HEC Montréal's School for Leaders offers many training courses in the summer, the perfect season to take a step back and acquire new skills.
We therefore invite you to combine pleasure and learning in a relaxed setting by participating online in one of them – why not directly from your patio! – or by coming in person to meet extraordinary people and make this period a moment of rejuvenation.
This summer, develop your digital, communication, and strategic expertise to start 2023-2024 with vigor. These 3 essential skills in the workplace will ensure you stand out, as will your organization.
1- Why digital intelligence?
Today, we no longer have the choice of integrating digital intelligence into our decisions, as it is an essential link within companies. Data science and artificial intelligence (AI) enable managers to understand, adopt, and leverage their organizations' data to contribute to their success.
In marketing, data culture is essential for creating a differentiated customer experience and winning strategies. In an increasingly digitized world, the use of AI is more than an advantage: it brings added value to any business.
2- Communication at the heart of everything
Being an inspiring, authentic person who communicates information well, mobilizes their team and colleagues, gets their ideas across, and influences others: all these qualities are essential for generating interest. Communicating effectively is an indispensable skill for informing and persuading in all spheres of management.
Does that seem obvious to you? Think again, it's not something everyone has, but it can be worked on. We therefore offer you several training courses that will allow you to take action and self-assess your communication, including:
3- Strategy, Always Strategy
Essential in management, strategy offers organizations the possibility to determine how to achieve their objectives. To do this, these objectives must be clear, and appropriate tactics must be implemented. A good strategy represents a significant competitive advantage by allowing the company to stand out in the market and ensure its sustainability.
In these uncertain times, it is essential for managers to take a moment to step back and anticipate upcoming changes, and to equip themselves with a robust game plan to react quickly to the unexpected.
