Webinar: Stuck in the 20th Century? The Shifts You and Your Company Need to Make to Thrive in the 21st Century

Stuck in the 20th Century? The Shifts You and Your Company Need to Make to Thrive in the 21st Century

Presented by Maya Townsend and Martha Miser

Today, the world is a much different place than it was twenty years ago. Yet, we still rely on approaches to strategy that were developed in the 20th century (and a few that were developed over 2000 years ago). We need to move beyond the old methods to what works in our digital, global, rapidly changing world. In this active, engaging webinar, we’ll explore the five shifts organizations and individuals need to make in order to lead strategy and communicate effectively in the 21st century.
In this session, you will learn:

• What the shift to a deeply interconnected, digitally ubiquitous, global world means for organizations and individuals.
• The five shifts of thinking you’ll need to succeed in strategy and communications in the 21st Century.
• The practical implications of the five shifts to your practice.

Presenter Maya Townsend helps individuals, teams, and organizations thrive in our networked world.

As co‐editor of The Handbook for Strategic HR, Townsend will happily tell you why you should throw out your performance reviews and why most HR departments need a total makeover.

Presenter Martha Miser focuses on disrupting organizations, so that people think differently about themselves and relationships, leading to organizations that are more awake, passionate, human and focused—all of which adds up to better business results.
