"Sally is provocative yet practical in offering proven strategies for leveraging power in the global marketplace." Bill Mills, VP, Talent Management, United Way of America

In today’s knowledge economy, companies must be able to draw from the widest possible talent base. In this presentation, which can be delivered as a keynote or a seminar, I show how leaders can nurture talent and draw strategic level ideas from people at every level by creating powerful internal and external webs.

I describe how webs of inclusion can be used to solve specific business problems:

  • Repositioning an organization in the marketplace
  • Pushing power to the front lines
  • Integrating learning into every day
  • Building strategic alliances
  • Leveraging a diverse and empowered workforce

I show how webs operate, outline the practices of the web, and describe the skills required of web-style leaders. And I share stories drawn over the last decade about how webs are transforming organizations of every kind--  technology developers, healthcare providers, educational institutions, financial services, religious organizations, military units, police departments, NGOs, libraries, distributors and marketers.
