Major organizational change sometimes feels like climbing Mount Everest. The challenges of getting from basecamp to the summit are great and some dangerous pitfalls lurk.

When it comes to diversity & inclusion in the workplace, age is becoming increasingly important, especially given the ageing population in the Western world. Research has already demonstrated that organizations with widely varying age groups are at risk of age polarization, leading to ‘us-vs-them’ thinking, communication problems or conflicts.

"We've been in the business for years, by now we know what the customer wants." A common statement that is true and false: through experience you do indeed gain a lot of knowledge but at the same time you and your organization run the risk of getting stuck in the (provisional) success.

Decision-making in supply chain & logistics is a high-stakes game. Many AI developers dream of creating a world where all data is processed by advanced algorithms. A world without human planners, since “people can only add error”, dixit McKinsey (2018). But is this really the case?

During this webinar, prof. dr. Tom Van Woensel will present new insights that may lead your organization to more efficiency and profitability. You will discover more about the interaction between AI and supply chain & logistics, so you can unlock their full potential.

Organizational structures often grow organically: according to needs, new teams are formed, additional managers are appointed, processes are rolled out, etc. This goes well for a while until you realize and experience that the puzzle pieces no longer fit together seamlessly. Intervening in structures causes a lot of cold feet among managers. After all, how do you know which model is the best fit for your company? There are 1001 possibilities and it rains buzzwords like squad, scrum, guild, agile or self-managing teams. However, with focused, efficient and participatory structure design, you will transform your organization into a strong strategic player. (This webinar is in Dutch.)
