Expect to be challenged on the following topics:

The Big Picture

Which trends will be key for your business moving forward?

Culture

What do you need to implement to create a high-performance team culture?

Future of Work

How will this radically shift in the time to come?

Leadership

How can you adapt as a leader?

Innovation

How to make innovative actions the default approach in your company?

The Big Picture

To be able to navigate your company forward you need to understand the big picture. You need to understand what is going on around us, what context that we are currently working within and what aspect you need to know in order to make the right decisions.

What are the trends we are seeing these days? What is the business landscape we are currently experiencing? How do you deal with a complex and uncertain world?

These are some of the questions we’ll dive into on September 21-22, 2022.

Culture

Knowing how to create a high-performance team culture is key for any leader. You need to have a clear understanding of the tools you can utilize for leading your team in the right direction.

What do you need to do in order to create an atmosphere where your employees will thrive and become the very best version of themselves?

These are some of the aspects we will focus on at our conference September 21-22, 2022.

Future of Work

Leaders and businesses are operating in an environment full of uncertainties, hardship, tough competition, and harsh consequences. In an environment like this it is important to know which fundamental principles and approaches you must live by to navigate that landscape and succeed.

How do you ensure that you move quickly and adapt your business model to the context of tomorrow? What aspects will dominate the future of work? And what will this future be like for you as a leader?

Learn important tools and implementable ideas at OBF on September 21-22, 2022.

Leadership

How do you approach leadership to create a significant change, not just in your company, but in society. Leaders today need to adapt and to find new ways of thinking and innovate.

Future-focused leaders are the ones that will thrive moving forward. However, what does this mean in practice? How do you lead your team into this uncertain environment of tomorrow? And what skills do you need to have in order to seize the opportunities that will be thrown at you?

These are some of the things you will learn at OBF September 21-22, 2022.

Innovation

With the rapid development we are seeing today it is the most innovative companies and leaders that will stand out. Companies today are looking for new ways to make business, and new ways to take the next steps.

The possibilities are endless with all the technology and data we hold today, but where do you start to turn this into results? What do we really mean when we talk about some companies being innovative? How do you ensure that you as a leader bring creative ideas to the table and ensure your team maintain an innovation mindset?

Find out this and more at OBF September 21-22, 2022.
