Susan Basterfield - Musíme zmeniť benefity a spraviť ich cielene rozvojovými ...Maxman Consultants

Musíme zmeniť benefity - a spraviť ich cielene rozvojovými Ponúkané benefity sa v súčasnosti pohybujú od ovocia zadarmo cez kalčeto a flexibilný pracovný čas, či miesto práce až po (v pár ojedinelých prípadoch) neobmedzené dovolenky. Je to milé, no v stále urputnejšom boji o prilákanie a udržanie najlepších talentov v organizáciách, musíme začať myslieť komplexnejšie. Iba spoločnosť, ktorá dokáže vytvoriť podmienky, v ktorých môžu ľudia tak skutočne ľudsky rásť a napredovať (a nemyslíme tým rozvoj mäkkých zručností), priláka a udrží tých najlepších (bez ohľadu na kalčeto v herni). Susan nám na stretnutí pomôže získať nadhľad nad záplavou atraktívnych benefitov a umožní nám pochopiť podstatu toho, čo je pre talentov skutočne obohacujúce.

Appreciative Inquiry & Change ManagementBrent Jones

This talk starts with a general overview of developments in the field of Change Management, and goes on to explore the hot new field of Appreciative Inquiry (AI). AI has received much attention in organizational development (OD) circles, and has been successfully used in a wide range of change management initiatives around the world.

Cooperrider and his colleagues at Case Western Reserve University, and shown how professional development activities have been developed for each of these phases. Together with other findings in the field of positive psychology, this 4D AI cycle should be a welcome addition to the manager's toolbox.

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain

This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust. Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards. The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks. The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration. Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.
