1045 INTERACTIVE MINI THINK-TANK
Masters of the Marketplace
We live in an era of unprecedented change that is reshaping the relationship
between customers and companies, prompting forward-looking CEOs and CFOs
to question the very business they are in. To navigate this landscape, they need to
develop a flexible vision that allows them to pinpoint their company’s strengths as
market changes in front of their eyes.
This mini think tank session is a straightforward problem-solving session whereby
delegates can brainstorm and analyse potential factors to propose solutions. It
identifies underlying assumptions, and even challenges their essential validity.
Delegates learn to question the question itself. This will be an in-depth process and
goes beyond ‘how’ to ‘why’ and beyond ‘what’ to ‘what if’.

WHY YOU CANNOT MISS THIS EVENT
You have climbed mountains, now are you ready to do it again? Bouncing and
emerging back from the global financial recession, both CEOs and CFOs are
entrusted to be in the driver seat to manoeuvre their team of people on a journey
to excellence and race towards the future successfully. Risks and obstacles may
abound for this power couple but the future belong to those who keep striving
towards the finishing line on the racetrack.
Given the scale of challenges and uncertainties that today’s CEOs and CFOs
face in global markets, the one ‘must-have’ attribute they point to for success is
adaptability. While they are less confident about the overall prospects for the
global economy, many believe that there are significant opportunities for their
own business to grow in the year ahead due to their organisation’s growth and the
outlook for wider economic development. However, there is a lot more that needs
to be done to transform the continent’s potential for exponential growth into
tangible business opportunities. As the region regains its footing, the race is on for
the pairing of C-Suite to work hand-in-hand together in charting a new course for
durable organisational success. The stakes are high and there is a clarion call for
them to step up their game and lead the pack with both speed and endurance as
the dynamic duo.
Invest in our upcoming 3-day conference “Chief Series: Power Pairing of CEOs
and CFOs” which offers you a platform to enrich yourself with quintessential
insights on two key themes on ‘Looking Ahead in the CEO Agenda’ and ‘The
Modern CFO in Tomorrow’s Financial World’ with customised deep dive sessions
and chatrooms. Do not miss our interactive C-Suite Dialogue session which
discusses on ‘Managing Today’s Global Changes and Living Up to Heightened
Expectations’. We will be zooming into ‘Masters of the Marketplace’ through our
mini think tank session that explores issues on growth, partnership, diversity and
competition. Do not miss our brain-based technique post-conference workshop
that focuses on empowering the C-Suite. We look forward to welcoming you in
what promises to be the highlight of your 2016 calendar!

EXCLUSIVE COURSE - DAY THREE
wednesday 24th
February 2016
STEERING THE COURSE DURING UNCERTAIN TIMES: LEVERAGING ON
STRENGTHS OF KEY C-SUITE LEADERS
Toilluminateyourblindspotsandunconsciouswaysofinteractingwith
othersyoumustfirstdeveloppracticesofself-awareness,presence,focusand
attention.Thesepracticesenablegreatleadersandcommunicatorstobe
passionateaboutwhattheywanttoachieveandwhattheycareabout.They
knowtheirvaluesandpurpose.
Through conversation effective leaders also get to know the cares of their
stakeholders, what drives and motivates them, what they fear and what
distracts them from their shared mission. Having an appreciation of the
diversity of their team members, successful leaders flex to different working
and communication styles. Charting the course during uncertain times
requires C-Suite executives to create environments where their employees
can utilise their best strengths, can coordinate and collaborate to create the
desired results.
Sylvana Caloni will draw on leading edge thinking in the science and art
of human behaviour. You will also gain insights from your peers. You will
stretch beyond your comfort zone to embrace fresh perspectives and new
approaches to handle your challenges and to create the best solutions. The
workshop is designed to be fun and to recharge you. You will participate
in a range of activities including self-reflection, paired conversations
and physical exercises and movement. Sylvana invites you to be curious,
listen deeply, share your experiences, ask questions and suspend your
judgements to get the most from this workshop.
Part 1
Multiple Stakeholders: Know Yourself to Connect With and
Inspire Others
Faced by the stresses of challenging economic conditions and demanding
customers executives tend to revert to habits and “the way we do things
around here”. Yet at these times, precisely the opposite is necessary. In this
session you will take stock to uncover what gets in the way of your success.
What no longer serves you and what attitudes, behaviours and beliefs you
can adopt to be more effective.
Part 2
Language, Listening and Powerful Questioning
Organisations are networks of conversations. How often do you assume
that your colleagues share your assumptions, standards, experiences
and practices? How often do such assumptions lead to breakdowns in
communication, waste and the loss of value? By improving your listening
and questioning skills you will become more skilful in getting to the heart
of what matters.
Part 3
Turn your Emotion from a Saboteur into an Ally
In the corporate world, we tend to dismiss emotions as getting in the way
of rational decisions. Yet as human beings, we are continuously triggered
by emotions. Learn to recognise and gain valuable clues about how to
engage with your emotions and those of your colleagues. As a leader, it is
up to you to set the mood and tone to inspire possibility and new solutions.
Part 4
It Is Not “One Size Fits All”: Flexibility is the Key!
Do you pay much attention to your body or simply consider it the frame
that carries your head around? How you move and shape your body is
a major determinant of how you engage with others. Learning to be
grounded and choosing the most appropriate way to respond to the
situation will extend your repertoire of powerful moves.
