DAY 1: Tuesday, October 17, 2017
09.00 – 10.00 AM
Plumbing and Poetry
Leading people in meaningful environments
The presentation will address the different characteristics of organizations and institutions and the coinciding distinction between management and leadership. These distinctions can be related to differences in mechanistic and organismic worldviews and to ‘having and being’ as modes of existence. Within organizations they also drive the difference between a technical system in which efficiency reigns supreme (the realm of ‘matter’) and a social structure in which integrity is paramount (the realm of ‘meaning’).
Managing people to meet both imperatives implies cultivating both, concern for the conditions of continued organizational existence (‘plumbing’) and support for a long term perspective embedded in symbolic actions (‘poetry’).

The Recruitment and Selection of Directors and Senior Executives
How to compose high performance Boards of Directors and the role of HR professionals are the two central topics of the presentation. All governing bodies of organizations are composed of several persons that must make decisions together, and together they must set the direction, monitor those executing, and account to stakeholders. The challenge is that effective boards require collective capabilities but our experience to date is based on the assessment of individual capabilities. How do we identify the requirements that individual directors and the board of directors collectively must fulfill? What are the main approaches? When do they work, what are good practice tips, and how can HR practices and professionals be the key to success?

09.00 – 10.00 AM
Create a Great Employee Experience
Many companies focus strongly on creating a great customer experience. But very few have taken the next logical step and focused on consciously creating a great employee experience.
The employee experience is the sum of all the interactions between that employee and your company. It starts with the first social media post they see, the first job listing or the first headhunting email, and ends with keeping in touch even after they leave.
It’s about creating a place where people want to show up and are happy at work. Creating a positive employee experience is not about stock options or football in the break room. It’s about respecting the role your people play in representing your brand and building your business. When you give talented people the space to achieve and thrive, they’ll give your customers an experience your competitors can’t duplicate.
In this presentation you will get an insight in:
- What is Employee Experience?
- Why is it important?
- How to create the best employee experience

Alembo: Operational Excellence
A visit to ALEMBO outsourcing company in Suriname. Even with over 150 employees, the management has been capable to create a relaxed and learning atmosphere where each person has found his or her individually fitting place in the team.
Some colleagues have tasks on 3 different departments or on different days and hours. They all have their own motivation and it is exactly that diversification within the organization that results in this captivating organizational culture.
Retaining positive and motivated staff is vital to an organization’s success. The low employee turnover is a positive effect of the company morale which is also visible in the way job performance and productivity is being maintained.
If an employee needs a new challenge they often don’t leave the organization, as there is always another option even only for a few hours a day.
How did ALEMBO find balance between different cultures and talents managing the organization towards a responsible self-learning team?
The (TMA) Talent Motivation Analysis books are visible on the desk.
The way this system is applied?
The management works with the talent-performance concept that is methodically structured and simple to apply in practice.

DAY 2: Wednesday, October 18, 2017
11.00 – 12.00 AM
The Open Organization
Today’s leaders know that speed and agility are the keys to any company’s success, and yet many are frustrated that their organizations can’t move fast enough to stay competitive. The typical chain of command is too slow; internal resources are too limited; people are already executing beyond normal expectations. As the pace accelerates, how do you inspire people’s energy and creativity? How do you collaborate with customers, vendors, and partners to keep your organization on the cutting edge? What kind of organization matches the speed and complexity that businesses must master—and how do you build that organization?
The Open Organization is an innovative model of open management based on transparency, participation and community. It reinvents the organization for the fast-paced connected era we live in today. This concept helps leaders struggling to adapt their management practices to the values of the digital and social age. Organizations build upon the foundations of this model respond quickly to opportunities, harness resources and talent both inside and outside the organization, and inspire, motivate, and empower people at all levels to act with accountability.
In this presentation, we will discuss the concept of Open Organizations and you will get the opportunity to assess how well your company reflects this new way of managing. Furthermore, we will introduce you to some tools to build a more open organization, resulting in better business results, higher team engagement and a better atmosphere at the workplace.
The Open Organization is based on the work of Jim Whitehurst, Red Hat CEO and former Delta Airlines COO, and Patrick Lencioni, Specialist on Team Performance and writer of “The 5 dysfunctions of a Team”
