NSCA XBO Experience
NSCA XBO Experience
NOV. 12-13 | ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Georgia Institute of Technology
NSCA, the leading not-for-profit association representing the commercial integration industry, is excited to announce the first-ever XBO (Excellence in Business Operations) Experience to address the industry’s ongoing workforce development challenges.
Dubbed an “un-conference,” the two-day XBO Experience provides a pathway for future integration firm leaders who face opportunities ahead—but need the right training and skills to succeed.
A collaboration between NSCA and Ignite, the XBO Experience will take place on Nov. 12-13 in Atlanta on the Georgia Tech campus. Here, rising industry stars can prepare for leadership positions, regardless of their job titles.
Attendees will learn what it takes to lead as they listen to discussions and conversations about topics like:
What Emotional Intelligence Is and Why All Leaders Need It
Understanding Communication Styles to Avoid Misinterpretation
Having Tough Conversations: How to Navigate Workplace Conflicts
Becoming a Globally Competent Leader to Boost Organizational Culture
Trust in the Workplace: Authority Can Make or Break It
Organizational Behaviors: Shaping a Foundation for Future Success
The Domino Effect: One Small Change to Help Everything Fall into Place
From Doing to Delegating: How to Lose Control Without Losing Control
Find Your Why: The What and How of Leadership Development
Each of these sessions are derived from NSCA’s Next Generation Academy, a set of integration company leadership education topics developed by seasoned industry leaders aimed at giving up-and-coming industry leaders an advantage. In addition to training that puts them on the leadership track, attendees will also participate in interactive learning that lets them roleplay and experience industry challenges with real-world relevancy.
The relationships they build through the XBO Experience will help them form new connections so they can continue to exchange ideas and sharpen their leadership skills long after the experience ends.
If integration firms have employees who show leadership potential, then they’re the perfect fit for the XBO Experience. If young professionals have recently taken on leadership roles but came in without much experience and didn’t receive lots of training for the position, then they can build those critical skills by attending the XBO Experience as well.
While event attendees may not be managers, directors or leaders today, they have a firm interest in and ability to move up within their companies and the commercial integration industry—with the right training and education to back them up.
Registration for the two-day event is $400 for NSCA members. For more information, contact NSCA at 800.446.6722 or visit www.nsca.org/events/xbo/.

General Session: The Domino Effect: One Small Change to Help Everything Fall into Place
Nov. 13 | 8 - 9 AM ET (60 min)
Learning how to constructively suggest and implement change and make decisions as a new leader can be a challenge. You want to ensure that the changes you recommend will be the best for your team and the company, but you don’t want to make changes that are too big or go too fast and cause more harm than good. We’ll discuss problem-solving methods that help you identify issues and their underlying causes. We’ll also evaluate the importance of making decisions based on data, how to measure the outcomes of those decisions, and the best ways to encourage others to embrace the change you suggest.

Breakout 5: From Doing to Delegating: How to Lose Control Without Losing Control
Nov. 13 | 9:15 – 10:30 AM (75 min)
Moving into leadership or management means taking on more tasks and responsibilities that have company-wide impact. To keep up, it’s often necessary to delegate some of your work to your employees. But delegation isn’t about assigning tasks. It’s about developing trust, growth, and a shared vision. Before you delegate, you need to help your team members learn new processes, learn and grow from their mistakes, and build their confidence so they can succeed on their own. We’ll examine the shift from employee to leader, the mechanics of delegation, and how to set yourself up to focus on culture, people, and data.
