Description:
Future is here and it's now. And the new future is coming after. Companies like Zappos, Amazon, Google, Apple are showing the way to it. What's the secret? It's not hidden, it is actually easy to see. Great companies align with emerging trends, take more risks, fail fast and learn, they build internal cultures and teams that are able to work with new complexities and dynamic change. What they do different? How can we help our companies to be like them.
We will introduce a new holistic wheel of 24 core competencies for next generation business. These competencies are the must-have skills for everyone that works within a new business context. Each of us need to open up new paths of opportunity, new areas of research, ways to prototype and test ideas, quick validation, so that the enterprise has momentum for innovation and value creation. We also use our soft skills and leadership competencies to build high commitment and trust in cooperative and co-creative teams. This is the future, and it is now. Would you like to hear more about these and other next generation business competencies. Join us. Join us into the new future. Because it is closer than you maybe think.
