Overview:

As planning and budgeting for 2023 intensifies, the importance of aligning team OKRs to overall business OKRs is crucial. To help in this, RBC and ThoughtExchange have joined forces to highlight the use of collective intelligence and in-person facilitation in this process to uplift employee voice, empower teams, and ultimately to promote equity, efficiency and effectiveness in decision making.

What to expect:

Explore how collective intelligence helps modern leaders to maximize their human capital in a distributed workforce.
Understand why alignment > engagement and how this impacts retention of key talent.
Learn how to enrich existing OKR priorities and get all stakeholders aligned to your strategy.
Participate in topic-led roundtables to break down silos with RBC colleagues, and walk away with a connected view of the wider organization.
