ESADE Alumni invites you to this Refresher Programme session “Innovation and disruption leadership. Leadership as a management aid in this new era, by Andrés Raya (MBA 89), academic assistant in ESADE’s department of people management and organisation, and director of the Partners’ Programme.
These are special times. The new normal is for the speed and intensity of change to be unchartered territory. The increase in productivity expected from automation and Artificial Intelligence is the greatest that humanity has ever experienced, an increase perhaps only comparable to the one triggered by the shift from Palaeolithic to Neolithic society 8,000 to 12,000 years ago. Disruption in the business world and business models, in parallel with the automation of most jobs, paints an extremely interesting and challenging arena of change.
Against this backdrop, one might wonder whether leadership and people management can make a difference to both organisations and individuals, beyond the obvious need to adapt and the advisability of a positive, proactive and resilient attitude.
The answer is obviously YES.
Concepts and tools such as Kotter’s dual-operating system, change management as an on-going process, digital competences, gamification, storytelling and the new leadership mindset are paving the way for adopting all these changes, improving the attitude and ability of the people in this entire process and preparing us better for an uncertain but promising scenario.
This will be an inverted class, i.e. the materials provided must be studied before the session which will feature contents and answer participants’ queries.
Members may bring a guest
See you there!
