Most organizations know the world of work is changing fast. What's harder to answer is a bigger question: Do we have the capabilities to meet whatever comes next? This workshop gives members and local business leaders a chance to work through that question together.

Led by Dr. Dianne Tyers, assistant vice-president of the School of Continuing Studies at the University of Guelph, and co-hosted with the Guelph Chamber of Commerce, this 90-minute session introduces the Organizational Capability Model and its four key areas:

• Human-Centered & Inclusive
• Systems Thinking & Sustainable Strategy
• Data-Informed & Ethical Decision-Making
• Technology-Enabled & Responsible Innovation.

Using a guided self-assessment, attendees will identify where their strengths sit today and where there's room to grow. Whether you're managing a team, running your own business, or growing something new, you'll leave with a clearer view of where you and your organization are strong, where the gaps are, and where to focus next.
