It’s not surprising that there is still so much uncertainty and organizations are looking for “no regret” decisions\, so they can act while still hedging their bets. \nWe also know it’s magical thinking to hope for one optimal answer that will work for every organization. So even though all bets are off\, we still believe there are fundamental concepts we can commit to – concepts that help us “get right” the human experience – helping us to strengthen performance\, engagement\, motivation\, and factors that contribute to wellness; encouraging autonomy and choice; and designing in adaptability so things can continue to evolve way more easily from now on. \n*************** \nBrandon Dupler founded Dupler Office with his identical twin brother\, Randy\, in 2006. He lives his passion everyday helping clients create great places to work\, heal\, learn\, and live. Brandon is always pushing the envelope with his ‘next big idea’ when it comes to overall direction of the company. \nWhen Brandon is not busy making an impact in the commercial interiors world\, he loves traveling and exploring the world.

Have you worked hard to ensure your employees have the skills and training they need to reach your goals? And still\, the results you’re aiming for just aren’t there? \nMaybe it’s not the employees. Organizational performance is a function of both the behavior of team members and the design of processes. \nIn this TIGER Talk\, our presenters\, Tom Bishop\, PhD & Yiem Sunbhanich\, will argue that process design is actually the primary determinant of performance. Examples will be presented to support of the validity of this claim – including improving workplace results and reducing auto accidents on roadways – through focused\, deliberate work to improve process design. \nOrganizations must manage both people and processes. Please join us to learn more about the great “hidden” opportunity within many organizations for improved performance by placing more attention on the design of processes and the control of process performance using modern data analytic methods. \n*************** \nTom Bishop\, PhD\, is the founder and CEO of Bishop & Associates\, an analytic consulting company helping organizations use analytics to optimize organizational performance.

Prior to D&B\, Yiem worked with Nationwide Mutual Insurance as Associate Vice President of Behavioral Analytics. \nThroughout his career\, Yiem has held varied analytical and leadership roles within the Information Service\, Insurance\, and Automotive industries.
