Richard Chang: Program Outlines

The Passion Plan—Discovering, Developing, And Living Your Passion
Richard Chang has been driven by his passion for achieving personal and business excellence throughout his life. This passion has led him to compete and excel in a variety of sports, to create and build start-up companies, and ultimately, to write The Passion Plan—A Step-by-Step Guide to Discovering, Developing, and Living Your Passion.

The powerful insights and practical seven-step plan laid out in the book are explored in this dynamic and though-provoking presentation. Participants will learn how to discover their own passion and turn it into personal and professional fulfillment.

Richard shares his experiences as well as those of other men and women he has helped on their road to what he calls "Profit with a capital P"—where profit is measured in personal enrichment and satisfaction, not just dollars.

The Passion Plan—Leading with Passion
As we enter a new century, profound changes are occurring in the global marketplace. Changes which require not only reinventing organizations, but our notion of leadership as well. With the emphasis shifting from managing others to enabling others, leaders must focus on helping both themselves and their associates learn, develop, and perform as never before.

Based on his own experience and the countless experiences of those he has studied, advised, and consulted, Richard Chang has learned that individuals and organizations who perform with passion achieve "Profit with a capital P." This profit is not limited to financial success. It involves much more—advancing technology, enhancing customer relationships, and maintaining work/life balance.

In "Leading with Passion", Chang will show participants how to employ passion to energize their career, improve individual and organizational performance, and strengthen workforce loyalty.

The Passion Plan At Work—Building A Passion-Driven Organization
The ability to attract and retain talented employees has become a significant organizational challenge. Recently, a growing number of people, from executives to front-line employees, have been leaving organizations to pursue personal passions that they were not able to experience on the job. These passions have ranged from the desire to start-up and run a business to using certain skills and competencies in their work. As a result, many organizations have had to re-think their management and development strategies.

This timely and engaging program explores how to improve performance and strength the loyalty of employees by building a passion-driven culture that aligns the organizational passion with employees passions.

The Passion Plan—Turning Passion Into Performance
The saying "you snooze, you lose" has become the rule of the day. Those organizations that are too slow or too cautious to adapt do not survive. It is the organization that inspires employees and customers, that guides and manages shifts in business directions, that prevails.

In this presentation, Richard Chang combines two powerful methodologies to help organizations motivate people and align their efforts to achieve business goals. Chang begins by guiding participants through the seven-step Passion Plan Model, showing them how to discover their own passion and turn it into personal and professional fulfillment. He then adapts this model to reveal how passion can provide direction and improve performance at all levels within the organization.

As he does, participants learn to identify the "Key Profit Areas" that integrate personal and organizational passions to truly define success. Following this, Chang explains how Performance Scorecards are used to reinforce these Key Profit Areas. Employing a proven six-phase approach, he shows how to build, link, and refine scorecards to make timely, action-oriented decisions that emphasize the organization's core passions and other top-level strategies.

Performance Scorecards—Measuring The Right Things
In The Real World Today, continuous performance improvement is not only critical for survival, but also key to shaping the workforce to compete in a rapidly changing environment. Leaders at all levels need the essential knowledge and skills to develop a comprehensive view of organizational performance and to promote the behaviors that yield desired business results.

By measuring outputs and inputs at both organization-wide and business process levels, leaders can accurately assess customer satisfaction, "see" the cause and effect of improvement solutions put into action, and communicate with a common vocabulary among internal and external suppliers, producers, and customers.

In this highly interactive program, Chang explains how to develop measures and feedback opportunities across your organization. Proven methods and case analyses demonstrate how to align plans and measures from the top organization-wide level, through work groups, to individual employees. Assessment tools, practical methodologies, and personal action plans can be used immediately on the job to realize results.

Customers For Life—Optimizing Customer Value To Drive Business Growth
In order to survive in today's highly competitive, global marketplace, organizations must focus on building "customer value." A customer retention strategy that seeks to just satisfy is no longer enough. Organizations must align their internal operating philosophy and practices to not only meet but exceed customer expectations in ways that customers' "value."Building "customer value" calls for defining "critical customer value drivers" and systematically integrating these drivers into all aspects of the organization's core product and service delivery processes.

In this dynamic and informative session, Chang identifies these "drivers" and shares proven methods to help you gain competitive advantage and propel business growth by optimizing customer value—developing a loyal following of customer advocates in the marketplace.

Crystal Ball Gazing—Key Trends Shaping Workforce Development
Recent studies have shown that major investments in learning result in higher net sales per employee, higher gross profits per employee, and a higher valuation by Wall Street gurus. More than ever before, workplace learning is being acknowledged as a real differentiator in organizational performance.

Recognized as one of the world's leading authorities in the Human Resources and Development (HRD) field, Richard Chang explores some of the emerging market forces and organizational shifts expected to challenge current approaches to learning and development. In addition, he shares a variety of strategies for realigning HRD initiatives to help ensure that organizations and their workforces are well-prepared to survive and thrive now and in the future.
