TO FLY AHEAD IN TURBULENT TIMES, YOU NEED CLARITY

Crises offer opportunities if you’re ready to take bold, decisive action, lead radical change, find technological ways to innovate, and compete in different ways.
At OWP we help you clarify the immediate challenges and explore the long-term solutions. We provide the most comprehensive radar on global issues that are affecting you and your business.

Don’t fall behind. Take a global view. Expand. Revitalize. Adapt.

Stanislas van Wassenhove, Partner CMS DeBackerand Stéphane Collin, Senior Associate CMS DeBacker, speakers during the module:

MANAGING THE STRATEGIC CHALLENGES OF A CHANGING WORKFORCE

We will examine both the perennial and emerging challenges presented by the changing workforce.

At entry level, many firms, especially those in engineering fields, face shortages of engineering and science graduates. And these firms also must deal with high turnover of technical staff in the first year or two of employment as the realities of the workplace contradict the now pervasive Western cultural norm that “one should not do anything that is too difficult.” We will discuss what some leading firms are doing to deal with these challenges.

At mid-level, many managers and professionals face the new reality that the “way up” for them is now becoming a very difficult journey. Even in these days of networks rather than hierarchy, the implications of differences in technical, commercial and political capabilities means a leveling off for the majority. We will examine what some firms are doing to deal with potentially corrosive effects of this phenomenon.

For managers and professionals above the age of 50, some companies are finding ways of maintaining their engagement and contribution to the wealth-creation system by reconceptualizing the assets and capabilities of these people who are highly experienced, but no longer “promotable.”
