PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT & DECISION MAKING
February 26, 2013 & March 13, 2013 (two-day seminar)
Critical Thinking
Annette Veech, PhD
Senior Lecturer in Business Communication, Olin Business School, Washington University
Labeling communication as a “soft skill” is a misnomer; simply communicating succinctly
may not set a successful course toward our destination. In reality, we often experience sharp
turns and deep drop-offs when interacting with others. Navigating the ever-changing waters
of communication requires not just a moral or strategic compass but also creativity, balanced
perceptions, and an ability to maneuver through dynamic group and individual relationships.
April 4, 2013
Communications Require More Than a Compass NEW
John Richardson
Lecturer, MIT Sloan; Senior Consultant, Triad Consulting Group
In today’s collaborative environment, getting things done requires the ability to work across
silos, through differences and around a variety of unexpected obstacles. The ability to handle
difficult conversations – with direct reports, peers, customers, partners or suppliers – is
key to your ability to lead effectively. This interactive session, designed by members of the
Harvard Negotiation Project, will offer a framework and practical skills for handling conflict
and making sound decisions while maintaining good working relationships.
May 2, 2013
Difficult Conversations NEW

to act purposely, think rationally and deal effectively with your environment within four
dimensions: self-awareness, self-mastery, social awareness and relational management.

W. Patrick McGinnis Professor of Marketing, Olin Business School, Washington University
Social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Yelp are fundamentally
changing how consumers communicate with each other and evaluate product information.
This seminar will address the implications of the advent of social media for various aspects

of managing businesses. It will also address the new business models that are emerging
as a result of social media.

Leading & Managing Change NEW
Lee J. Konczak, PhD
Senior Lecturer in Organizational Behavior & Leadership Development,
Olin Business School, Washington University
In today’s business environment, the ability to lead and manage change is critical to
organizational growth and profitability, but research suggests that successful change
is often the exception rather than the rule. Successful change requires a leader that
understands the change process, how to get the right people on-board and the key
elements of change implementation. This program reviews best practices and provides
frameworks, models and tools that leaders can immediately apply to change initiatives.
March 5, 2013
Tribal Leadership: Unleashing the Power of Creative Collaboration NEW
Dave Logan, PhD
Faculty, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California;
Managing Partner, CultureSync
Every organization is a tribe or a network of tribes – groups of 20 to 150 people that form
naturally, in which everyone knows everyone else, or at least knows of them. In this highly
interactive session, Logan shows professionals how to upgrade their organization one tribe
at a time. The result is unprecedented collaboration and impact.
At the heart of this session is Logan’s 10-year study on 24,000 people that mapped, for the first
time, five stages of corporate culture and the unique leverage points to nudge a group forward.
June 12, 2013

September 12, 2013
Global Leadership
Mabel Miguel, PhD
Professor of Organizational Behavior, Kenan-Flagler Business School,
University of North Carolina
This seminar discusses the importance of global careers, characteristics of successful global
leaders and the building of global competence by examining three approaches of highly
successful global leaders. The increasing use of virtual global teams and their implications
for global leadership are discussed as are strategies to launch and maintain a successful
global virtual team. The seminar ends with a discussion of an increasingly necessary skill
in global careers: the management of geographically dispersed global teams.
Lee Konczak, PhD
Senior Lecturer in Organizational Behavior & Leadership Development,
Olin Business School, Washington University
In order to optimize leadership impact, leaders must have an in-depth understanding
of their leadership capabilities. This includes an awareness of one’s strengths and
weaknesses and also how these are expressed in daily leadership interactions and how
they impact followers. In this intensive, assessment-driven session, participants will
engage in a self-discovery process to uncover key leadership strengths that can be
leveraged toward growth and development.
July 17, 2013
Leadership Edge: Understanding & Managing Your Impact NEW
August 20, 2013 & September 24, 2013 (two-day seminar)
Shaping an Authentic Leader for Vital Action & Sustainable Impact NEW
Edie Varley, MBA
Principal, The Varley Group, Business and Organizational Consulting
The business world hungers for authenticity – a person whose words are supported by the
authority of their actions. People who say what they mean and mean what they say and

take corrective action when necessary to address any harm caused to others. It takes a
single purpose and a set of disciplined habits. This Power of One model is the one absolute
advantage we have, and it inspires others. It is the Power of One consistent performance
that changes the game and the organization’s impact. This seminar is a personal journey to
develop your Power of One model for living an authentic life and influencing/leading others
within your work organization. Varley will help you gain insights into your own leadership
identity, corresponding behaviors and outcomes and develop an actionable pathway for
authentic leadership in your personal life and your work environment for maximum impact.

Sergio Chayet, PhD
Director of the Master of Science in Supply Chain Management Program; Director of the
Operations & Supply Chain Management MBA Platform; Senior Lecturer in Operations &
Manufacturing Management, Olin Business School, Washington University
Learn how to develop advanced project stakeholder analyses and to create and implement
an effective stakeholder strategy. Organizations depend on projects as vehicles to establish

INNOVATION
December 5, 2013
Creativity Leading to Breakthrough Performance
R. Keith Sawyer, PhD
Associate Professor of Education and Associate Professor of Psychology,
College of Arts & Science, Washington University
In today’s highly competitive and rapidly changing economy, creative thinking is more
important than ever to personal and organizational success. Many jobs that don’t
require creativity are being automated or outsourced; creativity is your personal key
to organizational performance. This workshop will provide you with a set of practical
skills and techniques to enhance your creativity for business and personal success.
Panos Kouvelis, PhD
Senior Associate Dean & Director of Executive Programs; Director of The Boeing Center for
Technology, Information, & Manufacturing; Emerson Distinguished Professor of Operations
& Manufacturing Management, Olin Business School, Washington University
Learn how to create and implement business models that change the nature of competition
in an industry. Examine how new entrants can use business model innovation to surpass
long-standing industry leaders and the ways for incumbent firms to protect their attacked
markets by reinventing business models capitalizing on the strengths of their ongoing
operations. Attendees will learn about a comprehensive framework to help make business
model innovation a consistent, repeatable process for growth, value creation and corporate
renewal. Emphasis will be placed both on the formulation of innovative business models and
on the effective execution of such innovations.
November 6–7, 2013 (two-day seminar)
Leading Through Influence
J. Stuart Bunderson, PhD
George & Carol Bauer Professor of Organizational Ethics & Governance,
Olin Business School, Washington University
Exercising real leadership and leading positive change require more than just a worthy goal or
a good idea. They also require the ability to influence people both within and outside your chain

of command in order to gain support and overcome resistance. That is, they require the skill of
informal leadership. This session helps participants to understand and develop three key skills
of informal leadership: navigating politics, understanding power and exercising influence.
December 11, 2013
Doing Well While Doing Good NEW
Stacy Jackson, PhD
Adjunct Professor of Leadership & Professional Development
Olin Business School, Washington University
In the midst of striving to serve customers in a profitable and sustainable manner,
executives must find new ways to address social, environmental and economic influences.
Firms vary greatly in how they reconcile their pursuit of profitable results with their goal
to serve the common good. Some focus on narrow shareholder perspectives, and others
divert needed resources to corporate social responsibility endeavors that may seem
irrelevant to the core values of the firm. Doing well while doing good seems out of reach.
Can firms genuinely sustain a competitive advantage while providing an increasing
societal value that does not erode profitability inappropriately? This program will help
you evaluate the trade-offs of various firm approaches to reconciling these challenges.

STRATEGY & CORPORATE GROWTH

The Trillion-Dollar R&D Fix NEW
October 9–10, 2013 (two-day seminar)
Creating Value Through Mergers & Acquisitions NEW
November 14, 2013
Building Competitive Advantage Through Strategy
Anne Marie Knott, PhD
Professor of Strategy, Olin Business School, Washington University
A recent Harvard Business Review article, “The Trillion-Dollar R&D Fix” argues that the
problem with innovation today is that firms are flying blindly with respect to their R&D.
They don’t know how to measure R&D effectiveness and accordingly resort to rules of thumb

when setting their R&D budgets. A new measure, firms’ Research Quotient (RQ), changes
that. RQ is a universal, uniform and reliable measure of R&D effectiveness that allows firms
to gauge how good they are absolutely (and relative to rivals). It also offers guidance on
how to improve RQ, but the most immediate benefit of the measure is that it identifies the
optimal R&D budgets for firms. The article shows that if just the top 20 U.S. firms got their
budgets right last year, it would have created $1 trillion in market value.
This seminar will describe firm RQ, its measurement and its link to optimal R&D and market
value and present results from a recent National Science Foundation study to identify the
factors underpinning firm RQ.
Todd R. Zenger, PhD
Robert & Barbara Frick Professor of Business Strategy,
Olin Business School, Washington University
Gain a clearer understanding of how to craft strategy in your business so it delivers competitive
advantage. This seminar will help you develop tools for understanding competition within your
industry and ways to assess your organization’s resources and capabilities, as well as give you
the ability to analyze business models.
Anjan Thakor, PhD
Director of Doctoral Programs and John E. Simon Professor of Finance,
Olin Business School, Washington University
Todd Milbourn, PhD
Hubert C. & Dorothy R. Moog Professor of Finance, Olin Business School, Washington University
In this highly competitive marketplace, mergers and acquisitions can allow a firm to
execute its strategy and deliver value to shareholders expeditiously. However, the M&A
waters are fraught with failures and value destruction. In this seminar, we will highlight
the common pitfalls in such deals and develop techniques of best practice for target
identification, deal valuation and post-deal integration deals. We will also describe
the latest empirical findings from scientific studies of these kinds of deals and devote
attention to the valuation of privately owned companies.
