Opening Keynote - FAKE "WORK"
io
Featuring Brent. D. Peterson
Half of the work we do consumes valuable time without strengthening the short- or long-term survival of the organization.
In a word, it's fake.
Not only does fake work drain a company's resources without improving its bottom line, it steals conviction, care, and positive morale from employees, and adds the burden of high turnover, communication breakdowns, and cultural patterns of poor productivity.
QNET welcomes sought-after and compelling speaker Brent D. Peterson to this year's conference for insight on how to turn fake work into real work. Brent will teach us to identify needlessly time-consuming and sometimes difficult tasks and instead shift our focus toward rewarding work that will achieve results.
Brent D. Peterson, Ph.D. is the co-founder and chair of The Work Itself Group, Inc., which helps organizations align strategy with work. He has spent many years as a professor of human resource development in the Marriott School of Management, and was director of the Nyal McMullen Center for Entrepreneurship. He has written twenty books, including Fake "Work", founded three consulting companies, and facilitated more than 3,000 workshops over thirty years ranging from leadership to management to human resource issues, primarily with Fortune 1000 companies, around the world.

Closing Keynote - Uncrapify Your Life!
Featuring Jeff Havens
The closing keynote by Jeff Havens is a study in exactly what not to do. Promising to give his audiences permission rather than advice, Jeff will ‘encourage’ your team to criticize others and outsource blame before bringing it all home with a serious discussion about proper communication, customer service, and accountability practices.
By highlighting and then poking fun of practices we’re all guilty of, Uncrapify Your Life! offers a unique and delightful twist that will leave you refreshed, surprised, and begging for more.
