This years’ theme?
Building Networks
What does this mean? Great question. Success within an organization needs to have a culture that encourages networking. Not going out and schmoozing and passing out business cards but connecting to people within your organization that can make your work easier and make your work better!
Organizing the Organization
Natural hierarchies / flat structures
Leadership without politics; decisions without democracy
Freedom vs efficiency – exploding the myths of centralisation
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth – Performance measures that work
Unleashing People
Imagine, innovate, achieve – the trinity of creativity
Trust and partnership – employee ownership in action
The one who says no – redefining management power
Fighting fear – analysing what we give up when we change the way we work
Disruption & Change
Riding or drowning? The technology wave
Failing early and often – how to embed experimentation
Survival of the most open – mastering new tools, new skills & new challenges
Balancing short term responsiveness with long-term objectives
