Henley Nordic Masterclass | The Human Dimension: Creating the Conditions to Perform

4 November, 16:00-19:00 at University of Helsinki's Small Hall & Online

How do you drive exceptional performance without losing the human element? Many organisations still operate on leadership principles developed for a different era: one that was shaped by stability, predictability, and incremental change. Today's leaders face a very different reality. Artificial intelligence is transforming industries, new competitors can emerge overnight, and organisations are under constant pressure to improve performance whilst simultaneously reinventing themselves for the future and maintaining a people first culture.

Against this backdrop, one question becomes more important than ever:

What is the human dimension of performance?

In our next Henley Nordic Masterclass, internationally recognised strategist and leadership expert, and a lecturer at Henley Business School Dr Mark Powell will explore why high performance and human-centred leadership are not competing priorities, but increasingly dependent on one another. Dr Powell will discuss leadership challenges such as

• how to drive efficiency whilst fostering innovation
• how to embrace technology whilst preserving humanity
• how to deliver results whilst creating environments where people can thrive.

Join us for the masterclass in Helsinki or online to explore how today's most effective leaders create the conditions for sustainable performance in a world of accelerating change, uncertainty, and opportunity.

Because in a world where technology is transforming everything, competitive advantage will increasingly come from the one thing that cannot be automated: human potential.

This topic will be further explored by an expert panel moderated by Jukka Rautiainen, Business Director at Henley Business School Nordic.

The event is free for all and provides a great networking opportunity. Register here.
