parental beliefs and values (the 90%) that could limit or reduce child behavior
improvement. Unless these beliefs and values are identified and addressed\, very

If we discipline a child who misbehaves primarily because of a medical or emotional problem\, the discipline imposed can be counterproductive. Children can misbehave for a variety of reasons. Most of the reasons why children misbehave can be controlled for and altered once identified. This powerful live one-hour research-based webinar explores reasons for child misbehavior by examining the psychology\, biology\, social\, and environmental factors that can contribute to child misbehavior. Since this webinar contains all the latest research regarding child misbehavior\, it is constantly updated.
At the conclusion of this webinar\, participants will be able to identify specific factors within their own children that may contribute to child misbehavior.
As our gift for attending\, participants will receive a free copy of our \\"Standing Up To Bullying\\" Computer game. This game\, designed to teach children anti-bullying skills\, can be played in classrooms\, homes\, or therapy settings.

In the search for increasing shareholder value\, lowering costs and
increasing market share\, organizations have begun to demonstrate greater
efficiencies and improved performance in the newly defined global economy.
Re-engineered processes have and innovative programs like Lean Six Sigma
have heightened the ability of organizations to successfully capitalize on
the value of the companyè\;s assets in significant ways. Yet\, in the midst of
all these performance improvement programs and initiatives most managers
agree that the single greatest asset of the organization - the contact
centre is being underutilized.
The fundamental shift is in the metrics that show key areas of improvement
or key areas of strength within the organization. Within the myriad of
metrics available today\, which is relevant to a particular organization
within a particular industry varies depending on the leadership of that
particular organization. What may be the next new flavour of the week\,
month or quarter depends on whom you speak with.
In this seminar\, Mohan will describe a process of identifying the relevant
metrics for your particular organization which yields the results that matter
- both to internal and external stakeholders.
He will show you how to create a
scorecard that quickly allows you visibility into your operations using
effective Lean Six Sigma techniques.

Who Should Attend?
This 2 hr webinar is directed to anyone who is in a Leadership capacity(Directors\, Managers\, Team Managers\, Team Leaders\, Supervisors\, etc) .
It will also be beneficial to all QA Associates.
Rules are the cinderblock of effective and successful child behavior management. Child discipline cannot adequately be implemented or enforced if effective rules are not first established. Rules define behavioral expectations in every setting whether it is home\, school\, or the community. Rules help prepare children to obey laws in our society. Rules are supposed to encourage behavior change. However\, oftentimes rules are developed in such a way that they subsequently discourage compliance and promote defiance. We need to understand and be aware of the characteristics of rule setting so that we create rules that promote compliance\, not defiance.
This webinar explores\:
• The importance of rule setting\,
• The identification and understanding of specific rule setting characteristics\, and
• How to develop rules that kids will follow.
At the conclusion of this webinar\, participants will have developed an effective list of rules for their home\, classroom\, or any other setting.

In the current economic scenario\, visionary CFO’s are looking at building “best in class” Source to Pay (S2P) operations to lead and support their enterprise savings mandates. As a result it will not be unusual to see the CPO’s and procurement leaders’ Spend Under Management (SUM) initiatives strategically placed on the “board room agenda”.
CFO’s will collaborate with CPO’s to provide leadership\, vision and spend under management control strategies in S2P processes to achieve true bottom line impact. Their new mandate will be integrating procurement best practices across the enterprise’s business functions and P&\;L’s\, penetrating spend control processes deeper than before.
CFO’s will also expect the savings realized from SUM initiatives to provide resources for a self-funding\, P&\;L neutral approach with accelerated ROI results so that current budgets are not negatively impacted.
In this complimentary webinar\, Genpact will discuss the new paradigm which takes an enterprise and business P&\;L level view of S2P’s integrated processes and ties them to business outcomes such as Working capital optimization\, TCO reduction and on-time availability of material and services in a self funding approach.

Managing Gen X and Gen Y Employees -Lessons learned and emerging trends\:
Generation X (aged 26 &ndash\; 46) and Generation Y (aged 18 to 28) form the core of present day&rsquo\;s and the future contact centre workforce. Gen X and Gen Y are highly educated\, technologically literate\, networked socially and optimistic about their future. They have high and sometimes impossible expectations of their leaders for guidance and career aspirations for their success. They have also grown-up in times of economic prosperity and have limited coping skills for today&rsquo\;s more challenging economic environment where they have to interact with Baby Boomers and other generations including the silent generation before the baby boomers. The aging of the workforce and the increased focus on ongoing healthcare\, retirement and pensionable benefits within the organization is causing many organizations to review the cost of carrying high costs for staffing within the new economic model.
In leading contact centers\, complaints are increasingly seen as sources of valuable insight\, rather than irritating distractions. In today&rsquo\;s climate however\, the value is created not by dealing with one complaint at a time\, but as groups\, expressing the true &ldquo\;Voice of the Customer&rdquo\;. How do best-in-class\, customer-centric\, businesses extract this freely given value? Skills such as encouraging customers to talk and provide feedback to you\, managing customer responses to feedback &\; complaints and listening to the &lsquo\;Voice of Customer&rsquo\; and setting priorities within your contact centre involves several key elements for a winning recipe.
The current turmoil has spawned a great sense of urgency for businesses to respond by reducing their workforce and trimming capital spending as they scramble to cut costs and preserve shrinking profits. Many face the reality of restructuring and downsizing\, including business giants like AIG\, Sony Corporation\, and Nortel who had announced massive restructuring plans. For many business leaders managing large-scale restructuring\, it is easy to get lost in the challenges of immediate financial &\; organizational pressures\, without giving much thought to maintaining employee engagement\, motivation\, &\; strong employee relations. This can affect employees' long term performance and also have a detrimental effect on your business - something shareholders and investors are keen to avoid. This presentation will take you through the systematic change processes that will enable organizations to move forward and positioned for growth in the economic recovery period
The war for talent has also begun and more organizations are seeking innovative ways to recruit\, train and retain talent within the Gen X and Gen Y as the Baby Boomers are planning their retirement and succession planning programs for the transfer of skills\, knowledge and expertise. Nowhere is this more critical than the contact centre industry which historically has struggled with high attrition rates. Coupled with this new phenomenon that appeared a decade ago at the turn of the century\, many thought leaders and strategists within key industries have approached their national leaders to focus on skills for the new economy including technology spending and leadership training in colleges and universities. Subjects like environmental sciences and biotechnology inspired new innovative ideas like voice recognition and intelligent routing within a contact centre. Seamless data flowed through sites and time zones to enable and empower employees to serve and manage customer relationships 24X7 days.
Indeed the industry has been shaped significantly by these Gen X and Gen Y ideas fuelled by the inspiration from the Baby Boomers. Never has the world seen collaboration and innovation amongst 3 (perhaps 4) different generations in a workplace environment. This means the leader or the manager has to be equally equipped with the knowledge\, skills and tactics to survive in a most unforgiving workplace environment. The shortage of talent has placed added stress to HR managers and Contact Centre leaders where outsourcing as an option creates other challenges. What to do? So little time&hellip\;this seminar will be able to shed some light on key tactics and strategic options you can choose to avoid the problems that other organizations faced a few years ago. Two case studies will be reviewed as well.

Gartner predicts the worldwide market for Cloud computing is increasing from $45B in 2009 to $150B in 2013. And\, by 2012\, “20% of businesses will own no IT assets.”
IDC points to security as the #1 challenge for Cloud service providers and thus “remains the top opportunity for IT suppliers to tackle as they position themselves as market leaders in the Cloud era.”
Providers of all types of Cloud computing services (SaaS\, PaaS\, IaaS) are poised for spectacular growth and profits. Until now\, Cloud providers have done a reasonably good job of keeping their clients data safe\, secure and private. Concerns remain in the areas of security\, privacy and compliance.
While some security measures are proprietary and/or require secrecy to maintain a competitive advantage (security by obscurity)\, others are strengthened by the fact they are transparent and well known.
Using Cloud services can make it difficult to maintain compliance with various industry regulations. If Cloud providers make some of their security procedures transparent\, thus verifying their implementation of valid security practices on a periodic or\, ideally\, on a continuous basis\, they will further open their doors to increased business.

Rules simply define behavioral expectations and boundaries. That is why we need to establish appropriate and effective consequences per rule. Establishing specific logical consequences that directly match specific rules is more effective than punishments in terms of improving child misbehavior. Sometimes\, it is difficult to determine which child discipline or consequence would be the most effective. This webinar offers a variety of effective child discipline or consequences that could be implemented on children of all ages.
This webinar explores\:
• The differences between logical consequences and punishments\,
• The meaning of learned helplessness and its affect on children\, and
• How to develop effective logical consequences.
At the conclusion of this webinar\, participants will have developed an effective list of consequences for their home\, classroom\, or any other setting.
The presenter is Mark Lakewood\, CEO of Building Strong Families National Seminars\, a distinguished parenting expert\, author\, and speaker with over 20 years of clinical experience as a mental health therapist. Mr. Lakewood has an extensive history providing therapy services to children\, adolescents\, and adults. Several years ago\, he developed and facilitated an effective parenting program for parents of strong-willed children that gained local recognition. This program taught parents strategies and techniques to help them effectively manage their children's behavior. Based on this program\, Mr. Lakewood later created the Sudden Compliance Program and is currently offering it as a DVD/downloadable video series and as a webinar series.
The cost to attend this webinar is only $9.95.
This webinar is presently scheduled for Thursday\, April 29th\, 2010 from 2\:00 PM - 3\:00 PM (Eastern Time). There are additional dates/times to select from.
