Reinventing the Business Model: Leading in the New Landscape
In the new economic, political and societal landscape, organisations are rethinking their strategies in response to advancements in technology, social and cultural trends, political sensitivities and the rise of platforms and ecosystems.
The need to reinvent is greater than ever before which makes leadership increasingly complex and requires different skills and competencies. HR can help leadership reflect on what we have learned about new ways of working and the implications for leadership.
We will be joined by Professor Mark Greeven and Professor Katharina Lange; world-class experts from IMD Business School, to discuss and debate innovation in a crisis, transformation and the difficulties leaders face making decisions in today’s business environment.
Learning objectives:
- Reflect on what we have learnt during the crisis and what lessons HR can embed within the DNA of their companies to help build more agile, resilient and successful organisations.
- Explore the ways some of the most successful organisations embrace change in order to thrive.
- Discover practical ways HR can support leadership and develop business culture in response to change.
- See how they can support organisational leaders to manage dilemmas and trade-offs in the new landscape.
