Finding the right performance measures for your business
Tuesday 12 May, 6-8pm
Location: LLMC, Ground Floor, David Chiddick Building on Brayford Wharf East at the University of
Lincoln.
Our media-frenzied world surrounds us with figures, most of which are meaningless unless considered within
the correct context.
A successful business needs to understand its core figures from both an internal and an external perspective,
and these perspectives are often different.
Frequently, directors, managers, owners, banks, stakeholders and the media will focus on a quantum figure
rather than challenging the relationship of one figure to another.
This interactive session will challenge participants to consider the figures that drive them and their business,
how to measure success and how to determine value.
Presenters: Mark Wearden MSc FCCA FCIS is Senior Lecturer in Corporate Finance and Corporate
Governance at Lincoln Business School, University of Lincoln and the owner/director of MBS challenging
perception, a strategy consultancy. He has worked 12 years in merchant banking as an analyst, 8 years in
industry as a finance director and 20 years working through MBS with many organisations. His areas of
interest are ‘governance thinking’ , ‘risk’ and ‘supply chain challenge’; in particular exploring the
dichotomy that frequently exists between theory and practice.

booking to be used by 31 December 2015, discount off room hire prices only.

How understanding strengths can make you a better leader
Wednesday 9 July, 6-8pm
Location: LLMC, Ground Floor, David Chiddick Building on Brayford Wharf East at the University of
Lincoln.
The Character of a Leader: How understanding strengths can make you a better leader

waking up to the fact that knowing the psychological strengths of themselves and their colleagues leads to
greater engagement, productivity and creativity in the world of work.
This workshop teaches leaders and managers to recognise their own strengths and use them to best effect
with others. It also offers evidence-based approaches to increasing work engagement in the people one
manages by skilfully spotting their strengths in action, and offering feedback from a strengths-based
perspective.

Panel discussion: Gender, behaviour and ethics
Tuesday 14 July, 6-8pm
Location: LLMC, Ground Floor, David Chiddick Building on Brayford Wharf East at the University of

more from one situation to another in comparison to men. This workshop explores differences between men
and women through examples, and a panel of managers shares their experiences with workshop guests.

their impact on behaviour at work. She worked previously as a special consultant for the United Nations in
conflict management and peace-building. She is currently Deputy Head of Lincoln Business School.
