• Rensis Likert Professor, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan

• Partner, The RBL Group

• Father of modern HR

Keynote "The market oriented ecosystem and how to reinvent your organization"

Participants in this session will be able to:

1. Define why organizations matters for individual, strategic, customer, investor, and community results
2. Articulate the evolution of organizational logic leading to the market oriented ecosystem (MOE)
3. Diagnose and improve on the six domains of the MOE with specific tools and actions for application. 

Why Organizations Matter

Organizations shape nearly every aspect of our lives (work, health, learning, social, and spiritual). Organizations turn personal beliefs into value created for others through the right culture, individual aspirations into shared agendas through relationships, disjointed actions into progress through growing opportunities, private thoughts into collective outcomes through a shared community, and discrete actions into sustained patterns.”

In our research on over 1,200 organizations and 30,000 individuals, we found that the organization (capabilities) had four times the impact on business results than individual (competencies).

What Does an Organization Look Like?

Just as industrial revolutions happened in stages, how organizations operate has moved through stages. Over the last number of years, Arthur Yeung and Dave Ulrich have been trying to understand how organizations are reinventing themselves to shed their past, quickly respond to market opportunities, change their structure, govern for agility and innovation, and empower all leaders to make choices to win. 

In the book Reinventing the Organization, we characterize organization evolution into four phases: 1) hierarchy or bureaucracy, 2) aligned systems, 3) capability, and 4) what we call market-oriented ecosystem (MOE). The current phase of organization design, the market-oriented ecosystem, enables organizations to meet today’s demanding digital world of incredible change. Organizations need to reinvent themselves to become ever-more responsive to dynamic market opportunities to bring people together  to win in the marketplace.

How to Build the Right Organization

Based on the synthesis of other work and our research we identified six principles and practices that any leader can use to reinvent their organization.

Each of these six dimensions leads to a diagnostic and pathway for improving your organization.

Participants in this session will understand and have tools to improve on all six of these dimensions so that their organization serves customers, continually innovates, and agilely responds to opportunities and challenges.

Gianpiero Petriglieri

13.10.2020 | 10:00 - 11:00 | Keynote Stage

• Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD and expert for leadership and learning in the workplace

Keynote "A Reminder to Leaders in the Age of Digital Transformation: Be Human"

Digital transformation is ongoing in just about every organization, across all industries. But Gianpiero Petriglieri reminds leaders that digital doesn’t mean not human. While executives often focus on technology, the rise of mobility and diversity is equally important. This trio of trends make the role of leaders in transformation ever more important – it doesn’t stop with strategy. In this presentation, Petriglieri asserts that there is an art to leading transformation in general, and to leaders’ function as cultural conductors, in particular. For intent to turn into inspiration, and strategy into performance, leaders must not only articulate – they must embody a new vision and bring a culture of transformation to life. Attendees will walk away with the motivation and the actionable insights for how to do this in daily work

Vita

Gianpiero Petriglieri is Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD, and an expert on leadership and learning in the workplace. His award-winning research and teaching focus on what it means, and what it takes, to become a leader. He is particularly interested in the development of leadership in the age of “nomadic professionalism,” in which people have deep personal bonds to work but loose affiliations to organizations, and authenticity and mobility have replaced loyalty and advancement as hallmarks of virtue and success.

Gianpiero’ research has appeared in leading academic journals such as Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Learning & Education, and Organization Studies. He also writes regularly for the Harvard Business Review, where five of his essays have been included among the “ideas that shaped management” in the last decade. His work has been featured in a range of media including the BBC, Financial Times, The Economist, Businessweek, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, and El Pais. He has chaired the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on new models of leadership, and was recently named one of the 50 most influential management thinkers in the world by Thinkers50.

Building on his research, Gianpiero has contributed to refining a unique approach to leadership development that aims to accelerate the development of individual leaders as well as to strengthen leadership communities within and across organisations. At INSEAD, he directs the Management Acceleration Programme, the school’s flagship executive programme for emerging leaders, and chairs the Initiative for Learning Innovation and Teaching Excellence. He also designs and directs customized leadership development for multinationals in a variety of industries, some of which have received industry-wide awards.

An insightful and engaging speaker, he presents widely at management conferences and corporate gatherings on how to live, lead, and learn “on the move” without losing one’s roots.

In the INSEAD MBA, Gianpiero teaches the core course “Ethics: Value-based leadership for cosmopolitans.” He taught the "Leading People and Groups" core course for five years, receiving the students' Outstanding Teacher Award, and has earned numerous Dean's Commendations for Teaching Excellence in MBA and Executive Education.

A Medical Doctor and Psychiatrist by training, Gianpiero has worked as an executive coach, practiced as a psychotherapist, and served on the staff of group relations conferences in Europe and the United States. He has held Visiting Professor positions at the Harvard Business School, and at Copenhagen Business School.
