CBAP at UIC Sample ClassesYou have an opportunity to sample a session in the CBAP. Sample sessions are offered during any current program. The next program will begin March, 2013.
Take this opportunity to look into the program and meet current participants as you take part in the session.
Most businesses today are in an odd predicament. They know they need to change, but they don’t know exactly what it will be. They know that change will involve technology, but they don’t know exactly how it will take shape. What’s clear to all companies today is that they’ll be conducting business differently tomorrow – and in order to prepare, they know they must move toward a company-wide strategic solution, integrating a competitive strategy with the kind of flexible structure that can rapidly assimilate new revenue opportunities, retain existing profitable customers and help them change into what they need to be tomorrow.
Bad systems defeat good people all the time - that's what we preach in the CBAP at UIC and what we witness everyday in the field. If this is happening in your day-to-day operations, you may be running the risk of losing profit margin through inefficient and ineffective management practices. Today, customers are better informed, more sophisticated technology-wise and much more savvy of the purchasing process than ever before. Knowing these new fundamentals of business along with the realities of the current competitive market, smart business owners are not waiting for “time to heal all wounds”, but are becoming more proactive toward initiating positive change today. Come join us!

KEY BENEFITS OF ATTENDING THESE SESSIONS
From our experience, so few businesses are fully embracing the marriage of people, work processes, and strategy in their businesses that these presentations can truly open your eyes to the advantages of embracing change and managing your organization as a system. For all business owners and managers, understanding the implications of change in a fast-paced and changing economy is crucial to not only setting the direction of the company, but also in installing those changes demanded by change and growth.
Issues Addressed
- Leadership versus Management - performance implications for the growing business
- Factors that drive the need for change
- Why change efforts generally fail
- The Importance of communication when overcoming resistance
- Managing your Organization as a System - a systems approach to planning and improvement
