Key takeaways — Abundance
- ✓ Gamitin ang Incentive Prizes at Gamification upang pabilisin ang pananaliksik at pag-unlad ng iyong organisasyon, na nag-aakit sa pinakamahusay na problem-solvers mula sa hindi tradisyunal na mga larangan sa iyong mga stratehikong hamon.
- ✓ Samantalahin ang Dematerialization, na nagpapakita na ang teknolohiya ay nagbibigay-daan upang makapaghatid ng mga serbisyong may mataas na halaga (tulad ng kamera o GPS) na halos walang karagdagang gastos sa pamamagitan ng pag-transform nito sa software.
- ✓ Ituon ang misyon ng iyong organisasyon sa Pagsusulusyon sa Malalaking Hamon, na nagtutugma sa paglago ng iyong kumpanya sa mga pinaka-urgent na pangangailangan ng 'Rising Billion' para sa isang malakihang estratehikong epekto.
Key takeaways — The Body Keeps the Score
- ✓ Kilalanin ang Physiological Basis of Behavior, na nagpapakita na ang mga reaksyon ng iyong koponan sa stress ay madalas na resulta ng malalim na nakabaong mga biological na pattern sa halip na puro propesyonal na lohika.
- ✓ Bigyang-diin ang Psychological and Somatic Safety sa inyong organisasyon, dahil hindi makakagawa ang utak ng tao ng mataas na antas ng estratehikong pag-iisip kapag ang katawan ay nasa estado ng perceived threat.
- ✓ Isakatuparan ang Self-Regulation Techniques bilang isang pangunahing kasanayan sa pamumuno, gamit ang mindfulness at body-awareness upang mapanatili ang iyong executive presence at kalinawan sa panahon ng mahahalagang organisasyonal na krisis.
