Topic 1: Leading in Tough Times

CLOSED

Lecturer: Mike George
Date: April 23, 2020
Time: 10am – 4pm (CEST)
About this topic:

In addition to the task and people management dimensions, self-management is crucial to effective leadership. The crucial one to effective leadership is the recognition that you are the role model. You set the tone. If you are positive, confident and optimistic, your people are likely to behave the same way. If you display focus and determination, they are likely to follow suit. Remember, just as panic and despair are infectious, so are energy and enthusiasm.

Topic 2: Crisis: A Chance for Digitalization?

Lecturer: Nicolas Kfuri, PhD
Date: April 28, 2020
Time: 10am – 4pm (CEST)
About this topic:

Now you know you need to transform, but you are unsure about how to move forward. As a result of the pandemic, even companies that used to be “digitally lazy” will now have to step up their digital game: Video conferencing, document sharing, cloud solutions, information security – businesses across all industries, whether they like it or not, will have to use digital technologies to keep their operations running. The result will be a steep learning curve. Companies that have so far relied on outdated solutions will now experience the efficiency of digital tools. All of this is leading to a shift in mindset and pave the way for massive digitalization efforts in the years ahead.

Topic 3: Building Resilience through Strategic Foresights

Lecturer: Mark Esposito, PhD
Date: May 7, 2020
Time: 10am – 4pm (CEST)
About this topic:

The current pandemic won’t be just remembered for one of the most diffused and globally painful crisis, affecting at least a third of the world population. It will be remembered for the very beginning of the notion of systemic risks and failures that we will have concretely experienced. This new “skin in the game” requires an adjustment to the way we think, prepare and deliver responsiveness and new geometries of crises will surge. Are we ready? In this webinar we’ll discuss strategic tools designed to mitigate the impact of the unknowns and provide us with guidance for the waves ahead.

Lecturer: Terence Tse, PhD
Date: May 14, 2020
Time: 10am – 4pm (CEST)
About this topic:

The deepest recession since the financial crisis of 2008 is now all but unavoidable. The economic dynamics at all levels from macro to companies to individuals are to be profoundly affected. It is imperative to start thinking about the economic and financial impact to our societies and businesses as well as us personally. Just as important is developing the views and contemplating the actions needed to respond to the fundamental changes that we are all facing. Financial Leadership in the Current Crisis provides an analysis and discussion of how we can better prepare for the resulting threats -- and, perhaps, identify new opportunities.

Date: May 21, 2020
Time: 10am – 4pm (CEST)

Periods of heightened uncertainty can be stressful and hard to navigate. This course looks at some simple models of decision making to provide guidance on how to cope.

We may not be able to predict what is going to happen, but we can understand the potential impact and plan accordingly.
