The New Role of Management:
Leadership for Knowledge Ecology & Strategic Renewal,
Workshop led by Edna Pasher

Knowledge cannot be managed in traditional ways if we want it to flourish, and enhance strategic renewal. Business leaders need to unlearn the traditional management culture in which top management created the strategy of the organization and then translated it into action plans for the rest of the people in the organization to carry out. Leaders need to adapt a new leadership culture that allows for the emergence of an organizational environment in which all employees are creating and leveraging knowledge for the ongoing strategic renewal of the organization.

In the workshop we will explore together:

What is the new role of leaders in the knowledge based organization ?

What are the beliefs, values and norms of behavior of the effective new leader ?

How do we develop leaders for their new role ?

Edna and her partners have been supporting executive teams in Israel, Europe and the U.S.A in strategy making and organizational renewal for the last 20 years. Edna will share this experience with the participants in the workshop, analyzing with them the management revolution necessary for the age of the Knowledge Ecology.
