Developing Successful Strategies Towards Becoming A Profitable, Self-Sustaini...Charged2020
Mark Mack & Murli Nathan, DestinHaus LLC
• During this workshop, we will look at the key challenges faced by the industries along the energy storage and smart-grid value-chains
• Using the collective power of cross-functional teams from different parts of the value-chain, we will brainstorm to identify the important issues and come up with creative, relevant solutions
• The goal is to make the value-chain profitable and selfsustaining
Being a leader of any organization today is a very demanding exercise, sometimes prohibitive if not equipped with the right skills. More and more often we find ourselves moving in little-known, uncertain, ambiguous contexts, where risks and opportunities do not reveal themselves for what they are, until at the last useful moment.
There has never been a time like the one we are experiencing today in which, for those leaders, it is not mandatory to develop real superpowers that allow them to move with greater confidence, agility and sensitivity in those contexts, such as to increase their probability of success for their organizations.
In this talk we will understand how to develop those superpowers.
We will talk about how proceeding iteratively by trial and error equips us with an infrared view capable of making us see through the fog of complexity.
We will discuss how an approach oriented to continuous learning develops the latest generation of tactile sensors to help us orient ourselves with agility in uncertainty.
We will appreciate how understanding the different contexts in which we are immersed exponentially increases our ability to focus and analyze in making the right decisions.
Finally, we will evaluate how the definition of open and adaptive strategies provides organizations with the ability to flex and stretch within the markets in search of the best opportunities.
Favoring the Emergence through Agile ScaffoldingEmiliano Soldi
The frameworks for scaling Agile in organizations are certainly an excellent tool on which to leverage to develop strategic skills such as market adaptation, innovation and the reduction of product creation times; characteristics that, in all likelihood, will be able to significantly raise the level of general customer satisfaction.
Not a few times, alas, we found ourselves having to deal with practices suggested by those same frameworks that did not fit well with the circumstances and environment of reference. In those cases it is of little use to abandon one framework in favor of another as, in most cases, we would face new failures and a sense of frustration squared.
In business contexts where a minimum but sufficient Agile adoption maturity has been reached to be defined as practitioners, it is certainly worth experimenting with new approaches.
In this deck we will talk about how it is possible to encourage the emergence of emerging practices by teams in their native contexts, and which allow to scale Agile in a more organic and coordinated way, to achieve the above benefits, without the risk of rejection and decreasing to a minimum the inefficiencies due to lack of alignment, collaboration and communication.
We will use the example of "biological scaffolding" to explain how in a human body, in a completely natural way, it is possible to influence a system from the inside, cellular in that case, towards certain directions and behaviors, avoiding invasive, constricting interventions or structures or limiting.
We will use that concept as a metaphor to apply to Agile transformations.
Why do communication strategies often not work? How is a vision different than a mission statement? How can marketing materials, websites, and social media interactions reflect this vision? How can you tap into deeper emotion and motivation for donors, stakeholders, employees, and volunteers? This webinar will explore what is beneath and beyond strategy – how to become more digitally and operationally aligned with what matters.

Purpose Driven Leadership-The Solution to Global Problems
In this talk that I presented at the Rotary Club of London, I shared why activating purpose and shared values in each leader and employee is the key to driving positive social economic changes that are needed globally.
I also shared why Purpose-Led Leadership is the key to the global transformations needed to resolve some of the world greatest problems we face today. How by aligning our inner being, quieting the mind, balancing our perceptions and emotions we can lead purposefully and drive the changes needed to better our future and look after our planet.
The world doesn’t need more power-driven leaders, but purpose-driven leaders who can solve real-world issues. The key challenge for businesses globally is how to get more purpose-driven leaders that realise they are there to make a difference in the world, to be the compass that direct company towards a desired outcome that is purpose driven.
The pressures are greater today than they’ve ever been on CEOs to produce short-term results but it’s really not about that. It’ about having a company that’s going to solve actual social problems through the work the company does and that requires a company with commitment to purpose throughout the entire organisation.
In a highly globalised world we live in today facing numerous challenges, purpose is what unites people to work towards a common future. To have purpose is to give meaning to the goals we are striving to achieve together. Purposeful and meaningful work is becoming more and more important worldwide. According to Youth Speak, the global millennial insight survey, young people rated meaningful work as the 2nd most important factor in the first 5 years of their career.
In business, I learned from many mistakes that I made that the aim is to do business with people who believe what you believe.
Abraham Maslow had it right. Once our physical needs are met, we long for love, belonging, esteem and finally what Maslow called “self-actualization”–that our lives count.
To learn more about how to activate purpose in leadership and in people grab your copies of A Path to Wisdom and #Loneliness and start learning about TJS Evolutionary Method and apply daily some of key universal principles shared in the books.

Transforming the quality of development conversations at scaleHuman Capital Media
Companies everywhere are searching for ways to improve employee performance. Many look towards employee ratings and bonuses for the solution, but find this simply isn’t moving the needle as desired. Perhaps the problem is we’ve been tinkering around the edges rather than tackling the issue where it’s hardest: improving the quality of managerial conversations.
Global Footprints: Navigating Leadership for the futureCheryl Doig
This lead paper explores critical capabilities that leaders will need to thrive in a networked, global environment. We must forge new pathways, stepping through challenges with courage and looking to the possibilities – personally and professionally. What are some of the trends and how might leaders operate in future landscapes? What is important to focus on and why is it important right now?
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Bill Conaty
on Why Smart Leaders put People Before Numbers
“My main job was developing talent.
I was a gardener providing water
and other nourishment to our top
750 people. Of course, I had to pull
out some weeds, too.”
—Jack Welch
In the fast-changing global marketplace, the ability to create a steady,
self-renewing stream of leaders is the only way for an organization to
gain a lasting, competitive edge. Bill Conaty, a GE veteran who helped
shape the modern face of human resources, presents strategies to
attract and nurture top talent, and develop business leaders. If talent
is the leading indicator of whether a business is up or down (and
it is)… do you know how to accurately judge raw human talent and
develop that talent? Successful leaders put people before numbers for
the simple reason that it is talent that delivers the numbers. Success
comes from those who are able to extract meaning from the events
and forces affecting a business, and who are able to look at the world
and assess the risks to take and the risks to avoid.
During this program you will learn:
• A process to convert subjective judgment about a person’s talent
into an objective set of observations that can predict success
• How to assess the characteristics and capabilities of rising stars and
new hires
• How to map out a course for unleashing the full potential of a
workforce and taking any business, in any industry, to the next

Bill Conaty was legendary for his ability to attract and nurture top tal-
ent and develop business leaders. As senior vice president for Human
Resources at GE from 1993 to 2007, he was responsible for all human
resources activities for GE’s 330,000 employees worldwide. One of the
most visible achievements was successfully managing the CEO suc-
cession and transition process from the legendary Jack Welch to Jeff
Immelt. The cover story in Human Resource Executive magazine hailed
his handling of “one of the most important CEO succession challenges
of the century.” In 2004, Bill Conaty was named Human Resources
Executive of the Year. In great measure due to the management
development and training programs Bill engineered, BusinessWeek
declared that GE had “the most talent-rich management bench in the
world.” Bill is the co-author, with Ram Charan, of The Talent Masters:
Why Smart Leaders Put People Before Numbers which relays valuable
principles for creating a steady, self-renewing stream of leaders.

HIGH IMPACT LEADERSHIP MODEL™
The foundation that drives the selection of our speaker lineup is the High Impact Leadership Model (HILM). The
HILM, co-developed by Linkage and Warren Bennis, is based on over 50 years of empirical observation into the
behavior and performance of hundreds of thousands of managers and leaders around the world.
This observation culminated in a 2-year, longitudinal study comparing managers and leaders that consistently
delivered better results with those who delivered only average results. The behavior-based competencies and
skills found to differentiate the two sets make up the competencies, skills, and responsibilities in the model.
Over the last 12 years, the HILM has been validated and refined through application with over 100,000
thousand leaders and managers around the world making it one of the most reliable and valid leadership
frameworks available today.
Each speaker within this series seeks to cover one of these areas
but will touch upon several others within their presentation. Many
companies will identify the areas that need to be covered within
their organization and combine our upcoming lineup with our
extensive on demand library to construct a customized,
focused internal leadership series.
