Session 3: Operational Efficiency & Talent Optimization
Date: 3/31/26
Focus: Maximizing resources and building a high-performance culture.
Presenter: John Gartin, Director of Learning and Organizational Development, NAU Human Resources

Every organization wants better results. Better service. Better retention. Better teamwork. And better follow-through. But too often, organizations chase improvement by pushing harder on people instead of improving the systems, habits, expectations, and development structures that shape our team's daily performance.
This interactive workshop offers a fresh and practical approach to operational efficiency and talent optimization by focusing on the connection between people, processes, and performance. You will develop a unique blend of leadership development, organizational effectiveness, positive team culture building, and practical AI application to help your organization identify where friction lives, where talent gets underused, and where small, intentional improvements can create meaningful gains over time. The approach is grounded in responsibility, accountability, communication, self-efficacy, and the belief that getting 1% better every day compounds into extraordinary results for individuals and teams.
