Die "Dritte Kultur" im Management: HR-Konzepte für die Zukunft

Über den Vortrag
Unmittelbar nach dem Ausbruch der Finanzkrise wurden Forderungen nach einem neuen Typus des Management und einer neuen Wirtschaftskultur laut. Die Forderung erging sich zum Teil sogar in der Neu-Definition des Kapitalismus. Eine tiefer gehende Analyse zeigt jedoch, dass weitgehend unbeachtet von der öffentlichen Debatte schon seit Jahren ein derartiges Bild innovativer und zukunftssicherer Wirtschaftskultur diskutiert wird – also längst vor dem Ausbruch der Finanzkrise. Es ist das Modell einer kommunikativen Innovationskultur auf der Grundlage eines nachhaltigen Managements - vor allem eines nachhaltigen Personalmanagements. Anhand hochaktueller Befunde aus eigenen Projekten wird Holger Rust zeigen, welche Ansichten und Absichten die nächste Führungsgeneration pflegt und was zu tun ist, um die jungen ambitionierten Personen für ein Unternehmen zu interessieren und ihre Potenziale zu aktivieren.

Über den Vortrag
At the opening of the twenty-first century, the very nature of leadership in the world is changing. One of the most significant changes is the increasing number of women assuming senior level leadership positions in countries and companies worldwide. Among political leaders, for example, over 60 percent of women who have ever served their country as president or prime minister have come into office within just the last decade. Similarly, the number of women leading the world’s largest firms is increasing, albeit from a very low starting point. In this session, we look at the changing nature of global leadership and the increasingly prominent role of women in business and government. What do these changes mean for our global society? For our companies? And for the very nature of global leadership? What does it mean for how each of can and will expresses our leadership in the world?

Forum 8, Halle 5.2
Über den Vortrag
This speech gives insight into the vital people aspects and needs from the CEO’s perspective. HR and OD professionals have an even more vital job to do in these times to help get the changed focus and priorities right - and the cost of getting it wrong is higher than it’s ever been. This programme focuses on the really important, but not necessarily the most obvious or fashionable, issues, tools and techniques, to define the real, and pivotal, job the HR professional needs to do now. The programme’s twin themes of ‘staying in the helicopter’ and ‘keep it simple’ are reinforced through thoughts provoking practical models, real life examples and focused international research. Delegates leave with a specific, simple and relevant tool to help them to stay in the helicopter - and help their organization to not just survive but thrive through the downturn.

Über den Vortrag
Die zunehmende Vernetzungsdichte in den globalen Märkten treibt Komplexität und Dynamik über alle Lebensbereiche hinweg. Es wird immer schwieriger den Überblick zu behalten. Vorher zu sagen, wohin die Entwicklung geht, scheint nahezu unmöglich. Nicht selten wird das, was gerade noch als beste Lösung galt, schon im nächsten Moment als unverantwortlich gebrandmarkt. Entscheidungen unter der Bedingung großer Unsicherheit zu treffen, ist zur alltäglichen Aufgabe geworden. Die Bedeutung stabilisierender Wertesysteme steigt – individuell ebenso wie kulturell. Prof. Peter Kruse benennt zwei Erfolgsstrategien zur Bewältigung der Herausforderungen: 1. Die systematische Erfassung der unbewussten emotionalen Präferenzen der Menschen und 2. die Bildung von Kompetenznetzwerken zur Nutzung kollektiver Intelligenz. Aus der ungewöhnlichen Perspektive eines Hirnforschers, Beraters und Unternehmers vertritt er provokante Thesen und erläutert praktische Beispiele.
