20 State of The Industry Address: What’s next for the Process Centric Industry?
The concept of business, quality and process management is constantly evolving. With new emerging approaches, systems and IT, our perception of what a model of complete process excellence includes has shifted in line

Just ask yourself:
• Articulate the difference between process entitlement and process innovation
1. Are you relying on external or internal experts for deployment? • Identify a repeatable method for engaging in process innovation, along with associated tools and techniques
2. Are you using lots of different improvement methodologies that are not deployed simultaneously across the business? • Assess when it’s time to drive continuous improvement and when it’s time to abandon your current processes
3. Do you have functional experts responsible for different parts of implementation? in favor of new approaches
4. Are you struggling to measure the status of deployment across all your sites in real time? • Plan process innovation initiatives and identify the critical success factors involved in implementing them
5. Do you have poor visibility of the organization’s implementation road map, for the next 5 to 6 years? • Simultaneously manage process improvement and process innovation projects that are tied to
6. Do you suffer from frequently changing methodologies, tools and management? strategic priorities
7. Do not have the entire workforce engaged in CI?
Dr. Phil Samuel, Chief Innovation Officer, BMGI
If you have answered yes to 3 or more questions the chances are your CI initiative won’t be sustainable.
This workshop will allow you to not only identify the gaps in your current program but also to help you
to build a more sustainable management framework for continued World Class Results.

Workshop J: Topgrading™: How to hire and coach high performance teams
Ten years ago McKinsey produced their famous paper on “War for Talent” that had organisations sitting up and for the first time wondering how and what they should do. Subsequently Bain’s research followed over a thousand
organizations concluding that share price construction had in the last 10 years changed from being 80% on tangible assets to 80% on intangible assets – that is people! Gallup research was used in the award winning book from
Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman, “First, break all the rules” which stated that managers or leaders that focus on talent hiring and selecting will have the competitive advantage.
However, surveys by the CIPD out earlier this year show that whilst 50% of organisations are undertaking talent management activities only 35% have a formal strategy and only 20% a formal definition. So the question remains,
what are you doing to ensure you organisation is equipped for change by securing and retaining A-grade talent? In this workshop you will have the opportunity to work through a case study and understand the key processes
and tools for Topgrading - a proven methodology for hiring and retaining A Players. Over 30 years of research and over 65,000 assessment interviews, Topgrading has consistently proven to be the most reliable process and
methodology to identify, recruit, deploy, develop and retain high performers.
Attendees of the workshop will discover how to:
• Identify an A Player - someone who has a 90% chance of achieving a set of outcomes that only the top 10% of people could achieve
• Understand the true cost of “mis-hires” to your team or business
• Build a scorecard for Topgrading
• Create a ROI and payback model
• Employ virtual benchmarking

Execution is truly strategy and structure in motion, and getting that motion right is just as vital as the strategy and structure itself. Business strategy and operating models set the direction toward what and where value
will be created and who will create it. Execution is the engine that delivers the value - defining how it will be created. In this inspirational keynote presentation, Accenture will provide a deeper dive into the “secret sauce”
of execution and how leaders can balance long range planning with more flexibility to reap the corresponding benefits. Companies that understand how to successfully manage risks, and optimize value chains for both
long range operational excellence and rapid responsiveness, will be well positioned to thrive in the face of an unpredictable future.

The world’s leading companies have come to realize that only when their customers are successful, they will be successful. In pursuit of their market leadership not only do they need to spend time looking inside

Outside-In can really be summarized in the statement that “the customer experience is the process”. We can no longer just look within our organizational boundaries to create a sustainable competitive advantage.
We have to extend our scope and embrace a broader view of optimizing process by understanding, managing and developing customer expectations and the associated experience. Hosted by the world
renowned BP Group.org, this unique panel is your chance to meet and hear customer success stories from 3 of the most successful Outside-In companies.
• What makes an outside-in thinking company?
