WHAT TO EXPECT?
In the outburst of negativities thrown upon us by VUCA world in 2020., we had to implement skills of communicating tough topics more than ever. Without the luxury of usual months-long preparations, managers had to address safety, health, uncertainties, bad business results, market losses, demands for business transformation, organizational restructuring… Are we successful in adapting to new communications needs and concerns of our stakeholders? Why are tough topics a litmus of sustainability and how can we talk about them? Why openness, collaboration and removing traditional hierarchies are prerequisite to survival in VUCA world? And why do we have to muster courage to hike on a road less taken? These are questions by which Daria will lead us through communications challenges.
