[PL/EN] Navigating through ambiguity - evolving leadership roles for the new reality

The events of recent years, from lockdowns to the situation across our eastern border, continue to challenge leaders and their organizational approach. Many traditionally stable industries now find themselves in a new paradigm, turning to technology to meet the new reality.

With many similar surprises awaiting us in the comping years, alongside the exponential development of game-changing technologies, will redefine the rules of the game for all. As customer expectations and behaviours change, company leaders need to adapt new models for their organizational, team and personal effectiveness.

[PL/EN] A Journey to Integrate Project and Product Management Description

[PL/EN] A Journey to Integrate Project and Product Management

Main language: Polish

Project management has evolved somewhat alongside product management. Many companies even set up independent siloes to cover each of these areas. Yet, the product management cycle naturally intertwines with programs and projects. That is why many organizations today combine these areas and manage them in an integrated manner. We have also recognized this at PMI by establishing close cooperation with PDMA (Product Development and Management Association).

In this presentation, I will share the conclusions from over a year of work of an international team of experts from both organizations, of which I had the pleasure to be a member. Many of our findings can be applied immediately in ongoing projects, while many might lead to profound changes in organizations. Many businesses have already taken this path and today they look at the area of product-related projects in a completely different way.

[PL] Keeping e-commerce alive by going headless

Workshop conducted in Polish.

After licensing products from the Star Wars universe, no one at Lego expected that their great success would end in... a great failure of e-commerce systems. The fastest ship in the galaxy - the Millennium Falcon set, was pursued not only by the forces of the Empire, but also by hundreds of thousands of fans around the world! Instead of attacking the Death Star, the Falcon hit straight at Lego's internal IT systems... The rescue was to cut off the head of e-commerce... that is, to switch to a headless system.
During the workshop, we will consider how to anticipate and get ahead of such situations, and effectively carry out the implementation of headless solutions. We will talk about the MACH approach, which already, in this galaxy, is the basis of the most complex digital channels.

[PL/EN] 5 risks for a security breach – what can happen to business data if you fail to secure it? Description

[PL/EN] 5 risks for a security breach – what can happen to business data if you fail to secure it?

Main language: Polish

Effectively establishing IT security in a company's operations strategy is the basis for building and maintaining a process, and therefore also peace of mind and resilience to media storms.

The issue of security is usually treated in a low-key manner, with active measures only taken in emergency situations and in "firefighting" mode. Companies assume such threats do not affect them - that they are well secured and don’t need to invest in cybersecurity.

Do we know how to price the risk of a security breach in a company? Are we able to protect against financial as well as image risks? What can happen to business data if you fail to secure it?

Main language: Polish

For several years now, some manufacturers have been preparing to take over the slaes process from existing distributors. For them, investing in online commerce means not only digitizing their existing processes, but digitally transforming their operating model.

The D2C model brings numerous benefits, such as the ability to reach previously unserved consumer groups or to increase revenues by launching new sales channels. At the same time, this approach is fraught with risks, such as the cannibalization of sales with current (B2B) counterparties.

[PL] Cybersecurity is not a buzzword. Safe digital transformation of business

Workshop conducted in Polish.

Digital transformation is rapidly accelerating, and with it the frequency and severity of cyber-attacks. E-commerces represent huge customer knowledge bases – each a treasure trove of personal and financial information. Data leakage, under GDPR, can mean a penalty of 2-4% of your annual turnover from the previous year, with a maximum of EUR 20 million. For any company, data loss also has its relational costs – rebuilding customer trust can take years. So, how can you protect both your e-business and online customers? How can you ensure that company branches around the world are just as secure as the rest? How can you effectively secure a company that only partially operates in the cloud? During the workshop, we will talk about IT security in an accessible and simple way! We will discuss the facts and debunk myths, as well as analyze other people’s mistakes and – more importantly – explain what to do so as not to repeat them. Do you think it doesn’t concern you? Take part in the workshops and see for yourself!

[EN] Build your automation strategy and turn business capabilities into building blocks for profitable growth

Workshop conducted in English.

Whether it’s building connected customer experiences, saving costs or quickly scaling to changing market demands, the benefits of automation are unmistakable. Yet many IT leaders struggle to enable automation across their enterprise — and do it in the right way.

We have designed the workshops to help attendees understand automation in the context of their own concrete business goals, then work through interactive exercises that result in actionable outputs. Specifically, we intend that workshop attendees will be better able to answer the following questions once they leave:

- Which of my organization’s strategic business goals can automation help out with?
- What automation products will be most helpful in supporting these goals?
- Which of these automation products will provide the starting points with the best ROI?
- How can I launch a “minimum viable program” for my automation strategy?

Workshop conducted in Polish.

With a rapidly changing economy, businesses are increasingly asking themselves how they can cope with such unpredictability. Often, they look to both processes and technologies to provide the optimal solution.

Can the digital transformation of B2B sales answer these challenges?

To meet the expectations of both customers and public perception, digital channels are a prerequisite addition to traditional sales. It’s difficult to imagine today’s companies competing through wholly analogue methods.

Digital transformation gives companies a chance to protect margins, profits, cost flexibility and, perhaps most importantly, the opportunity to attract new customers and revenues.

When faced with a falling market, how can such transformation processes be carried out effectively and with the full commitment of the B2B sales team?
