ICBE Presents
Transforming Ireland’s Global Ambition
Building on our Leadership Capabilities: Taking Ownership of our Future
A generation ago, a business leaders' job was to keep their head down and focus on the business. In today's world, business leaders need a different mindset and strategic toolkit to be successful and enduringly sustainable.
This virtual dialogue invites leaders and managers perspectives on how to collaborate and adapt to changing corporate dynamics, shifts in expectations and the VUCA world (velocity, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity), which is opening Ireland to new opportunities to lead from the front, not just at a national site level, but to develop greater influence and scope within their wider Corporate business as the global context pivots and adjusts to new times and demands.
Now is the time to become effective and strategic role models and change leaders, bringing new value to help organisations anticipate continued seismic change.
Participants are invited to join our speakers in a candid sharing of their personal experiences of challenges and opportunities that presented themselves, how they stepped up to lead innovation from new places and grow their scope within the wider corporate organisation.
The speakers will also share their growth journey in developing themselves as leaders, how cross functional and cross-organisation learning groups can accelerate success, and what they learnt about engaging and influencing change, at a corporate and global level.
A case study on an ongoing transformation programme in Boston Scientific, an ICBE Member company, will be presented to further illustrate how an Irish site is adapting and transforming it’s product development model.
Facilitated by Anton Savage, this promises to be a practical, informative, insightful and challenging ICBE seminar.
