Open Space – the floor is yours!

On the second day we would like to propose the Open Space formula.
We will let the participants decide what will be discussed and what we are going to listen to.
What does it mean for you?
You will design the day!
You will have an opportunity to propose the topic for discussion and moderate it.
You will have a possibility to take part in the discussion which should be interesting for you – but if it isn’t, you are free to change the room whenever you want.
It is a chance to meeet and talk to as many people as you wish.
And more importantly it’s a chance to ask difficult questions and receive an adequate answer, perhaps an answer you have been searching for a very long time.

Rules??? You make the rules.

kwiatkowski Smart governance w Smart City – na przykładzie instytucji kultury
Jacek Kwiatkowski, Uniwersytet Jagielloński
Na warsztacie dowiemy się, jak zaprojektować model funkcjonowania miejskiej instytucji kultury w kontekście paradygmatu SMART CITY.  W pracy warsztatowej służyć nam będzie konkretny przykład miejskiej instytucji kultury, która – obok zarządzania strategicznego w oparciu o Strategiczną Kartę Wyników, stosowania zasad controllingu i zarządzania projektowego – postanowiła dostosować swój model funkcjonowania (model biznesowy) do wdrażanej w dużym mieście strategii rozwoju skoncentrowanej na nowoczesnym podejściu do paradygmatu Miasta Inteligentnego. Poznamy powody tej decyzji, obawy towarzyszące tej pracy oraz efekty końcowe. Każdy z uczestników będzie mógł wczuć się w rolę kreatora nowej struktury w instytucji kultury przyszłości i samemu zaproponować najbardziej optymalne rozwiązania. Dzięki temu każdy uczestnik dowie się, jak podobną zmianę dokonać w swojej organizacji, nie tylko o charakterze publicznym

baraniak Working together in complicated organisations: how does a UK University compare to your business?
Stephen Yorkstone
Universities in the UK have a strong international reputation for academic acheivement. but, they also have a reputation for over complicated processes. This workshop will start with a presentation on how Lean has emerged in British Universities; some of the challenges to applying lean in this context; and how this learning has shed new light on Lean concepts. As small groups we will then work to identify where there may be complex challenges in our own organisations, and together identify strategies to overcome these. Finally we will have a plenary discussion on naming different strategies to embedding lean currently in use in British Higher Education, and compare these with models utilised in our own organisations.
