Building Resilience & Handling Stress In Uncertain Times

About this Event

Today’s environment is filled with setbacks and unexpected challenges. VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) is the new normal, and the impact of serious crises such as market shocks, governmental instability and pandemics can’t be ignored. For leaders who hope to accelerate performance and capitalize on change and uncertainty, creating a resilient organization that can successfully “bounce back” and grow from adverse experiences is critical. Few of us can change the environment in which we operate – but we can control how we prepare and respond to the events around us. This session is designed to bring leaders together to learn about and reflect on new research from Dale Carnegie Training and others on workplace resilience.

Smart Workspaces

Everything is becoming smart. Your phones, your TV and even your fridge. But it’s not just happening in your social life, it’s also happening in the workplace. Offices are becoming more intelligent through the adoption of new technologies.

People expect to be to be connected seamlessly and instantly to the world around them. The Internet of Things (IoT) is enabling businesses to give their people instant access to physical objects and systems, making it much easier to enable flexible ways of working. People see it as the norm to be able to access their email from a train, or book a meeting from home. And if a business doesn’t offer their people the smart technology they need to perform, they’re at risk of losing their best talent.

 Connected

Building systems, log- ins and workplace technology should all be interconnected to make your working life simple and seamless. Smart workplaces mean there’s less need for sticky notes and passwords. People can securely access information on the spot from either inside or outside of the office through pioneering technologies such as beacons and VPNs (Virtual Private Networks).

Effective

We tend to harp on about efficiency, but what use is that if it’s not effective? Smarter ways of working, meaning people can be more productive at work. They can work flexibly and choose the best areas to work in based on their task. And happy people with higher performance levels have a more effective impact on the company and its bottom line.

Technology

To be smart, you need the smarts, e.g. the smart phones, the intelligent data etc. So it’s no surprise that you need smart technology to drive any smart workspace transformation. Technology will allow you to create more streamlined processes, more accurate statistics and better places to conduct business.

 Dynamic

Smart workplaces embrace agile working cultures and equip people with the dynamic spaces and resources they need to perform. As people become less micro-managed and more self-motivated, they’ll become more active by nature and need greater accessibility from their workplace.

Business Incubator

MAZ has reformulated the traditional model transforming to a knowledge-base and innovative entrepreneurship framework. We are guided with principles that follow the necessities for economic growth. It inspires entrepreneur to act as the game changer and effective leaders to redirect values of the entrepreneurial community and environmental

An organization designed to accelerate the growth and success of entrepreneurial companies through an array of business support resources and services that could include physical space, capital, coaching, common services, and networking connections.

Their goal is to help create and grow young businesses by providing them with necessary support and financial and technical services.

Incubators provide numerous benefits to owners of startup businesses. Their office and manufacturing space is offered at below-market rates, and their staff supplies advice and much-needed expertise in developing business and marketing plans as well as helping to fund fledgling businesses. Companies typically spend an average of two years in a business incubator, during which time they often share telephone, secretarial office, and production equipment expenses with other startup companies, in an effort to reduce everyone’s overhead and operational costs.

Not all business incubators are alike, however, so if you have a specialized idea for a business, try to find the incubator that best suits your requirements.

If an incubation program seems interesting to you, be prepared to submit a fleshed-out business plan. The plan will be reviewed by a screening committee to determine whether or not you meet the criteria for admission. Incubators carefully screen potential businesses because their space, equipment, and finances are limited, and they want to be sure they’re choosing to nurture businesses with the best possible chance for success.

MAZ is a place where individuals are led to adapt innovation and enterprising thoughts which develops individuals’ abilities to manage start up business towards progress and growth. Empowered to practice the business incubation system where seed business ideas are nurtured through mentoring and facilitating the needs for business success.
