    A Closer Look at Keynote Speaker

   Craig Deao, MHA

   Studer Group

Session Title:  How to Change the Culture

of an Organization

Summary: 

Culture eats process improvement for lunch. This session will share the practical tips Studer Group has learned over the past 13 years related to culture change, lessons learned by firsthand experience shepherding our own culture and coaching more than 900 healthcare organizations to achieve their missions.  As a result, we've become highly attuned to the factors that predict sustainable successes and those that relegate improvement efforts to "flavor of the month" status.  Is your organization on the path to success?

Participants will learn:

• Why transformation efforts usually fail to produce sustainable results.
• The system of Evidence-Based Leadership that aligns goals, behaviors and processes.
• Specific guidance for developing an objective leader evaluation system, a pre-requisite for a culture of accountability.

TPE's Quest for Success is the Midwest's premier conference for performance and operational excellence. Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award winners, TPE Award winners, and performance excellence professionals will deliver cutting-edge presentations with improvement strategies you can immediately apply to your organization.

Hundreds of attendees will convene September 15-16, 2014 to learn from, engage with, and to be inspired by Baldrige Award winners and our Regional Program Award winners. Our attendees - CEOs, middle to senior level executives, directors, heads of operating units, and quality/performance improvement leaders - represent all sectors of the economy. Regardless of their affiliations, our attendees have demonstrated their passion to drive organizational improvement and effectiveness.

This year's conference is an unprecedented opportunity for learning and networking with national leaders who represent healthcare, business, education, and government/non-profit sectors. Both of the 2013 MBNQA Recipients, Pewaukee School District and Sutter Davis Hospital will present Keynotes and Break-out Sessions at this year's conference. Also, former MBNQA Recipients PRO-TEC Coating Company, Leipsic, OH and Schneck Medical Center, Seymour, IN, will conduct presentations. Additional workshops will feature former and current TPE Award Winners, including this year's Governor's Award Winner, CAMC Health System, Inc., and performance excellence professionals who will provide clear "take-aways" for you to implement new processes and strengthen the management practices in your organization.

The world-class Polaris Hilton is located within walking distance of Polaris Fashion Place, the Midwest's premier shopping, dining, and entertainment complex. Discounted room reservations can be made online at the TPE website.

We will also host our Annual Golf Classic on Sunday, September 14th, 2014. The event will begin at 11:00 AM with lunch - and includes 18 holes of golf, cart, and numerous prizes - all for only $125.00 per person. The Classic will be held at Winding Hollow, an Arthur Hills designed course, located in New Albany, Ohio just minutes from the conference hotel. Winding Hollow has been called "the best public course in Ohio." Register for the Golf Classic on your conference registration form today!
