All businesses need a full range of skills to be able to survive and grow. Unfortunately, many business leaders struggle with the "need" to hire people to perform specific tasks and the "desire" to design a team based upon long-term strategy. How do we identify the right mix of skills and people? How do we mitigate the risk of misalignment or wrong hire? What strategies work best when designing a team? How do we grow, expand and drive the team toward key skills? In this Innovation Initiative session, Colleen Rudio will tackle these questions, identify key challenges, explore proven techniques and tools; and start building a framework to support your efforts.

Meeting starts with networking (drinks and snacks provided) and are informal with Q & A strongly encouraged.
