Topic/Structure
Managing Risk is everyone’s responsibility
Every business face uncertainty and risk is everyone’s problem. It’s no secret: Entrepreneurship involves inherent risk. Yet, this is the most crucial time to work on reprogramming your brain to deal with uncertainty, so you can pivot, learn from your failure, and move toward success. An entrepreneurial mindset empowers you to take bold risks, use the IAM framework to understand risk management to accelerate change, and advance yourself, your team, and your organization.
Re-invent your offerings to align with sustainability and digitalization
Maintaining an entrepreneurial mindset enables you to assess your customers’ needs and develop new ways to create new products or adapt your current offerings. In any organization, a conscious effort is required to fight off stagnation. As markets shift and customers’ needs change, learning practices from entrepreneurs can help keep your business sustainable. Learn from Timbre Group how they re-examined the customer journey and created more sustainable offerings to keep business forward.
How to gain financial literacy to elevate decision making
As organizations and businesses become more global and increasingly disparate, professionals must have a firm grasp of finance to ensure that they maximize value. They are exploring the diverse financial challenges facing today's entrepreneurs. The topics to cover aim to give professionals who are not financial specialists an understanding of the financial consequences of strategic decisions and equip them with tools to integrate the financial approach into their decision-making. Learn how to communicate effectively with those in finance and accounting to ensure that your functions are better integrated, significantly boosting the firm’s overall value.
Practical Framework to make change work
We all aspire to drive change in our career or dynamic business environment, but a few of these change efforts have succeeded. Most of us don’t know how to go about it—learning from the pitfalls of why change efforts fail so you can identify ingredients and resources to help you to implement change in your role effectively.
Leading from the middle - Framework to influence across the organization
To navigate the magnitude of challenges from the pandemic, entrepreneurs are excellent at influencing all stakeholders; real examples from Danny on how he manages his communications with teams, tenants, landlords, musicians, suppliers, and shareholders to create mutual trust and alignment. Professionals can learn how to influence the middle space from these practical tips. As we report to those more senior in the hierarchy and direct or facilitate the work of those more junior, we exert various forms of Leadership that advance our organizations' careers.
How to create Productive Conflict
To manage differences and conflict, we will share how to identify real insight about the underlying issues and explore creative ideas to conduct these tough conversations. The role of power, whether we have high power or low power in a particular situation, creates power-conflict traps. Learn how to navigate these conflict landscapes with some practical framework and real experiences from industry leaders.
