Featured Session

Finding Your Internal Champions to Support Growth and Success
Thursday, September 3 | 10:30a – 12p CT

Internal champions are a concrete operational concept, not a soft one. The reason implementations succeed or stall often comes down to whether someone internal owns it with real enthusiasm.

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll move beyond the idea and value of a champion, and into the practical work of building one. You’ll walk through a repeatable framework for identifying, empowering, and sustaining internal champions at your organization—whether you’re mid-implementation, preparing for an upgrade, or simply trying to deepen adoption across your team.

Come ready to work. You’ll map your own org’s landscape, pressure-test your current champion structure (or build one from scratch), and leave with a concrete action plan you can put to use the moment you’re back at your desk.
