Linking Communication, Engagement and Performance Improvement: Three Perspectives and a ConAgra Foods Case Study

Register for Melcrum's new webinar to find out how Carole French, Facility Manager of a 600,000 square-foot ConAgra Foods warehouse, and her leadership team improved quality by 65%, inventory adjustments by 63% and productivity by 16%.

You’ll also hear Bob Kula, Senior Director of Corporate Communication at ConAgra Foods, describe how he overcame his initial skepticism about communication’s role in improving hard, measurable numbers. He in turn led the project that generated huge numbers and requests from his company’s leaders to take on more projects like this one.

Jim Shaffer, an internationally recognized thought leader in improving operating and financial performance through better communication management, then tells you what it takes to achieve these kinds of successes.    


This 60-minute webinar will give you step-by-step guidance about what they did and how they did it. Learn what engagement really is and why it’s important to improving the numbers.

In this session, you'll learn:

  • How communication, engagement and performance improvement link together
  • How to pick the right project and establish the right performance measures
  • Steps to conducting a successful performance improvement project
  • How to build a business case for this kind of outcome-based work
  • How to set targets
  • How to use your success to replicate the process in other parts of your organization
