Directors and administrators face greater demands today than at any time in recent decades. Agencies have been asked to down size, consolidate, outsource and do more with less. Executive level leaders face the challenge of remaining relevant and producing real results that citizens value. The Executive Summit will be different from the typical one-day workshop. The program is partially modeled after Harvard’s Executive Education program’s approach of using real-life case studies to engage participants in deeper discussions about important issues and learn from each other. But what results? Given the multiplicity of their responsibilities, what specific results should the leadership team attempt to improve first? And what works? Given limited resources and flexibility, how can agency leaders achieve the results and organizational improvements needed to survive in the present, and thrive in the future. The goal of the summit is to identify the critical issues and challenges facing agencies and administrators and explore the skills needed to become effective decision makers. Learn how to create both systems and culture within your organizations to creatively plan for the future and solve today’s most challenging problems. The Reality of Rigorous Relevance & Results Public agencies face greater demands from a jaded and skeptical public today than at any time in recent decades. Throughout the United States, tax support of parks and recreation has declined sharply, the demand for services has spiked, and trust in government has fallen to an all time low. This session will explore the reality of local government finance and public sector support for parks and recreation in relation to other local government services. The future will demand that public agencies become rigorously relevant and achieve results in a more cost effective way. Participants will be challenged to determine "what and who matters most" and how to achieve the results that elected officials and the public value most. Partner to Prosper We can no longer go it alone. Success in the future will require leveraging capacity through strategic partnerships and contract relationships with other public agencies, non-profit organizations and private companies. This session will highlight case studies of innovative partnerships with park & facility development, maintenance & operations, and revenue & program management. Discuss how to determine what to “steer” versus what to “row,” and why most partnerships and contract relationships succeed or fail. Problem Solving & Decision Making Tough decisions are the essence of leadership. At the executive manager level, learning “how to think” versus “what to think” requires expanding and enhancing our critical thinking skills. Learn how to develop the knowledge and skills to find creative solutions and make the best decisions related to budget, staffing, reorganization, prioritizing services and planning for the future. This session explores how to avoid the emotional and intellectual pitfalls that lead even the most experienced leaders to make mistakes. Participants use case studies to navigate “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” scenarios of problem solving and decision-making. SPEAKERS WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
