2010 Best Practices Conference
 |
Profitability alone was never enough; any business beholden to
the Service Profit chain learned long ago to balance people and
profits. Today, leading companies focus the future on the next big
hurdle - measuring and achieving the Triple Bottom Line of people,
profits and a sustainable future for our planet.
Join us in Dallas, TX on November 1 - 3rd, 2010, for the 15th
annual Best Practices Conference, as we celebrate the milestones of
the People Report Consortium, and bring together the executive
members of People Report and Black Box Intelligence. Count on being
informed, inspired, and renewed as we tackle the triple challenges
and opportunities of People, Profits, and the Planet.

Social Media, HR,
& the Marketing Department: Let's Talk
As the four walls of the restaurant become more and more
transparent to customers and employees, the opportunities to
connect our consumer and employer brands have morphed exponentially
- along with the opportunity to blow it if the marketing and HR
departments are not working together. Brad Gramlich works in a
company where HR & Marketing actually report to the same person
- he will lead the discussion about how to leverage the strengths
and contributions of both departments to create real competitive
advantage.

Making Green by
Going Green
This session will combine vivid stories with
scientifically-informed analyses to paint a picture of how going
green can contribute directly to organizational performance.
Participants will learn how to better plan for and think about
their own green initiatives, along with best practices from
companies who have decided to go green. We will provide concrete
examples of best practices in action at Caribou Coffee. HR
professionals will learn how your expertise can have a meaningful
impact on whether the workforce accepts and adopts green
initiatives. You will be armed with compelling information about
how going green (and doing it well) can result in substantive
financial and morale benefits for your organization. Speakers
include Kevin Impelman and John Muros, top researchers at Batrus
Hollweg, International, along with Chad Trewick, Senior Director of
Tea and Coffee, Caribou Coffee.

Digital Brand
Science
Reaching the new digital consumer has its challenges; it's not
just social media or the engagement. The social web is growing back
into a position where our brands do have control. In this session
we will talk about the new digital consumer and how they interact
with the digital brand. Influencers are the indicators of the
future, how we market, interact and converse with them will be a
new kind of digital brand science!
