LEADERSHIP IN TURBULENT TIMES
Events such as the 2007-2008 financial crisis, Hurricane Katrina, and the COVID-19 pandemic left uncertain and high-impact consequences for organizations, including physical, psychological, and material consequences for their members, communities, stakeholders and business eco-systems. Because of the increased prevalence of similar events organizations and their leaders must urgently develop the resilience to understand, adapt to, recover from, transfigure themselves and even capitalize on these events.
In the program “REGENESIS: Leadership in Turbulent Times”, participants will go through a sensorial and immersive learning journey to appreciate and experience the various facets of organizational resilience, from a leadership perspective—with a focus on motivational, cognitive, and behavioral enablers—to design perspective—with a focus on organizational structure and technology—to a community perspective—with a focus on ethical considerations and stakeholder involvement. Physical spaces will be used to create resilience-related sensorial and interactive experiences to stimulate awareness and reflection around some of the enablers listed above. Storytelling from representatives of organizations whose daily reality revolves around adapting to extreme contexts will be used to guide fire chat discussions and brainstorming exercises. Participants will leave the program with practical knowledge and skills for improving their own resilience and the resilience of their organizations.
Participants will emerge from this program with a stronger understanding of:
How leaders respond in times of crisis when the brain is in “hijack” mode and how this can have detrimental effects to an organization’s crisis response.
A systems approach to the role of leadership in shaping the motivational, cognitive and affective processes in building organizational resilience.
The potential of Frontier technologies to impact human life, diseases and crop yields in building a sustainable future.
