presentation and discussion will include:

| 9:30 a.m. | Personal Development Workshop: Creating Real Solutions. Attendees will break out into workgroups in order to explore
strategies for adopting and putting personally beneficial changes in place. Workgroups will first identify current obstacles that may
need to be overcome, such as developing a difficult ROI, overcoming departmental barriers, or establishing senior management
“buy-in.” Workgroups will exchange issues and obstacle statements, and then develop solutions to the issues/obstacles identified
by other groups. Moderator Ken Lowden, Marketing & Industry Relations Manager at DuPont Color Proofing, and Spectrum
planning committee volunteers will facilitate discussions and help to synthesize results into a comprehensive conclusion. (Take
notes: this is a process you can use back at the office or plant!) |
