The unusual event might be --
an organizational structure or information system,
a management practice -- such as a reward system, leadership
style, or employee-selection method,
a challenge -- such as a threat or opportunity in the
environment of a person, group, or organization,
a strategy or tactic, or
a time period -- such as a time of exceptionally high or low
performance.
Of course, I am seeking events that could be presented in Cincinnati.
There should be someone who could come to Cincinnati and describe the
event.
Another category of presentations might be methods for learning from
unusual events -- either qualitative or quantitative methods of analysis,
or methods of data gathering, or methods of generating alternative
explanations.
Please send your ideas to me via e-mail.
