Agile strategies for your people and organization

Whatever your activity, leaders and managers today are confronted by rapidly accelerating rates of complex change brought on by the global digital revolution. These changes can challenge our understanding of our place in the economic, social, or developmental spheres where we operate.

How do we maximize the benefits of our strengths in a new world?

Each organization has its own specific needs for change and the strategies that need to be applied. At the same time, we need to understand the digital revolution in a holistic way that integrates people and technology smoothly in a way that reaps maximum benefit from the strengths of each. Strategies will change as the technology evolves, at an ever-accelerating rate.

Join this workshop experience to identify, organize and choose the challenges you need to tackle, develop organizational strategies for today and tomorrow, and initiate practical actions that produce measurable results.

 

Who should attend?

If you manage people in your organization, if you are a leader, a policy maker, an educator, a CEO or an executive director, this workshop is for you. Regardless of your business’s purpose and content, we are confronted as leaders and managers today with the rapidly accelerating complexity caused by the global digital revolution. These changes constantly challenge our development opportunities within the economic and social structures in which we work.

It is specifically designed to provide synergy among participants, regardless of their activity or job title.

 

What will I experience?

You will participate in an exclusive workshop where you will share ideas, discover extraordinary people, and explore the delights of the Languedoc region of France.

  • Focus on change and growth in a digital world
  • Put yourself at the centre of organizational tranformation
  • Explore professional challenges and find your solutions amid a typical southern French village, enjoying a Mediterranean environment and living an intercultural experience in a select chambre d’hôtes/conference centre.
  • Discover Occitan culture, with options to attend a personalized wine-tasting, sample olive oil at the producer’s site, or enjoy a French food discovery, all with additional cultural information.
  • You will have personal time to focus on your own priorities and will be invited to use a professionally oriented silent period to reshape your human productivity in a technological world.
