Great leadership is crucial to the success of any organization. While what great leadership looks like differs from company to company, there are best practices frameworks, models, and tools that organizations could adopt to develop a blueprint for what is expected from the leaders across your organization—the leadership competencies they must possess and the behaviors they must display, to help you execute on your vision, your goals, and the culture you’re trying to build. A leadership development framework describes what leadership should look like within an organization. It can be thought of as a set of principles that define how a manager should lead their teams, as well as the competencies and skills they should possess. When it comes to defining this leadership framework though, there’s no one-size fits all approach. Instead, this framework needs to be aligned with your strategy and the culture you’re trying to create. Well, organizations without one will have inconsistent management styles across the board. The consequences of this can be detrimental—mistrust, lack of productivity, employee disengagement, resentment, a lack of psychological safety, and even low employee retention rates. The Disruptive Leadership Institute LLC New York, NY (DLI) in collaboration with the Centre for Executive Education (CEE) places cutting-edge research at its core, we produce rigorous, independent thinking to offer fresh perspectives on managing the leadership and organizational challenges in a highly disruptive and everchanging workplace of the future. The research outcomes and the best practices leadership frameworks, models, and tools are published in Research Reports, White Papers, and Books. Combining the power of innovative research techniques with a deep understanding of our client’s industries, our team of researchers and analysts from our extended global network of strategic partners of established human resource management and executive development consulting firms, we have been able to develop market-proven best practices leadership and organizational development frameworks, models and tools for an organization to meet the insurmountable challenges in an era of constant disruption and crisis.

“𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲” (“𝐏𝐏𝐓”) 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 https://lnkd.in/gCsQbHmX “When reviewing organizations that have undergone or are going through digital transformation, it has been shown that far less attention is dedicated to addressing the people and cultural aspects of change management and change leadership than the processes and technology behind the transformation. Businesses must adopt the “PPT” mantra, which is putting People ahead of Process and Technology. That said, conversations about managing employee experience as a core component of digital transformation have risen in recent years.” Sattar Bawany, Author of “Leadership in Disruptive Times: Negotiating the New Balance” (2023), Business Expert Press LLC, New York, NY. To evolve, organizations need to develop continuous change capabilities. For organizations seeking to scale and grow, not only should their Leaders inspire change and are effective “change agents.” Still, they also need to adopt an integrative and future-focused approach to their strategic redesign, allowing them to integrate structure, people, process, and technology (PPT) as leverage points to drive growth. Engaging leaders at all levels aligning their growth and disruptive mindsets and providing the relevant incentives to reinforce new behaviors go a long way toward executing large-scale organizational design efforts and growing the company. Many digital transformation efforts do not achieve their desired results because they concentrate on the process improvement strategies with the technology as an enabler but they ignore the people aspect of the change initiative.

Business Readiness (BR) is the Key for MBAs: This transition demands a significant rethinking of traditional business education, shifting from a focus on theoretical knowledge and case studies to emphasizing practical, real-world skills essential for navigating today’s complex business environment. The BR model centers on experiential learning, integrating internships, live projects, and simulations into the curriculum. These hands-on experiences enable students to confront real business challenges, equipping them with the skills necessary for their future careers. Additionally, digital literacy is a core component, ensuring that graduates are proficient in the latest tools and platforms crucial for implementing digital strategies and maintaining a competitive edge in a technology-driven world.   A key element of the BR transformation is the integration of sustainability and social responsibility into the curriculum. By aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the program prepares students to lead businesses that not only seek profitability but also positively impact society and the environment. This approach addresses the growing demand for businesses to operate in a responsible and sustainable manner. The BR curriculum also embraces an interdisciplinary approach, combining insights from fields such as technology, psychology, and ethics, which helps students develop a comprehensive perspective for making informed business decisions.   Agility and adaptability are fundamental to the BR model. Training in change management, scenario planning, and risk management prepares students to handle the uncertainties and rapid changes in today’s business landscape, ensuring they are well-equipped for both current and future challenges. Industry partnerships are vital to the success of the BR initiative. Collaborations with businesses provide students with valuable mentorship, real-world project experience, and insight into current industry trends, effectively bridging the gap between academic learning and practical application.   Assessment methods in the BR model are evolving, shifting from traditional exams to competency-based evaluations. These assessments gauge students’ ability to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios, ensuring they are not only knowledgeable but also skilled at applying their expertise effectively. The BR approach also promotes a mindset of innovation and risk-taking, preparing students to create and lead new ventures, drive growth, and advance innovation throughout their careers.

Unleash your organization's strategic potential through the power of continuous creative learning and improvement. 💡 Today's Featured Best Practice: Scenario Planning (23-slide PPT) -- https://lnkd.in/en3XUYTg This presentation is created by former McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte, EY, and Capgemini consultants. Explains a framework used by global strategy consulting firms to conduct Scenario Planning analysis and Scenario Planning workshops. Scenario Planning, also called Scenario Thinking or Scenario Analysis, is a Strategic Planning technique used to anticipate and prepare for potential future events and their impact on an organization, so that organizations can make flexible long-term plans. Scenario Planning involves creating a set of plausible scenarios or narratives that depict different future situations, which may be influenced by various external factors such as economic trends, technological advancements, social changes, or political developments. The purpose is to explore a range of possible futures and develop realistic, practical strategies to adapt and thrive in each scenario. Scenario Planning is a useful strategic framework for executives, because it helps them avoid being caught off guard by unexpected events or trends.

💡Honored by #introducing a #new #type of #manuscript 📚 for Journal of Business and Industrial Marketing to contribute bridging the well established #academic-#practitioner #gap in B2B settings. I want to thank the firm selected to explain how a B2B multinational (headquartered in Chile 🇨🇱) can articulate a global offering to achieve sustainable growth. Especial kudos to Roberto Lecaros Villarroel for the detailed information provided during the in-depth interview. Academics should assess if this new approach to research is interesting for them. All approaches have pros and cons. I will discuss in detail this new approach during CBIM I. in Graz (12-14 June). I also appreciate the support from Wesley Johnston and Michael Ehret during the 2-year process of maturing the idea. IMI B2B - Instituto de Marketing Industrial J.

"While the calculation for gross margin is simple, understanding what’s behind it is what will make you a great businessperson. What is the product mix, customer mix, pricing mix, mix of distribution channels, and cost structure producing that number? Could any of them be changed to produce a greater gross margin? How about the material and labor costs? Could they be decreased (which would also increase the gross margin)?" I thought of you when I read this quote from "What the CEO Wants You to Know: How Your Company Really Works (English Edition)" by Ram Charan - #businessmindset #cogs #bostonmatrix #stayhungrystayfoolish

Strategic Planning requires a lot of organizational knowledge, deep analytical thinking, prioritizing, refinement of tasks, and assigning responsibilities. Can AI help? ChatGPTo1 vs Gemini. GPTo1 wins. ChatGPTo1 vs. Claude? GPTo1 wins. It was no contest. The process GPTo1 uses (for 78 seconds) was incredibly effective in producing super useful results that require very little editing. Here's what I gave the models: "You are an expert in strategic planning and have deep experience working on strategic plans for private schools and small non-profits. Based on the attached documents, your task is to 1. Build out the objectives, 2. Assign Tasks for personnel from the document "Roles and Responsibilities" attached and from the document "2024 Decision making Matrix" based on a RACI matrix, and 3. Include a detailed timeframe to accomplish each goal in the 5-year timeframe outlined in the document "Copy of Strategic Plan" attached." #StrategicPlanning #AIinBusiness #ChatGPT #LeadershipTools #OrganizationalEfficiency #AIComparison #Leadership #ChatGPTo1 #ClaudeAI #GeminiAI #ChatGPTo1UseCase #
