The COVID pandemic has accelerated a change, which has been underway for a few years now, in which the idea and practice of professional work for the past 30 to 40 years have been completely revolutionized in an abrupt way.
The variables that have affected this change the most are:
-
The inability to work in the same physical location;
-
the growing need to collaborate remotely with colleagues, customers and other actors inside and outside the enterprise;
-
the broadening of professional networks due to globalization, competition and the complexity of our world;
-
the development of communication technologies, which have made wide transmission bandwidth available with the consequent development of more comprehensive, sophisticated and new-function cooperation applications;
-
the development of computer hardware technologies that have resumed growing in power according to Moore’s law (exponential);
-
The development of software technologies due to the previous point.
This revolution is profoundly changing the behaviors of the most capable(smart) people who see enabled by these technologies much more efficient, effective, and autonomous ways of working.
To managers who need to develop their leadership skills in an environment of strong change characterized by uncertainty, high dynamism and “digitization” of the way of working.
Clarify and deepen the principles of SMART LEADERSHIP
Make participants aware of what skills need to be “enhanced” in order to be a SMART LEADER or one
Initiate through initial training sessions a path of change toward SMART LEADERSHIP
This course is divided into two major areas of expertise:
- Work on self
- Working with others
It will be structured with ½-day online workshops in order not to occupy participants too long, and to keep engagement, participation and attention at the highest level. At the heart of the training modules will be some
valuable testimonies
that will serve to “trigger” the processes of reflection on changes and new skills. These “triggers” will be followed by SMART skills training experiences.
