At the Executive Summit 2024 held on March 26 at the University of Alabama, our CEO Wilhelm Goschy discussed the unique opportunities and challenges organizations encounter in cultivating leadership excellence in today’s digital landscape. He highlighted the importance of tailored training to manage information overload and stressed the role of employee engagement and agility in adapting to market dynamics.
The digital era presents organizations with abundant opportunities to enhance leadership capabilities through virtual tools for teaching, training, and coaching. However, the vast amount of information available can also pose challenges, with some leaders struggling to sift through the data. To address this, customized training and coaching are essential to help leaders focus on the most relevant information for their roles.
“Having numerous virtual tools available offers great opportunities for learning and growth,” said Wilhelm Goschy. “However, the risk of information overflow is real. Our approach involves providing customized training and coaching to help leaders sift through the data and focus on what is essential for their specific roles.”
Lean Management emphasizes the importance of employee involvement and empowerment.
Our consulting company therefore focuses on specialized training and coaching for leaders to effectively communicate the company’s vision, inspire and motivate employees, and encourage daily learning and improvement.
“Leadership involves not only communicating the company’s vision but also involving and encouraging employees in daily improvement activities,” Wilhelm explained. “Engaging and rewarding employees fosters a problem-solving culture and a continuous improvement mindset.”
Moreover, our consulting company leverages digital tools and platforms to facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration across the organization. By breaking down silos and connecting people from different departments and locations, organizations can share success stories and best practices more effectively.
“In the digital era, we can use various tools and platforms to connect people across the value chain and break down silos,” said Wilhelm. “Creating platforms to share success stories and best practices allows for learning across functions and the entire company.”
Lastly, as companies evolve in response to changing market dynamics and customer demands, agility is crucial. Our consulting company supports organizations in adapting their strategies by introducing agile tools and methodologies, enabling them to assemble expert teams quickly to address specific challenges.
“Developing a problem-solving and continuous improvement culture is the first step towards agility,” Wilhelm noted. “By utilizing agile tools and methodologies, organizations can bring together experts from different areas to solve specific problems more efficiently, adapting to changing market conditions and environments.”
