The Roundtables for Experienced Managers is one of the three programs offered by the One Planet Education Networks (OPEN) in collaboration with the partners at Pelumbra Ltd.
IEDC alumni are invited to join the program, along with other experienced managers, to work on some of the details that make responsible ‘one planet’ leadership a real possibility in every job.
Ethos of the Roundtables
The Roundtables is an intensive workshop to look deeply and critically into the way you frame and tackle current managerial challenges, drawing on the insights of experienced peers from all over the world, and using advanced consulting methods to devise effective solutions. You will also visit businesses in the city and learn how managers from other sectors and cultures approach the conundrums that are inherent to managerial responsibility. As well as solutions to your own managerial challenges, you will learn techniques and receive materials that are immediately usable back in your workplace.
Each RoundTable is designed to explore how things get done in a cross-cultural world, and how to work more effectively. Participants and faculty collaborate in a structured process of analysis, representation, and friendly consulting.
To get the most from the Roundtable process, you need to have a managerial presence in organisational life, so you can test and develop experience with colleagues in senior management roles from different parts of the world.
The one-week module features:
• Thought-provoking debate and focused enquiry into your own organisation
• Unique networking opportunities for each participant
• Advanced skills in observation analysis and interpretation.
• Friendly consultation and feedback on your own managerial practice.
• Peer to peer learning
• International partnerships from business schools and global organisations
In the course participants will compare the way they frame and tackle their current managerial challenges, drawing on the insights of experienced peers from all over the world, and using advanced consulting methods to devise effective solutions. Appropriate conceptual frameworks are introduced by faculty to assist in this sense-making and analysis. It is from these real-world, real-time realities that we face into global challenges and possible, practical steps that suit each person’s unique circumstances.
Active participation, willingness to discuss current dilemmas, and especially curious, intelligent questioning of peers and faculty is required. It is for people who prefer an independent and creative approach to learning.
The contribution of each individual is key, as we are concerned with the reality of
leading and managing - however complex it might seem.
