Conferences topics: Drucker, Kotler, strategy, and others (leadership, staffing, etc.)

Peter Drucker on corporate strategy

How multibusiness organizations go about defining their strategy (11 steps) in order to create synergy (rather than anergy)

Based on:

Anergy book by jorge vasconcellos e sá Economic freedom speaker Brazil

Philip Kotler on business strategy for brand/product managers

The 14 strategic moves (6 of attack and 8 of defense) and the rules to implement them; one can win with ten and loose with one hundred (P. Kotler)

Peter Drucker on effective leadership: what really matters

Leadership is as popular as a placid subject.

However the examples of Katharine Graham (a housewife heir to the Washington Post), or of Darwin Smith (a discreet lawyer who as CEO transformed Kimberly-Clark into one of the most admired world companies), demonstrate how what truly matters for effective leadership is frequently plainly missed.

Only two behavioural traits (not personality types much less charisma) and also two management skills, are absolutely necessary conditions for great leaders.

That is the message of Peter Drucker, the founder of modern management.

Peter Drucker on staffing

Staffing: how to build great teams by:

    • Forgetting weaknesses and focusing on strengths;
    • Ignoring human relations/teambuilding and concentrating on the key factors of the jobs to be done; and
    • Rather than knowledge focusing on the required temperament: most business functions accept a second rate intellect but require a first rate temperament (P. Drucker)

Based on:

Peter Drucker on how to manage clients and make (the five sections of) a marketing plan

The purpose of a business is to create a customer (P. Drucker)

Based on:

Practical Drucker - how to create battle-ready organizations

Motivational conference: How do I want to be remembered? How can I make a difference?

Many motivational talks focus on examples of who plunged to the greatest depths of the oceans, conquered the thickest forests, or climbed the highest mountains.

This conference centers on the management tools which enable us to make a difference and thus leave a legacy to be remembered for.

Those instruments are simple. Within anyone’s grasp. Through a common link directly impacting on the multitude of problems we all face nowadays: from population growth to poverty.

And regardless of how (apparently) insignificant a job seems to be. According to Peter Drucker, the founder of modern management.

Peter Drucker on entrepreneurship and innovation; the PISA method to create:

    • Unicorns;
    • Simple (without great technical complexity);
    • By assessing people’s emotions, not reasoning;
    • Based on opportunities which come to us (instead of creating them); and
    • Solutions which already exist rather than inventing
“The key to great innovations is to be simple, not bright.” (Peter Drucker)

Nothing changes: Drucker’s questions to create competitive organizations are eternal

Drucker’s questions: 1) Planned abandonment: If we were to decide now, would we still enter into the businesses we are in today? And if not, what are we going to do about that?; 2) Who is our client?; 3) Who is the non client?; 4) What is value for our client?; 5) What is non value for our client?
