Driving a High Performance Culture

Formula 1 is a high performance sport, but for the technology companies which compete to create the fastest cars in the world there is a dual requirement - to combine the best in people in technology in a way that unlocks new levels of performance. The leadership of Formula 1 teams recognise that technology alone is not the answer - this simply provides a suite of tools which enable a group of people to deliver success and drive innovation.

Netflix, Hockey and Building Teams

Listen and interact with Patty McCord as she brings us Silicon Valley concepts of fresh ideas and innovation as they are applied to rethinking the way we work. She challenges norms and invites us to reconsider the idea of “best practices.” She spent 14 years at Netflix experimenting with new ways to work. Making the Netflix culture deck become reality for the people who work there. Patty believes people come to work as fully formed adults with a desire to make an impact and be proud of what they do and she’s on a mission to spread the word that we can do this differently.

She speaks at CEO Forums, Business schools and for large groups around the world.

SISU, czyli jak wzmocnić hart ducha i jak stawiać czoła wyzwaniom w zwariowanych czasach?

Sisu to unikalne, fińskie słowo, oznaczające odporność psychiczną i hart ducha, ale również orientację na działanie i determinację w dążeniu do określonego celu pomimo przeciwności losu. To, do czego my potrzebujemy kilkunastu (jakże ważnych!) słów, Finowie zmieścili w dwóch prostych sylabach. W zwariowanym, niepewnym otoczeniu biznesowym, w obliczu recesji oraz niespotykanej od 100 lat ogólnoświatowej pandemii, sisu wyrasta na kluczową kompetencję XXI wieku.[...]

„System Down” i co dalej ?

Awarie się zdarzają i nadal będą. Dla nas, menedżerów IT, to po prostu część naszej codziennej pracy.

MythBusters: Perpetuum Mobile or how to build the competences of the future at Discovery

[...]One could summarize that this speech is about Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constrain, Process Management, Continuous Improvement, RPA, and a few more. Probably your impression now is “boring, I’ve heard it before” or at least “not sure if that’s for me”. The key is not to focus on individual methodologies and tools but to consider the whole ecosystem that will make it fly. In other words – take your notebook and write down my recipe for building your own Perpetuum Mobile.

Amplified Humanity

With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, we can see a new era of production and work on the horizon. The hope is that we will be able to get machines to do the things we were never good at, the ones that require physical strength, speed, weather resistance or are super monotonous. And then we could do the things we are uniquely good at. The human stuff. Creating meaning. Building Connections. Curiosity, reflection, art, creativity. Leaders and managers are generally not trained to amplify the humanity of the people they lead. [...]

Leadership is not given, it's a learning process – something you grow into. You surely can be born with a set of traits that make leadership easier, doesn’t mean you will use it wisely. So what are the growing pains that a future leader needs to go through? How to deal with them? What choices to make? How not to get lost? ..and then, when you finally achieve your long-awaited goal and you become a leader, suddenly you realize that your road has just begun… What then? Those any many other questions will be answered during a speech, where I will share some stories (also personal) of the bumpy road towards leadership.[...]

The Art of Writing Headlines

You know you understand your story only if you can tell it keeping it simple, clear and short. What if “short” means seven words? Well, then you might use the skill of writing headlines. They need to be brief and to the point. Informative and catchy. Exciting but not misleading. Create a headline and sell and tell your story with a little help from the former BBC Online journalist, now InterComm’s executive communication consultant Rafał Motriuk. With your headline and your story will you be able to leave your audiences hungry for more?

Human centric learning experience design

To lead and manage is essentially to help others learn and grow within the context of work. Outsourcing learning into the training room, conference hall or brown-bag lunch session is, while attractive, shortsighted. Managers and leaders teach, if they want to or not. They teach by how they act around others. They teach by how they communicate, by how they relate to their team, and by the way they accompany the processes of doing the work.[...]
