CONFERENCE: DRIVING “DANCING ELEPHANTS”: HOW TO RUN A FLEXIBLE E-BUSINESS
When Lou Gerstner, former CEO of IBM, wrote his book “who says elephants can’t dance ? Inside IBM’s historic turnaround”, it was the starting point of a new era called “e-business”. And most if not all companies are now moving the same way. The concepts are well-known: flexibility, global reach, resilience, user-orientation. The question is: how do you make it happen on a daily basis ?
This conference given by Olivier Sirven, who is himself driving global re-engineering programs within IBM, and directing the E-Business Master of Lille-1 University, France, will detail the tools, methods and processes needed to implement and run this strategy in an organization.
Focus is set on project/program management, as the cornerstone of this work. Other chapters like team management, risk management, cross-cultural management, will be discussed.
Conference goals and objectives
At the end of this conference, you should have in hands some elements that will help you setting-up and managing the right organisation to run a flexible e-business. This conference is an extract of a 30 hours University course.
