PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

• How Do Great Companies/Leaders Happen: Most successful businesses are discovered, not planned. This session will conclude (wrongly) that successes are just luck in action. Explore how a successful business follows a clear path, along with entrepreneurial companies and established, innovative firms. What role can you play in the discovery process at your company? Discover the characteristics that make for success.
• Motivating Others to Perform: As they strive to inspire their employees to work harder and smarter, most managers rely on financial “carrots” as incentives. This session will explore alternative “psychological levers”—tools that truly motivate people to perform better while allowing for exceptions.
• The Challenge of Change: Change is a constant, and organizations need to stay on top. Yet companies often struggle to maintain the competitive edge because they find it difficult to revise their strategies to respond to threats. This session will address the difficulties in executing revolutionary and discontinuous change. Understand the essence of the success syndrome and the role of leadership in driving organizational renewal. It begins with a quick review of the evidence and provides a framework that companies can use to navigate change effectively.
• The Rise of Shareholder Activism: This session will discuss the dramatic increase in activist campaigns in the public markets in the U.S. as well as around the globe. We will examine how this has created a dramatic increase in pressure on the executives and boards for firms that face activism.
