This is the first of our three-part Spring executive roundtable series, Results-Driven Innovation. All sessions are open to executives and senior leaders to join in discussion with their peers. To protect the organic nature of this conversation, this event is not open to independent consultants, management consultants, or sales representatives.

About this discussion:

Competency models encourage employees to “think outside the box,” but what are the cultural forces and leadership behaviors that truly drive innovation? By enabling people to consider alternatives, be creative, and seek inventive solutions, innovative cultures achieve a leg-up on business results. This discussion will explore the influences that contribute to or undercut an organization’s efforts toward promoting innovative thinking in a psychologically safe environment.

• What are the behaviors leaders must model to enable innovation in their organizations?
• What organizational processes have to change or scale in order to encourage fail-forward risk-taking?
• Where are the “pockets” of innovation in an organization and what characteristics of these mini-cultures can be taken to the larger enterprise?
• Is implementing dedicated innovation teams within the organization the right approach?




---




About this roundtable series: 

Innovation is the result of how work gets done across all levels of an organization. Innovative organizations are known to celebrate informed risk-taking, enable employee engagement and trust in leadership, and work smarter to outperform the competition. This means empowering employees to productively disrupt business as usual.

The Results-Driven Innovation Roundtable Series helps leaders leverage their in-house talent in considering alternative solutions, seeking fresh perspectives, and questioning the current state. Discussions will focus on the value of divergent thinking up, down, and across levels of an organization; and the realities, pitfalls, and opportunities associated with employee innovation.

URBAN FOOD POLICY FORUM | Generation Food: Youth Programming & the Food Justice Movement

 

For decades, young people have been at the forefront of highlighting injustices and advocating for more equitable and democratic approaches to solving our nation’s and world’s most serious problems.

Food justice describes the goal of creating equitable food systems that promote human and planetary well-being for all, regardless of race, income, gender, profession, or residence. On April 25th, join the CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute along with youth food justice leaders and youth food justice program coordinators to discuss youth leadership in the food justice movement.  We will critically analyze how young people are finding opportunities and overcoming obstacles to shaping local, national and global food environments and food systems.

12/4/2018 – Conference # 1 – Financial Management Capacity Building

Construction is a risky business that comes with a high rate of failure. The biggest surety exposure is the risk of subcontractors and suppliers not being paid for their products and services. Preserving and managing your cash flow on projects is critical to mitigating your risk on construction projects and growing your business.

This conference will help contractors establish sound internal accounting and financial management systems to better account for financial resources and manage costs, profits and cash flows management process. Topics covered:

• Advanced Construction Accounting & Financial Management Best Practices
• WIP Schedules, Prevailing Wage & Certified Payroll
• Project Cash Flow Management & Payment Applications

 

2/20/2019 – Conference #2 – Bonding Capacity & Risk Management Tools

Successful contractors spend time and effort establishing their first surety company relationship. To prepare for that first contractor-surety meeting, the contractor needs to understand what the underwriter is looking for and be ready to answer questions about the organization’s culture, operations and future plans. 

Join our panel of surety experts and find out how to best present your business to a surety company; how to manage your risk on bonded projects; and learn more about available surety bond resources to expand your bonding capacity and start landing more lucrative contracts. Topics will covered:

• Preparing for the Surety Company Meeting
• Preparing a Bid Bond Request
• Strategies for Increasing Bonding Capacity
• Bond Claims & Risk Management Techniques to Minimize Exposure on Bonded Projects

 

4/25/2019 – Conference #3 – Pitching Your Business to Primes, Sureties & Banks

Whether it’s a networking event or an introduction, successful M/WBE firms have a one-minute pitch ready, along with a capabilities statement to leave behind. How can you make a good impression and convey your company’s message so it will lead to a follow-up meeting or better yet, a contract? Your pitch should always tell a good story.

This conference will help M/WBE participants be better prepared to network and pitch their businesses to primes, sureties and banks. Topics covered:

• Bonding & its Role in the M/WBE Subcontractor Pre-Qualification Process
• Importance of Networking, Marketing & Strategic Alliances
• Developing a Powerful Capabilities Statement & Elevator Pitch

The narrative around the gender wage gap is continuously centered on women making seventy cents to the male dollar. Nevertheless, these statistics are misleading. Among women, there are vast disparities in pay wage due to several factors such as race, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation, and nationality.

Join the Wagner Women's Caucus (WWC) in Building Bridges Across the Gender Wage Gap by participating in an important dialogue that will provide an intersectional lens towards addressing and closing the gender wage gap.

Speakers:  Netta Dobbins, Co-Founder at Mimconnect. Other speaks to be announced.

"Standing Up, Falling Down" is a comedy about the unlikely friendship that kindles between a struggling stand-up comedian from L.A., forced to move back home to Eastern Long Island with his tail between his legs, and a tragically flawed, but charming and charismatic, alcoholic dermatologist. Discovering to be kindred spirits, each helps the other find healing, in addition to the confidence to face the "failures" in their lives. Billy Crystal, Ben Schwartz and director Matt Ratner come to BUILD to discuss the film.
