CIMA CPD conference: Leading
innovation, creativity and enterprise - leadership lessons from the parallel
universes of the business school and music
Speaker:
Peter Cook, Human Dynamics
The
Academy of Rock uniquely blends business and leadership with the power of music
to inspire, inform and engage you. Join us at this exciting conference to find
out more.
The
conference will have four sessions during the day covering: -
Leading innovation, creativity and
enterprise I
In this
session, Peter Cook will examine the disruptive business world in which we now
operate and outline strategies for innovation as a means of responding to
this. We will relate this to the job of
the finance professional in the wake of an adaptive business environment
The music of business
We
continue our exploration of innovation and creativity but this time using
examples from the parallel universe of music. What can we learn about
leadership from Madonna, business strategy from AC/DC or innovation from David
Bowie and Prince? This is a unique blend
of business academia and music with opportunities to contribute your own
examples and participate.
Leading innovation, creativity and
enterprise II
In this
second session, we examine ways in which you may create a culture of innovation
in your enterprise. We also examine the
qualities of creative leadership that will contribute to an enterprise where
people bring their heads, hearts and souls to the workplace.
The Virgin way: leadership lessons
from Sir Richard Branson and Virgin
Peter Cook
won a prize from Sir Richard Branson and this led to working for Virgin as an
author and event leader. At the same time Richard then offered an exclusive
interview for Peter’s book with Bloomsbury.
As a result of this he has had the opportunity to study the Virgin group
in terms of its leadership and approach to innovation and creativity. Here Peter reflects on his experiences and
gives an insight into the way that Virgin is led and managed with transferable
lessons to your own organisation.
