Leaders know that Inspiring confidence during an era of low morale, potential future global damaging economic recession and failing organisational models are among the challenges facing organisations in Africa, Asia and Western Europe. Strategic leaders also know these existential threats are fallouts of the COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine crises. However, the billion-dollar question is how can this be effectively and efficiently addressed? TEXEM UK will address veritable and actionable panaceas at its programme coming up from Nov. 21 to Nov. 24 in Birmingham.
TEXEM’s Director of Special Projects, Caroline Lucas, in a statement, said the TEXEM Strategic Leadership for Success in Volatile Times programme aims to equip leaders with the skills to deal with the uncertainty that tomorrow brings.
“As a leader, you hope each year brings great fortunes for your organisation.
“However, there is a lot that we do not know about tomorrow. So, as you wish for the best, you need to develop the core competence to prepare for an uncertain future,” Lucas said.
She said other challenges facing organisations include supply chain disruption, new cybersecurity threats, low national cohesion, dramatic forex fluctuations, high level of inflation and, by extension, low customer disposable income.
Lucas said that dwindling government, business revenue and diminishing productivity are major existential threats for all organisations.
Specifically, she said political unrest, the upcoming election in 2023 and likely uncertainty in monetary and fiscal policies in a country like Nigeria would likely affect the competitiveness and comparative advantage of organisations and the nation.
Lucas reiterated that TEXEM’s tested and proven methodology, which has helped hundreds of organisations to win, will be deployed during this programme. In addition, TEXEM’s impactful methodology comprises case studies, role play, games, and working visits to companies that would be deployed during the programme.
According to the director, this will be utilised to encourage participants to enhance their cognitive skills and improve their analytical rigour and evaluation skills to better assist them in managing ambiguity.
She added that this would make the programme an enjoyable, impactful, and memorable experience stimulating better strategic leadership competence.
On the programme’s impact, Lucas assured that participants should expect to learn several actionable winning strategies on how to thrive in a future characterised by stiff competition, a fast-paced and challenging operating context.
“Some ways to provide leadership for success in such turbulent times is by being agile, optimising the capacity of your organisation to turn challenges into opportunities, building resilience, prioritising your people and acting decisively.
“You need these practical strategies and others to help steer your organisation’s plan for success in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous tomorrow,” she affirmed.
