Do you want to explore the game-changing topic of capabilty modeling in full depth? Join James Dowling and Rich Lynch and their fifty years of experience in strategic capability modeling next Tuesday 7 pm CET (Paris)! ------------------------------------ For decades, colleagues and I have used capabilities as our Multi-Tool to open business leaders minds to the topic of architecture and then use capabilities to realize architecture and take strategy to desired results. This campfire discussion, and we hope for it to be a discussion, in part lead by you, to demystify capabilities. Jim Dowling and others will present a point of view on capabilities and connect the dots from our POV to EDGY Facets, Facet Elements, and Intersections. We will present examples of application ranging from helping a group of micro-brewers create a dominant US beer brand to saving a global hospitality company from hostile takeover and break-up. You are encouraged to send us "How would I?" "How did you?" "What do you mean by?" and other questions and challenges that you experience or just want to explore. The program is scheduled for one-hour, much of that will be conversation. Presenters will stay online for another thirty to forty-five minutes to respond to your inquiries. So, sign up and prime the pump with your questions about EDGY and its Capability Element. The Know, Feel, Do: Know: Capabilities are powerful in many ways when thoughtfully discovered, documented, and related to other EDGY Facets.

2024 IMD World Competitiveness Ranking: A competitiveness ranking is essential because an economy's competitiveness encompasses more than just GDP and productivity; it includes political, social, and cultural dimensions that impact enterprises. Governments contribute by creating environments with efficient infrastructure, institutions, and policies that foster sustainable value creation. The IMD Ranking, established 36 years ago, offers actionable data analysis to benchmark and expose trends, aiding economies in optimizing their competencies for long-term value creation. The 2024 edition, released in June, covers 67 global economies, including new entrants Ghana, Nigeria, and Puerto Rico, serving as a worldwide reference on economic competitiveness.

How to learn about the #leaders of the #future? Convinced that we need to understand the true motivations of future leaders, we partnered with INSEAD to identify the drivers of MBA applicants and assess their fit with the school's DNA. What we have observed in this pool of young professionals over the past 5 years resonates with what we are hearing from #GenZ. They are moved by: - #positiveimpact on society and the environment - Cutting-edge #technologies that foster a culture of creativity and continuous improvement - #Diversity and #inclusion of different backgrounds, perspectives and ideas. - Continuous #learning and #development. What are the implications for organisations? Here are our suggestions:

Leaders are now expected to navigate this uncertainty, turn challenges into opportunities, reduce costs, and drive growth - all while adapting to even more remote work and transforming organizations. Leaders of tomorrow need skills and mindsets that weren’t even on the radar a decade ago or at least not prioritized as of today. As we look to the future, here are some trends shaping today’s work and leadership: • Social Impact: Expectations are higher than ever for organizations to prioritize climate action, diversity and inclusion, and community impact. • Global Hybrid Workplaces: Embracing flexibility and collaboration across borders. • Continuous Learning: We’re all lifelong learners. • Multi-Generational Teams: Bridge both cultural and generational diversity. • Rapid Change: Leaders must adapt faster than ever. Key Skills for Future Leaders: • Digital Transformation: Digital know-how is a basic requirement. • Soft Skills and Empathy: Creating environments where employees feel safe to explore, experiment, and innovate. • Adaptability & Lifelong Learning: Stay curious and open to growth. • Communication Experts: The ability to clarify, connect, and inspire at all levels across diversities. • Focused Leadership in Uncertainty: Balancing adaptability with a clear, steady vision. Taking Action: • Assess Culture: Ensure safety, belonging, and respect. • Lead by Example: Reflect the values you want to see throughout your organization. • Build Trust: Be transparent and open with your team • Embrace New Perspectives: Involve diverse insights • Stay Visionary: See change as a chance to build purpose-driven organization. Leadership today goes beyond profitability. It’s about creating and fostering environments for growth, purpose, and with shared goals. At SAM Headhunting Finland, we are not only looking for people who fit the job description and have the required skills, but we find motivated candidates who fit your company's culture and values ​​and, above all, ensure your future success. If your organization is ready for its next leadership transformation, let’s connect to discuss finding someone who’s prepared to lead with purpose and confidence in these uncertain times. We’re based in Keilaranta and would be happy to continue the conversation in person! #leadership #diversity #valuethroughpeople #culturefit #executivesearch #directsearch #interimservices

In the article "How To Handle Underperforming Directors" published on "Corporate Board Member", author comments "PwC’s 2024 Annual Corporate Directors Survey". This article and PwC’s Survey will be useful to the Chairs and members of the Boards. The questions for self-assessment of Board members mentioned in the article especially attract attention: - “How engaged have I been on various board committees?” - “Is my expertise making a difference at this company?” - “Am I contributing insight or questions that are helping the board make better decisions?” - “Is there any additional responsibility that I can take on to help this board be more effective?” Subscribe to "Boardroom with Sergiy Bulavin (UA)" channel:  Whatsapp: https://lnkd.in/dc-nNqqU Viber: https://lnkd.in/d2YXYJzU Telegram: https://lnkd.in/dHVXUyJs All Content: https://lnkd.in/dhtRJ7AQ https://lnkd.in/dQjqqKRC

Consolidation in the fiber to the home (FTTH) market presents significant value creation potential for both players and investors by limiting overbuild in competitive markets, accelerating growth in nascent ones, and achieving efficiency gains through economies of scale. With tightening market conditions and ambitious growth targets, efficient post-merger integration (PMI) is crucial for synergy creation. Arthur D. Little discusses here: https://lnkd.in/dXfcXpD9 #fiber #FTTH #PMI

In private equity-backed businesses, leadership teams are crucial to driving success. But can you predict their performance? The research behind our PACE behavioural assessment shows that high-performance comes down to four core behaviours: Pragmatism, Agility, Curiosity, and Execution. But what do these behaviours actually mean? 🎯 Pragmatic leaders are outcome-focused, able to drive results even in uncertain situations 🎯 Agility means constantly reassessing the market and pivoting as needed. 🎯 Curious leaders embrace ambiguity, exploring new solutions and thinking divergently. 🎯 Those high in Execution excel at turning ideas into action, meeting challenges head-on. Our PACE product helps our private equity Clients better assess leadership teams, aligning their strengths and identifying gaps. We provide valuable insights into a team’s behavioural profile, allowing faster, data-driven decisions that propel businesses towards growth and value creation. Interested to find out more?

Business schools need academic rigor, but that is only the start – knowledge without action is futile. Do you agree? At INSEAD, we embed sustainability deeply into our teaching and #research in ways that drive action, and hence, impact in the business world: 💚 As the capstone to their curriculum, #MBA students play roles of company leaders solving strategic sustainability challenges, bridging the think-do gap faced by many business leaders today: https://lnkd.in/gtU_mxWe 💚 Initiatives such as the Master Strategist Day (MSD) see students working with real-world organisations and #socialenterprises, learning through hands-on experience and achieving real-world impact: https://lnkd.in/gvx6chiJ 💚 Our pioneering Business Sustainability Programme is catered to C-suite and senior executives, inspiring businesses from the top-down: https://lnkd.in/gGAWBTGB 💚 Our #faculty and their research has helped companies implement transformations for good (our Professors Atalay Atasu and Luk Van Wassenhove even had a hand in advising the European regulations on the circular economy!). If you were a #businessschool student today, how else would you want #sustainability to be integrated into your learning experience?
