The Swiss Management Association @swissleaders_org portrayed me in their quarterly #Leader magazine, in which I shared my motivation for why I created the Executive MBA program in Digital Leadership together with @manuelnappo. If you know anyone who might be interested, point them to our next info session on 28.10.19 @fhhwz (DM me for the registration link). .

As I’m writing this post, I’m in NYC to meet with business leaders and management professors who will do sessions with our class in their second semester during our study abroad trip. It will be amazing, I’m already excited for it!

Enjoy the weekend! 💫
.
.
One of my favorite memories from this week has been speaking in #Venice at the #FastForwardForum about leadership in a digital world.
.
.
What made this conference so special is that the founders Heimo Hammer(on the left), @davebirss and @jonburkharttbc designed the #FastForwardForum around the idea of building a #community of international doers, thinkers and speakers. To that end, they were very thoughtful in designing the in-between moments of the program so meaningful conversations effortlessly emerged, and the sense of connection among speakers and participants flourished. .

“Companies that are perpetual innovators understand that innovation and great ideas are a democracy,” said @carlajohnson.co , marketing influencer and author. “An innovation unit won’t work unless it’s paired with innovation as a culture.” It was great meeting Carla, a fellow speaker at the #FastForwardForum and I’m beyond excited that both our talks were quoted in a @forbes article alongside insights from @igorbeuker, @thecindygallop and @columbia Prof. Sandra Matz. (link in bio). .

It was a pleasure to speak at the #FastForwardForum in Venice, a gathering of international top speakers and top managers to think and talk about the future of business and innovation. .
.
In my talk, I spoke about #DigitalLeadership and argued that it is not until we think equally as much about organizational culture as we do about technology in the context of digital transformation that we fast forward progress in the working world.
Thank you for introducing me to the #FastForwardForum, @mberner!

“If you ran the world, what would you do?” It’s the question @thecindygallop asked in her talk at the #FastForwardForum, underlining the importance of knowing your values and what you stand for. .
.
In her own professional life, she successfully built up the US branch of advertising firm Bartle Bogle and Hegarty in the world’s toughest business environment - New York City. 10 years ago she launched MakeLoveNotPorn.com on the @ted stage, a #sextech venture that seeks to educate its global audience about the difference between fiction and real-life.
.
.
She’s at once outspoken and thoughtful; bold and kind-hearted. I can only recommend googling one of her many interviews or her TED talk; she has a lot of things to say about fast forwarding progress in this world. Grateful we got to both speak at the #FastForwardForum2019!

What does it take to pitch your startup successfully on stage? 🎤🏆
.
.
Having been a jury member and moderator for the «Startup Pitch» session at the @business_innovation_week, the best pitches were characterized by: .
.
1. Passion, energy and enthusiasm of the founder. You could feel the conviction of the entrepreneur.
.
.
2. Straightforward explanation of the problem and how the startup solves it. The value-add needs to be crystal clear.
.
.
3. The opportunity to get involved now (as an investor, client, strategic partner) is exciting and leaves the audience hungry to interact with the founder after the pitch.
.
.
.
Thank you for the invitation and collaboration, @business_innovation_week, @ewaming and @bertrand_blancheton! .

Raise your hand ...if your organization is at the beginning of the digital transformation. I asked the audience today.
.
.

I then went on to explain why it’s important that they focus not only on the technological aspects but also on their people. Because engaged employees are a key success factor in digital transformation initiatives.

The event #bexioCD was organized by #bexio, a software company that serves over 25’000 enterprises in Switzerland. Thank you for having me!

One of my opening lines for my moderation of the Digital Summit by @digitalliechtenstein was a quote from 2016 by Ginni Rometty, President, Chairwoman and CEO of IBM: «Within five years, I believe all major business decisions will be enhanced by cognitive technologies.»
.

What do you think about her prediction? Agree or disagree? Let me know in the comments!
