BACKGROUND INFORMATIONIn the current VUCA environment, we all need two sets of eyes: one set to focus on the present, and the other to focus on the future. This is true both for an organisation's leadership team, who have to navigate an organisation through a very competitive landscape and ongoing disruption, maintaining efficiency and productivity on the one hand, and driving innovation and adaptability on the other. Similarly, individuals can no longer rest on their laurels but need to be rethinking their skillset and looking for upskilling opportunities as technology and automation disrupt their jobs.OBJECTIVE OF THE SESSIONBy the end of this session, participants will have more insights into the tensions and paradox afflicting organisations and individuals, which are proving to be very challenging. Additionally they will have improved perspective on the leadership style, organisational design and capabilities required to build an ambidextrous organisationTOPICS ON THE AGENDASense-making: the VUCA environmentUnderstanding the leadership paradoxLeadership stylesPrioritising creativity and innovationRethinking learning
