As an executive, you constantly face complex problems. Solving them intuitively can be disastrous, but too much analysis can also end poorly. What you need is a versatile approach customizable to each of the problems you face. During this session the speakers will present and discuss a three-step process that we call FrED – frame, explore, decide – to help us solve complex problems from all walks of life. To make the concepts come alive, Fred Turner, Retail Director at Fuller’s, will be sharing his experiences applying the FrED methodology to the post-covid strategy at Fuller’s.

How are you leading during the New Normal? In our club event held in December 2021 ‘Leading through the New Normal with Professor George Kohlrieser’, the polling survey said >90% of respondents would be interested in a peer coaching forum to discuss leadership topics. This was also endorsed by George as a good way to build leadership resilience in challenging times. We are delighted to invite you to an online peer coaching event with the purpose to facilitate supportive discussion in small groups on leadership topics and challenges amongst IMD alumni. The event will start with a short talk from professional leadership coach Dean Michelli. Then participants will be put into breakout rooms in groups of 3 to share their own challenges in turn and seek advice and perspective from the others. After breakout sessions, key insights will be shared in an informal plenary setting.

We will not be able to admit any late comers after the breakout room discussions start.*
