Peer Case Activity at “Get Future Ready Now” EGA Summit, 28th August 2019 with Jennifer Vessels
According to 80 global executives from around the world who attended Executive Growth Alliance Summit in Oslo Norway on 28th August, “The future starts now”.
They came to “Get Future Ready Now” and left with commitments to:
- Think Big and say yes to new opportunities
- Have more open conversations with customers, partners, competitors and peers
- Challenge oneself and others
- Take risks and share learning including failures
- Embrace and seek diversity
There were many iconic moments during the Summit and one of those time was the collaboration among participants during the “Peer Case Activity”. For this activity, participants were seated with 6-8 peers including one Smart Leader at each table to simulate an Executive Growth Forum. The case provided was ‘How to create a future-ready open innovation organizational culture – through each leader’s personal demonstration of innovation, creativity, collaboration”.
Through open sharing and Smart Guide facilitation, each table group addressed:
- How are you (personally) being innovative today – in your work or life?
- What will you do after today to be innovative and demonstrate future-readiness?
- How can we as peers (tablemates) support one another after the Summit?
The debrief revealed plans to: Listen more, take risks, reflect, embrace diversity, challenge oneself and others, talk openly to customers and partners, learn from peers in other industries.
There were commitments to continue peer dialogues and collaboration initiated during the summit through: regular check ins with peers, creation of a WhatsApp group, calling to challenge one another and invitations to join the Executive Growth Alliance.
