125 years of SKO: Leadership 4.0 - Everything changes?
From October 30 to November 6, 2018, the Swiss Management Organization SKO will celebrate its 125th anniversary in Lucerne. The association represents the economic, political and social interests of managers in Switzerland.
The SKO has tradition and weight: founded in 1893 as the "Schweizerischer Werkmeister-Verband", it now has 11,000 members. The association is active throughout Switzerland and is independent of party politics. It sees itself as a competence center for managers in all sectors and offers its members numerous services in the areas of continuing education, career services, legal advice, and financial and insurance services.
SKO Anniversary Event
Within the framework of the 125th anniversary of the SKO with the motto "Leadership - the Swiss Way", competent panelists will address the "Future of Leadership Switzerland". Visit the exhibition and discuss with Prof. Dr. Stephanie Kaudela-Baum, Prof. Christoph Negri as well as the two leaders of the digitalized world, Marc Blindenbacher, Swisscom, and Mathias Brenner, Sherpany, on the topic of "Leadership 4.0 - Everything is changing?".
The only constant is change, not only in the age of digitalization. What is changing for future leadership? What remains the same? Where do employees find orientation and support in complex, dynamic structures? What are the biggest challenges and success factors for today's leaders?
Join in the discussion, network and be inspired by the portraits of the 24 personalities at the subsequent vernissage of the SKO anniversary exhibition, which will show what makes Swiss leadership special. And what is needed to position Switzerland as a country of opportunity in the future.
