Cooperation and management
Enter the agile way of management and learn to successfully and effectively collaborate and communicate with your colleagues.
Innovation, adaptation and continuous improvement are key characteristics of organizations in today's world. They are essential for long-term sustainability and growth. Do you remember Nokia or Kodak? These can be an example of what it might look like when you fall asleep.
Innovation generally allows you to create a competitive advantage. Continuous innovation enables the development of new and better products, services and processes, which differentiates an organization from its competitors and enables it to gain more market share. They are also key to adapting to market changes, technological advances and changing customer preferences. Organizations that are able to innovate are more flexible and better able to adapt to new trends and challenges.
Of course, innovation means something different in every organization. Definitions also vary from department to department. If you are not inventing new products, then you do not need to focus so much on the concept of a persona, UX design or the use of a Minimal Viable Product. It will be more interesting and useful for you to innovate, for example, in the way of cooperation. In practice, this may mean, for example, the introduction of a transparent task board and regular short and effective readings of the status.
Come and get inspired, how ideas can be verified and done with minimal costs. How do big companies like Spotify or McDonalds do it.
We review and apply innovative approaches to the entire life cycle of product creation – from the request to the final product. There is no need to be bound by its form, it can be a physical product or service. For an internal or external customer. Innovation principles can be applied anywhere.

90 % Fortune 500 CEOs surveyed said they want to be agile. What does that actually mean? And how is the agile management method better than the classic one. And is it even better?
Agility is different from the classic project and line approach. It's all about mindset - how we look at change and whether we can use it to our advantage. It is about people, common sense and the added value of the activities we do. There are also methodologies that you may have already heard of - Kanban and Scrum. These can be very useful in managing people and work. But it is necessary to implement and use them correctly. If you can do this, you'll take your flexibility to the next level. Still, there are cases where it's better to stick with classic waterfall and avoid agility.

The world of management is changing. We've had a couple of years at home during the pandemic, now teams often work hybridly. Leadership is one of the common buzz words of today, and Agility and its principles and values are mentioned in Generali. You may be wondering what agility can mean in practice for you and your teams.
According to a recent study, the most common problems in team functioning include ineffective communication between managers and their subordinates, overloading people, and disappearing teamwork and culture. We also often don't know how to motivate employees remotely, and remote burnout syndrome is emerging. Communication with the company has often been reduced to online meetings, pressure for performance, and metrics. The online way of working places new demands on managers. Trust, support for collaboration, and empathy play a primary role and often determine a healthy atmosphere, well-being, and team performance.
An agile approach - agile leadership - helps to adapt to new circumstances.
It supplements the general principles of leadership with elements, values and principles of agile management. It is related to a safe and transparent corporate culture and defines an approach to change. We do not see change as a threat but as a part of life that must be reckoned with and we need to adapt quickly and flexibly. Agile leadership also requires trust in people, strong leadership in the sense of holding the right direction and clear definition of goals. The correct application of agile leadership then brings in practice a reduction in waste, higher team efficiency, its greater flexibility, autonomy and self-management.
