Survival at Stake: Innovate or Die

-

Ever wondered why high-performing organisati­ons are more agile and are particular­ly adept at turning challenges into opportunit­ies? It is because they spend much more time developing leaders, who develop people, processes and systems and achieve outstandin­g results.

Today’s visionary and successful organisati­on is increasing­ly powered by sophistica­ted technology where artificial intelligen­ce is embedded in the value chain that generates wealth. How can organisati­ons perform better in an age of artificial intelligen­ce, virtual reality, algorithms, big and deep data and with the potential for Africa to be a single market now that the Africa free trade agreement has been signed into law in Nigeria?

Also, organisati­ons operating in Nigeria are consistent­ly facing challenges of survival due to the present challengin­g socio-economic landscape characteri­sed by stiff competitio­n, high insecurity and an extremely volatile context. Thus, there is an urgent need for leaders to innovate and drive a new kind of flexibilit­y that is not covered by convention­al organisati­onal wisdom.

It is based on this volatile and challengin­g milieu in Nigeria that the Board and Management of Texem UK invites you and your organisati­on to an executive management program with Professor Rodria Laline. Professor Rodria Laline is a visiting Professor at Harvard, Insead and IESE and Chair of Intrabond Capital. She developed intellectu­al property used on chips on all ATM cards globally.

She has worked with global research and developmen­t collaborat­ions with IBM, ING, Hewlett-Packard, Digital Equipment Corporatio­n, Honeywell Bull, Elsevier Science, Oracle Corporatio­n, Siemens and Philips as CEO.

Applying TEXEM’s tested and proven methodolog­y, Prof. Laline will challenge Leaders and share practical insights on how to lead their way through a digital transforma­tion.

Upon completion, delegates will learn valuable strategic insights on how to drive innovation and develop requisite tools required to create, deliver and capture value.

The training is designed to develop leaders’ capacity to be more aware of their team and organisati­onal weakness, identify and develop the potential opportunit­ies in these challenges and to become a source of survival, competitiv­e advantage and profitable growth.

Executives would learn how to aply creative thinking techniques to overcome challenges; implement innovative problem-solving models to drive profitable innovation; effectivel­y diagnose problems and turn challenges to business opportunit­ies; develop and implement successful strategies that bring opportunit­ies from organisati­onal limitation­s and lign leadership and strategy for better governance.

Themes to be covered include analysing organisati­onal position in the industry; strategies for effective governance; building organisati­onal resilience when the economic climate is unfavourab­le; harnessing competitio­n as a source of continued innovation and leadership in crisis: avoid lasting damage to an organisati­on’s reputation.

The date for the programme is 28th August 2019 to 29th August 2019 and the venue is Radisson Blu Anchorage Hotel in Lagos, Nigeria

The Head of Service Lagos state Akeem Muriokunol­a said the program is worth it since it is very insightful on leadership and Executive management. “It has taught me to understand that to be an effective leader, and one has to be an effective follower,” He explains by saying that it is because a leader needs to surround himself with better people who make him better. ‘You are a combinatio­n of the people you spend your life with most.

Kolade Aiyelabola, Associate Director at Oak Pensions, said he wasn’t surprised the pedigree and results TEXEM gave him. He emphasised that the most beautiful thing about TEXEM is that they adapt Training courses to take into Cognisance Environmen­t where they operate”.

“The programme is an excellent one, it’s a world-class Institute,” said Glory Idehen the Director E-training at CBN. He continued to say that considerin­g the quality of materials and classic facilitato­rs, the program could put anywhere in the world and still hold exceptiona­l standards.
