Experimenting with Rendanheyi: The Pursuit of Zero Distance and Zero Approvals
Presented by Haier Group
The emergence of ecosystems to enhance company capabilities in response to a world of hyper-connectivity and expanded customer expectations has been well established in prior Drucker Forum events. What has not been addressed, however, is how best to organize for such ecosystems. This session, containing both practitioners and students of organizational design, in workshop format, will explore the idea of the Entrepreneurial and Ecosystem Enabling Organization(EEEO); organizations that are ready to engage with complexity, generate pervasive innovation and become a transformational force for entire industries.

WORKSHOP 3
Discovering and Leveraging Your Leadership Strengths
Presented by Gallup
In Managing Oneself, Drucker famously said that “only when you operate from strengths can you achieve true excellence.” Gallup research has demonstrated that when people use their strengths, they are more productive, perform better and are more engaged. The challenge is that people often take their most powerful talents for granted, and many are not fully aware of them.
In this session, we will help individuals understand how to discover, develop, and apply their strengths for greater leadership effectiveness. We’ll also look at how building a strengths-based culture can elevate performance for the whole organization.

The MidLife ReThink: Unlocking Potential - Your Employees or Your Own
Presented by 20-first
A program designed to help individuals and teams #BuildBackBetter after the turbulence and disconnections of the pandemic. Major moments and crises invite a rethink.
Here is the time and the toolbox to navigate your next transition in a transformative online session where we, together, we will:
HARVEST THE PAST, Where I’ve been.
A review of life to date, where you’ve come from, what you’ve experienced, and what you’ve learnt.
ASSESS THE PRESENT, Where I’m standing.
Where am I in the arc of life – and with who am I travelling? What roles/ relationships/ beliefs do I want to keep, and what do I need to leave behind?
MAP THE FUTURE Who I’m becoming.
The dream, the role models and the choices I need to make to move towards the future I want.
The program is inspired by Peter Drucker’s ideas as outlined in the HBR Classic MANAGING ONESELF – The Second Half of Your Life.
The more extended version we will post in a second step according the format that the team is in the process of developing.

Taming Bias: Using Wicked Problem Solving to Make Better Decisions and Align Teams
Presented by Project Management Institute
Cognitive bias profoundly shapes the ways we perceive, think, and make decisions
They are mental shortcuts which have evolved through countless generations and provide dramatic benefits and substantial drawbacks. Bias is active in all parts of life – personal, professional, and social. And they are particularly insidious in Wicked Problems.
Taming bias is a vital skill in today's knowledge work
But it's hard and requires a process, self-awareness, and a willingness to examine how we work as teams and individuals.
In this session, Tom Wujec will:
► Demonstrate how a vast range of biases affect life and work
► Illustrate the mechanisms of key biases and their impact on perception and decision-making
► Present a simple three-step approach to identify, untangle, and tame bias

State of the Global Workplace – Trends and Insights
Presented by Gallup
After a tumultuous year filled with unforeseen challenges, the session will provide an overview of the global workplace trends, global engagement metrics and advice on how organizations can improve the workplace from the State of Global Workplace report. We all did not experience the pandemic in the same way. As workplaces around the world find their footing after the crisis, it’s critical that leaders pay attention to regional workplace trends to better support employee engagement and wellbeing and mitigate burnout. If not, they risk opening their organizations up to a host of negative business outcomes, from lost productivity to high turnover to lower sales.
In this session, Vipula will share:
► Global highlights of the workplace findings through the COVID-19 pandemic
► Learning for leaders from these findings
► How leaders can better support their employees’ engagement and wellbeing
