7th APD National Executives Congress

Santiago de Compostela (Galicia Conference and Exhibition Center), Spain

The New Global Company. Keys to Competing in Today's World

Globalization is in the process of being redefined. 25 years after this phenomenon first took hold among us, the rules seem to have changed. A new world is emerging, driven by major technological and geopolitical changes.

In this context, it is urgent to ask ourselves what “The New Global Company” should be like and what it should have in order to keep up with the pace of competitiveness.

The 7th APD Congress for Executives will address the keys to this challenge and will recognize the role that businesspeople and managers will play in a social context where their influence – and also their responsibility – will be reinforced.

Keynote by Richard Straub, Founder and President Global Peter Drucker Forum

Managing for Social Impact

Sustainable and Ethical Leadership in the times of turbulence

09:30 HKT / 03:30 CET

Join us at the forthcoming conference on “Managing for Social Impact” April 12, 2024, jointly organized by The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong and MLA Academy, where we will explore the crucial question: “What is the purpose of business?” In a world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), it is essential to challenge the assumptions that underpin our existing paradigms and theories.

Peter Drucker, the father of modern management, asserts that the purpose of business is to create customer by doing the right thing. At the conference, we will delve into the concept and practices of human-centered management that integrate wealth creation, human fulfilments and social concerns, to address pressing issues such as climate crisis, social inequality, ethical governance (ESG) and sustainability concerns.

In these turbulent times, the future relies on visionary leadership and the unwavering commitment, convictions, and integrity of individuals. Join us at the Conference to meet management gurus and leaders, gain insights, exchange ideas and shape the role of future management and leadership in society. Together, we can create a more sustainable and inclusive future.

APRIL 19 – VILNIUS

Reframing Management for the 21st Century

by invitation only

What changes must we make today for successful leadership and knowledge work tomorrow?

Business management is in the throes of a historic transition, one being fast-forwarded by AI. How can we go from a model inherited from the industrial age, to one that is fit for purpose for the digital 21st century? As Peter Drucker emphasized, you need to be careful what you abandon and very thoughtful what the “next practices” will be – balancing continuity and change.

The transition process is in full swing, but it needs to be fully understood and guided. The Next Management initiative launched by the Global Peter Drucker Forum is one of the catalysts in this process. So we are especially excited to host management thinkers from the Drucker Forum in Vilnius.

Panel 1: The Next Management – Human Performance in an Artificial Intelligence Era
Panel 1 focuses on freeing the practice of management from its industrial age roots. Especially in the public sector, we observe a doubling down on old-style bureaucratic approaches which are now simply “enhanced” by digital tech and AI. How can management be transformed to address the opportunities and complexities of the modern world?

Panel 2: The Next Workforce – Reinventing Knowledge Work
How do advances in digital technology and artificial intelligence reshape an individual’s productivity? Collaboration? Innovation and value creation?
With Richard Straub, founder and president of the Global Peter Drucker Forum

EBIT

What contract do you want to hear today? Imagine the EBIT EXECUTIVES CONFERENCE as a unique convention.
We gather here as separate voices that become one at a time choir - each with their own unique voice and timbre, ready to create special and unique harmony. Two days when we will all be performers, each one contributing to the overall melody, adding to the richness of the piece and complexity. EXECUTIVES CONFERENCE EBIT is not solo performance, it is a depth created by different voices, where each voice complements the overall work with exceptional notes. We hope that conference speakers will introduce new themes and variations, we challenge with complex rhythms, will inspire us to combine our voices and search for new sounds. We are sure that mutual discussions will contribute new notes and chords inviting you to listen, to adapt and when the turn comes, to contribute. Let our time spent together become a contract of ideas, in which the echoes of the debate will inspire innovation, growth and harmony in ours too in professional and personal life. Let's all create one together EBIT that reverberates long after it's played the last note of this year's conference! Welcome back, welcome to join!

Gala Dîner du Club HR Executive

By invitation only

We will have the honor of receiving Frédéric Genta, Minister in charge of attractiveness, development and digital transformation of the Principality of Monaco.

The theme of our dinner: how the global strategy (of a company, of a country) is impacted by the development of the organization in project mode and by the meteoric growth of digital technologies, including of course generative AI ? Frédéric Genta benefits from his Google experience (the company undoubtedly the most advanced in terms of organization in project mode) to include Monaco in this active approach: remaining globally coherent in an increasingly changing and disruptive world. He will share with us his observations, his approaches, his projects, his obstacles, his actions to create and develop a dynamic evolution of a collective organization.

Peter Drucker hat in seinem letzten Werk „Management Challenges for the 21st Century“ die Produktivität von Wissensarbeit als die größte Herausforderung für das Management des 21. Jahrhundert bezeichnet. Er konnte damals noch nicht die rasanten Entwicklungen durch künstliche Intelligenz erahnen oder das Aufkommen populistischer Strömungen vorhersagen. Aber er hat mit großer Genauigkeit die Grundfrage gestellt, was uns eigentlich produktiv sein lässt, was die Qualität von Wissen und Können ausmacht.
Wo stehen wir heute? Mit „Future Skills“ sind eben nicht nur Kompetenzen zur Anpassung an vorhandene Umwelten gemeint. Im Kern geht es um Gestaltungsfähigkeiten, die wir zur Bewältigung großer Transformation benötigen.

In einer exklusiven Diskussionsrunde möchten wir die Frage nach den relevanten Kompetenzen im 21. Jahrhundert stellen. Im Mittelpunkt der vertraulichen Runde sollen eine realistische Lagebeurteilung und das Aufzeigen von attraktiven neuen Wegen stehen. Teilen wir die Sichtweise eines neuen Transformationsprozesses mit seinen Konsequenzen für Wissens- und Wertearbeit? Welche Hausaufgaben sind in der Wirt- schaft zu erledigen? Wo finden sich gute Beispiele?

Prof. Dr. Michael Kaschke, Präsident des Stifterverbandes für die Deutsche Wissenschaft und Dr. Richard Straub, Präsident des Global Peter Drucker Forums laden Sie herzlich ein, sich an der Diskussion zu beteiligen. Schirmherr ist Dr. Michael Linhart, Botschafter der Republik Österreich. Die Diskussion wird von Prof. Dr. Timo Meynhardt, HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management, moderiert.

Management as a “Noble Calling” – a realistic ambition?
In his 2012 book “How Will You Measure Your Life?”, Clayton Christensen asserted that, when performed well, management could have a more profound and positive impact on people’s lives than almost any other occupation. In the same vein, Peter Drucker insisted that management was not just a tool to achieve performance and business results – rather, it was the operating system for a high-performing modern society, all of whose institutions, whether in government, public services or business and the economy, are tasked with producing economic, social and cultural value.

How can we persuade young managers to embrace this elevated view of their role? How can we create awareness at a societal level of the fundamental contribution that management can make to overall wellbeing and prosperity? Can we put management at the forefront of positive societal transformation?

World Management Agility Forum

The World Management Agility Forum is a unique conference dedicated to understanding how management itself is ALREADY been re-imagined and how digital transformation is changing everything. Management and organizational change is based on the idea that traditional management practices are outdated and inadequate for the current business scenario. We need a more agile, customer-centric and adaptive management approach that allows organizations to thrive in an increasingly complex and uncertain world.

Our mission is to inspire a global shift  in management thinking.

More with Less - Entrepreneurship in the Age of Overshooting Resources

Yes, we have the chance to create a better world. More lovingly, more sensitively than has ever been possible before. But we have to get it going ourselves, step into the ring ourselves, do it ourselves.

Let us take action. As self-confident entrepreneurs, acting frugally but with a view to the future. More modestly when it comes to the use of resources. More demanding when it comes to a successful life.

October 13th is a memorable date. On this day we received the news that the Nobel Peace Prize would be awarded to Muhammad Yunus. Prof. Muhammad Yunus has agreed to celebrate this anniversary with us at the next summit.

We look forward to contributions from Prof. Muhammad Yunus, Prof. Maja Göpel, Prof. Harald Welzer, to keynotes, workshops, impulse groups, discussion rounds and, as always, with over 1000 participants, to many informal meetings and personal conversations.
