In this episode, we are joined by Hanne de Mora, Co-Founder and Chairperson of management consultancy organisation a-connect, to talk about innovation of the future of the world of work. Hanne is also a member of the Board of Directors for AB Volvo and the Supervisory Board for IMD Business School.
What was Covered
How Hanne and her fellow Co-Founders created new demand within the traditional industry of workforce and management consultancy services – and how Hollywood provided inspiration How technology changes the consulting, executive education and transportation industries and how these forces also apply elsewhere Why Hanne thinks it is important for business leaders to foster entrepreneurship within organisations through pushing responsibility for human resource and P&L management processes as far down the organization as possible The top skill sets which Hanne thinks are essential to being successful in the future of the world of work Key Takeaways and Learnings How understanding the numbers – how does a business make money and what does its cash flow look like – will remain relevant for any future leader. In a world of ever increasing pace of change the ability to course correct is essential. Inspiration is not hierarchical – it can come from anywhere in an organization. And while mothers and fathers will happily talk about being inspired by their children there remains a resistance within organisations to gain similar inspiration from their cross-generational workforces.
