These Zoom shows also provide useful background for those seeking Enterprise Engagement Alliance engagement certifications.
Background.

July 2020: Strategic Culture: Beyond the Warm and Fuzzy. Click here for the show.
Summary: Over the last two decades, hundreds of books have focused on leadership and culture, and many CEOs at companies of all sizes have hired coaches to help improve their management styles. And yet, after 20 years or more of talk, probably no more than 20% of organizations have a strategic approach to culture management—i.e., a CE0-led plan that drives a consensus-based brand promise, values, culture, and objectives through a formal process across the enterprise. The result—almost no change in customer and employee engagement. Panelists address why most companies do little more than pay lip service to culture; the potential cost of that oversight; and what can be done about it.
Speakers: Dr. Paul White, Founder, Appreciation at Work,a leader in culture through genuine appreciation; Alex Edmans, Professor of Finance, London Business School and author of the recently published, Grow the Pie, who will be sharing his research on the economic benefits of engagement but also a new equation for making decisions based on smarter human-capital analytics; Gary Rhoads, CEO of Xvoyant.com, and Professor Emeritus, Marketing and Entrepreneurship, Marriott Graduate School of Business, who will provide the perspective of an early pioneer in Enterprise Engagement as creator of Allegiance, now MaritzCX, a customer experience company, and more recently of Xvoyant, a sales engagement SaaS platform that is yielding fascinating insights on sales behaviour based on empirical data; and Barbara Porter, Managing Director, EY, who has managed culture both as a CEO of her own company and as an advisor to many others.
July 2020: Advertising and Marketing in the Era of Authenticity. Click here for the show.
Summary: This Zoom Show features leaders in branding, marketing, and advertising to discuss the future of marketing and advertising in the time of Covid-19. On the one hand, the severe economic downturn and increasing push to digital is squeezing margins for agencies, and on the other hand, consumers have become even more skeptical about companies and are demanding a greater focus on people and authenticity: 70% of respondents to a recent JUST Capital/Harris Poll say they prefer to do business, work for, or do business with people-focused businesses. This Zoom show addresses the potential impact of this collision of trends on advertising and marketing. Does the field of advertising and marketing field have a transformative opportunity in the era of authenticity and purpose? Are clients ready to be challenged to use the powerful tools of advertising and marketing to focus not only telling the truth and helping people in their campaigns, but on keeping their promises? Are marketers ready to build internal and distribution partner engagement and promise delivery into every “campaign?”
Speakers: Matthew Della Croce; President Global and Corporate for Allison Partners; Satish Korde, a brand strategy consultant and formerly CEO of GTB, and Allan Steinmetz; CEO, Founder, Inward Consulting, will join EEA Zoom show host Bruce Bolger, Enterprise Engagement Alliance at TheEEA.org founder, on how the advertising and marketing field can adapt to the new focus on authenticity and purpose.

Nov. 2020: Attention Executives--The Human Capital Mandate Has Arrived. Click here for the recording.
Summary: Even before the SEC’s new Human Capital Disclosures became law for US public companies, the pressure was mounting for organizations of all sizes to create greater wealth from their investments in people. Here are highlights from an EEA Zoom Show:
• It is now possible to link key human capital metrics to financial and other goals, but only a few companies are doing it…The new pressures for people metrics will put the focus on the ROI of HR practices.
• Increasing societal concerns about people practices were already driving a greater focus on people. The SEC’s pronouncement that people are material raises new governance issues for CEOs and Boards.
• The new focus on people and analytics was happening anyway. This is not going away: CEOs at all companies increasingly will have to apply a strategic and systematic approach to people managements, metrics, and reporting, because the financial impact is real.
Speakers: Larry Beeferman, Ph.D.: Independent Consultant, Fellow, Harvard University, Labor/Worklife Program; Neri Bukspan: EY Americas Accounting, Reporting and Governance Leader; Solange Charas, PhD.: Founder and CEO of HCMoneyball.
