How many people have left a job because the culture was unsuitable? Culture matters. It can make or break teams and even an organization. How we leverage our tech stack, information, and analytics is just as important as how we maximize our human stack. But as team members and leaders, have you taken the time to define your culture? Outlining what to expect and what is expected is a critical step to facilitating collaboration within prospect development and how you show up with leadership, the frontline, and technical partners. This keynote will outline basic approaches to formalizing collaboration to lay the foundation for future success.
