Some leaders I talk to want to put off doing a culture assessment because they think the scores will be unduly influenced by internal or external factors: In the end, these concerns seem to boil down to one thing: what if we do the assessment and get “bad” scores? This reminds me of that old professional development maxim: Ignoring your culture because you’re afraid that the results will not be as.

Traditional budgeting and forecasting methods can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving business environment. Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.

I loooooove chicken or egg conundrums, but before we get into the juicy philosophical debate, let’s set the stage. Two elements comprise member engagement. Members engage when there is value for them and when they have great experiences with or because of the association. When I say great experiences, I’m talking about things like being personally welcomed into the online community, seeing the spectacle of the opening session for the first time, or even the experience of looking at the homepage

Let me preface this by saying there is certainly value in having a printed agenda at your event. Yours may serve a dual role as a magazine; you may use it to distribute printed coupons for members (looking at you, chambers!); you may want to showcase your design chops. But…that said, the advantages to using a mobile event app instead (or in support) of a printed agenda — besides saving on printing costs — are pretty hard to argue with: 1.
