Partner Expo at our Holiday Event in December. This year, we'll be moving it to the Innovation Summit so that our attendees have more time to view and discuss what our industry partners have to offer.

Fearless Whistleblower Risk Management
Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2015
1-2 p.m. CT
Whistleblower litigation is growing at an exponential rate. State and Federal Agencies have enormous resources dedicated to investigations and enforcement actions. The Plaintiffs' bar recognizes the potential for lucrative recoveries. For employers, an ounce of prevention - generally - is worth a pound of cure. When that doesn't work, care must be taken to dial in the right response. Participants in this session will: review the most prevalent whistleblower protection laws, learn key elements of programs to manage whistleblower complaints and take away strategies to respond to administrative and civil actions.

How to, and Why Should You, Measure the Fabulous
Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015
1-2 p.m. CT
Many of us struggle with how to make data truly work as a visceral part of the organization. A popular mantra is "that which gets measured gets managed," but what about those organic things, like fun, or wonder or awareness? How can you measure the intangibles that move the proverbial needle from good to great? This session will focus on a data-informed approach to qualitative and quantitative ways of strategically measuring the intangibles, helping organizations find ways to use data as a tool rather than as a measuring stick. This session will allow participants to understand the data-informed concept which describes agile, responsive, and intelligent organizations and be presented with case studies to illustrate quantitative and qualitative data models utilizing a data-informed approach.
