Join us on Thursday, March 19th for
The Competing Values Framework for HR Business Partners
with presenter Travis Standley
We’re excited to announce that Travis Standley will be joining us as our presenter this month! Travis will be leading a session on the Competing Values Framework, a model developed by researchers Quinn & Rohrbaugh (1983) that explores what makes organizations truly effective.
The framework’s core insight is powerful:
Organizations — and the people within them — achieve success not by maximizing a single value, but by balancing the creative tension between competing values. Travis will walk us through how this model applies to today’s workplaces and how HR leaders can use it to strengthen culture, leadership, and organizational performance.
Travis Standley is a Human Resources professional based in Idaho Falls, Idaho, where he lives with his wife and three children. He currently serves as a Senior Employee Relations Consultant at Mountain America Credit Union, where he helps leaders navigate complex workplace challenges with confidence and clarity.
