The format of this session is a court room, where the defendant is accused of having
ignored the need to establish a valid and sound “common vocabulary” in her organization. Key industry experts play the roles of court clerk, judge, prosecuting attorney, expert
witness, defense attorney, and defendant.
The audience is the jury. Before you vote, you must listen carefully and weigh the
evidence to determine if the defendant was negligent. Join us for this creative
presentation where you will:
•Understand why a common vocabulary is so urgent and the risks of not having one
•Hear suggestions and ideas for building a common vocabulary, associated challenges, and best practices
•Be inspired to commit to action for building a common vocabulary in your own organization
