Shefali Shah, MBA’s Post

Proud to have completed a course program and add a new certification in Digital Transformation in Operations from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. It was a fun and rewarding experience to learn and collaborate with such great instructors and business leaders from around the world! #NeverStopLearning #NeverStopGrowing #OperationalExcellence #Strategy #PracticalApplication

While this course was more useful for someone learning to put together a business plan to convince venture capitalists to invest in their endeavor, I can see it being useful to apply some of these principles in addition to those discussed in the HMM Business Case course to convince executives of the value of your internal project. The best part of this course was when Brian S. Cohen talked about how you need to have a strategy to have a successful execution of your idea assuming it's not unique. One repeat video was also in the HMM Leveraging Your Networks course; I'm surprised they would reuse content. Overall, I found the HMM Business Case course more valuable for internal projects than this one, and I wouldn't include this course in an emerging leaders program.

Lessons from week 1 at INSEAD: 1. Everyone’s super talented, in reality there’s no big fish, it’s just a notion in our mind 2. Prioritising and decision making is everything 3. There are unexplored parts of our personality, the unknown unknowns are the worst 4. Most CEOs/ leaders struggle with turnaround situations. Transformations are the hardest. Proof lies only and only in tangible success, not in best particles unfortunately 5. Having a mindset to win is a great asset, accepting defeat with lessons is a greater asset.

𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹... I had a great time teaching #changemanagement at Reutlingen University during my block seminar. Sharing my expertise on #changeleadership and #culturalchange was an enjoyable experience, especially when blending theory with practice. As we prepare our future business leaders for change management, we need to stress on key topics such as technology (#AI). It is a significant driver for change and we need to ensure that the next generation of executives is equipped with the necessary skills for this journey. I have collected a couple of case studies to demonstrate the challenges, potential solutions, and failures. We can learn a lot from failures as well. It was amazing to see international students actively working on the cases, bringing along their curiosity and knowledge to the table. Thanks to their involvement and passion for #change, we had a high-quality discussion. What are your favourite case studies and company examples when it comes to change management? What topics would you add to the curriculum for the next generation of business leaders? #peopleandculture #organizationalculture #conugere

Continuous learning Not only expands leaders' knowledge but also helps them refine their decision-making and problem-solving skills. By exposing themselves to diverse perspectives and ideas, leaders can develop a more nuanced understanding of complex issues and better navigate challenges in the workplace. Opens your mind and changes your attitude by building on what you already know. The more you learn, the better you'll get at seeing more sides of the same situation – helping you understand more deeply. Fosters a growth mindset, enabling leaders to embrace change and see it as an opportunity for improvement rather than a threat. This adaptability is essential in guiding organisations through challenges and seizing new opportunities. Problem-solving is an essential aspect of leadership. Keeps leaders ahead of the curve by ensuring they are up-to-date on the latest trends, practices, and innovations in their industry. It empowers leaders to take on new challenges and develop strategies to address problems more effectively. #continuouslearning #knowledge #decisionmaking #improvements
