Nadim Habib
Professor, Nova School of Business and Economics
Winning in a New World - presentation
(Available any time from November 19 to 24)
While change has always been on the forefront of management thinking, the accelerating rate of change witnessed in the past two decades has put increasing pressure on leaders and organizations to re-think the way they approach strategic thinking, planning and organizational design. Unless we understand the nature of change, we cannot adjust the way we lead, manage and succeed.
Entrepreneurs have traditionally been seen as agile decision-makers, but they have also been seen as weaker in operational discipline and execution. Growing and scaling the business are significant challenges for any entrepreneur and will depend on their ability to build solid management practices into their business. Without great management, great ideas run the risk of becoming struggling businesses.
In this session, Nadim will first highlight how the world is changing and the impact it is having on business success, before deep diving into three fundamental skill-sets needed to win in this new world.
