IN-PERSON SESSION – UMKC Bloch Executive Hall, 5108 Cherry Street, Kansas City, Missouri Room 414Every organization strives to improve performance, but surprisingly few understand what high performing organizations actually look like. Not surprisingly, this can lead companies to focus on improving the wrong things, often with the best of intentions.
