Are all organisational cultures focused on high performance teams? Is yours?

Join us for this special skills-based workshop, as well as a chance to catch up and network with other professionals in person. Leading High-Performance Teams and Cultures is designed for CEIBS alumni to continue their learning journey after graduation. Leading teams and organisations is challenging, not all teams are “high-performance” ones, nor do all organisational cultures focus on high performance. This workshop offers a series of well-crafted exercises, discussions and mini-workshops to help you develop high-performance teams and cultures in your organisations. This interactive session will teach you how to foster teamwork through assessments for self-awareness and appreciation of diversity in communication styles, focus on your personal development through learning more about your strengths, spot strengths in your teams and peers, and recognise how each person in your professional and private ecosystem contributes to the collective culture.

About the Webinar

The economy is changing and growing rapidly with the advance of the current digital environment including the use of artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies. In order to adapt and thrive in this changing environment, organizations have increasingly considered new business models that is configured around data as a core component of the firm’s competitive advantage.

However, to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by the new digital age, organizations also need to transform its design, structure, culture and how talent is used to fully become a digital organization that can innovate and respond rapidly to the various opportunities that can arise from digital insights. Such challenge is more than learning about and developing capabilities in new technologies, but also includes how to motivate and design work for employees to use and capture the advantages of this new technology and ways of working.

China is a world leader in providing an environment for organizations to experiment and quickly make innovations in organizational design to achieve this goal. In this lecture, we examine how technology has provided opportunities for a new business model that revolves around data and the implications of this change for organizational design, employees and jobs in this new digital era. Specifically, we explore the opportunities and challenges that new technology in managing the digital environment presents to the workforce and how such technology and human capital needs to be integrated in order to create a competitive advantage for the firm.

When I moved from Portugal to Asia in 2015, I could have never imagined that one day I would be in China pursuing my MBA. Fast forward six years, and now finally in Shanghai, I couldn’t be happier with my decision – if anything, I wish I would have done it earlier in my life.
