DIGITAL WORKSHOP

PROGRAMME

We can’t change reality, but we can change our attitude and, possibly, turn issues into opportunities. The slogan “don’t waste a crisis” has become popular again. While a bit naïve, there is some truth in it. The intent of this short workshop is seeing and explore Leading in Times of Coronavirus Emergencyways in which different Companies and leaders are managing through these times. No doubt, agility has never been more important.
  • Covid-19 exemplifies the complexity, velocity, and uncertainty of the world (business and personal) in which we live. Constantly learning and evolving our leadership skills is of paramount importance. This workshop will touch on the most critical ones
  • Real and concrete examples of how different Companies have responded to the crisis. While several challenges are common to all (e.g. liquidity, furloughs, safety for people first,..), preparedness (business continuity plans) and responses have been very different
  • Testimonials from senior leaders of Companies who have been severely affected by the crisis – hearing directly from people who had to face up to and take challenging decisions
Managers with any background (preferably 8-10+ years of experience)

LEARN AS YOU GO

Learn as you go is our new digital educational programme designed to provide ideas, “actionable” skills and tools that can be applied immediately in your professional environment to help organisations recover rapidly, particularly as a result of the current health emergency.

In the online workshops into which the Learn as you go programme is divided, through active engagement, participants can take inspiration from relevant topics, connect with managers, other professionals and entrepreneurs, and, at the same time, acquire specific skills which can be put to good use in their professions.

To be scheduled from June to December 2020, two types of digital workshops are available: Inspiring – for a “Learning from Practitioners” experience that allows an exchange of ideas and the sharing of best practices – and Empowering – with an applicative approach which, through practice, enables solutions to be found that can easily be applied and used in the workplace.
