    Nov 28 2024
    Looking for a challenging exercise? (Not for your students, but for you?) Business Expert Michelle Markwart Deveaux takes us through an essential training strategy to help you discover (or rediscover) the "WHY" in your business. What is Institutional Memory? Often informal and intangible, organizational memory constitutes the body of knowledge and know-how an organization has accumulated throughout its history. It is a repertoire of collective knowledge found in an organization's functioning, practices, events, decisions, and interpretation models, which ensures its harmonious and efficient functioning. To this end, title represents essential capital. Why is Institutional Memory important? Intention, intention, intention. Self-awareness. Better decision making. Culture building, brand building **Key takeaway:** More money with less anxiety. About our guest: Michelle Markwart Deveaux uses her background as a performer and director to make business less annoying. As a facilitator, coach, and consultant, she helps those in decision making roles re-discover their generosity and playfulness, while maintaining high standards of integrity, inclusivity, and sustainable business practice.
