“If only I'd known...” how many times in your career have you heard - or spoken - words to that effect?'
The business world is changing faster than ever before. This presents managers with new challenges. By far the most significant is the need to manage the unknown, as well as the known. Technological upheaval, rapid staff turnover and economic turbulence are just part of the unpredictable picture that you are faced with, as a manager in the twenty-first century.
The good news is that INSEAD offers a compass to navigate your projects, processes and people through the storm of uncertainty. Professor Michael Pich’s latest research into companies from industries with high degrees of unpredictability has uncovered some proven techniques and strategies. These can enable executives from all sectors and at all levels to manage the unknowns of their business.
Professor Pich’s highly interactive evening seminar will suggest some innovative tools such as ‘uncertainty profiles’, which can help you to adapt your management style for the level and type of uncertainty involved. It also covers issues such as: going beyond risk management; small variations with big impacts; turning unforeseen uncertainties into foreseen possibilities; and preventing the unknown from turning into chaos.
In short, the event won’t remove all your uncertainties. But it will give you some ideas for a Plan B. It offers a fresh perspective, grounded in the real world, which could improve your chances of management success.
The presentation will conclude by showing how INSEAD incorporates managing for uncertainty into its General Management Programmes for executives. It will also demonstrate how these programmes can contribute to developing managers in your organisation.
Please join us for this unique opportunity to sample the INSEAD experience and gain some powerful business insights at the same time.
