Programme overview and background
- Successful enterprise leaders combine a strong sense of vision with a capacity to understand the real challenges lying behind numerous contradictory facts. Leaders make immediate wise decisions and deliver results not only by themselves but also as the collective outcome of motivated teams.
- Most organisations are in a permanent adaptation mode - reacting and anticipating unexpected events. Real leaders lead the transformation of their organisations and at the same time:
• understand the new forces shaping our world
• design a pragmatic innovative and adaptive ‘value creating strategy’
• manage the day to day operation in a result driven approach without compromising with the fundamental objectives assigned by the shareholders
• lead teams by example while empowering each employee to deliver excellence
• address the increasingly complex requirements that maximize corporate social responsibility .
- We’ll be talking about ‘coopetition’ - temporary alliances with competitors, a means to meet today’s global challenges. This is a new challenge, and we’ll discuss how actions need to be measured against the level of investment and the cost of alternative solutions.
We encourage you to join us.
