Dr Giovanni Serafini, Visiting Lecturer at our Executive MBA and Lecturer in International Business and Management Essex Business School, University of Essex, delivered the fourth module of the Programme for Managerial Development on ’Change Management and Innovations’ that runs in Kyiv in collaboration with the European Business Association (EBA).
Dr Serafini discussed the culture of innovation and how it can make a company wildly successful, underpinning that the challenge innovative organisations face is to ensure enough attention is being paid to how to actually implement all the fabulous ideas they come up with.
”Organisations that are looking to survive and even thrive with an innovative culture need be “change-adept”, which means that they need to: - provide the skill and structure required to identify problems and improvement opportunities; - technically implement solutions in a cost-effective and efficient manner; - manage all aspects of the implementation including the human and cultural elements, Dr Serafini said.”
The programme Programme for Managerial Development aims at equipping professionals with skills and knowledge, which are required for meeting companies’ strategic objectives.
