Complexity can cripple organizations. Unproductive meetings, irrelevant rules and reports, and endless emails keep people from doing the work that matters most. Even worse, complexity dampens morale and creates feelings of futility. It doesn’t have to be this way. CEO and TED-talk veteran Lisa Bodell shows organizations how to unleash energy, collaboration, innovation, and engagement by embracing a mindset of simplification. This presentation explores how small changes can have a profound impact on an organization’s people, competitiveness, and ability to adapt. Lisa offers techniques used by the nimblest of companies to save time, kill rules, and simplify everything. Drawing on research from her book, Why Simple Wins, as well as engaging stories and interactive exercises, Lisa proves that simplicity is the surest path to organizational transformation.

• Embrace simplicity and question the status quo to get to the work that matters.
