About the speaker:
David Gruber (*1955) is called „the first among lecturers and coaches“ on the area of former Czechoslovakia. In 1984, he upgraded a disorderly cluster of managerial soft skills to a serious scientific discipline with its peculiar subject, methodology, classification system, publications and teaching. He called this discipline „mental work ways“, later on „beneopedics“. He invented a world-new approach to solving personal development challenges - the multimethods (instead of classic methods).
David Gruber became famous esp. by his two educational TV series, each of them consisting of 10 sequels: Speed Reading Training (1986), Time Management and Computers (1988). He is unparalleled in the Czech Rep. in amount of guided trainings (almost 1000 trainings since 1983), in amount of sold books (over 1 million pieces, 57 titles) and sold magazine articles in his branch (over 200 million pieces).

Adapting to the economic reset: a survival guide to real estate success
January 26, 2012 Four Seasons Hotel Prague, Veleslavínova 2A/1098, Prague 1
The Czech economy, much like today's global economy except for those nations which have maintained their own currency and are without massive sovereign debt issues, is generally in step with the economies of western, central and eastern Europe as well as the United States regarding the challenges we face on an ongoing basis; where we are today is as good as it gets! This is not a blip on the economic radar, it is an absolute "economic reset" and the starting point of where we go from here. We are totally connected and interdependent and we must face these issues together. How we attack the challenges before us will shape our success or determine our failure. Will we be a business casualty or will we adapt? Quality and service are more in demand than ever, and price, while very important, is not the sole determining factor to the occupier (nor should it be). As services providers as well as occupiers in our own right, we must be transparent, think well outside "the box" and provide both current and long-term solutions. We must lead, not follow; we must be in front of the challenge, therefore being proactive and not reactive! This is all about partnership....strategic partnership and winning together. This is about "alignment of interests" and understanding one's needs and goals. The panel will address the challenges and discuss solutions of how the industry's participants must adapt to change for a better today and tomorrow. Speakers: - Romain Andreoli of Optimal Facility - Christopher Guilds of AIG Lincoln - Alan Hájek of UniCredit Group - Otakar Martinec of Weinhold Legal - Ondřej Štrup of IFMA Moderator: - Wayne A.

“Czech Eating Habits - Challenge for Business?” Business Case of Strategic Social Responsibility
December 13, 2011 AmCham Offices, Dušní 10, Praha 1
Who should attend? Business leaders and strategists from food and beverage industry, hotels and restaurants, health care and all professionals interested in new trends in corporate social responsibility. The discussion will be held in the Czech language this time. Please see more details about focus of the discussion below. Češi a jejich stravovací návyky jako výzva pro byznys? Diskuse o praktických příkladech strategické sociální odpovědnosti firem Podle odborníků na problematiku výživy je v České republice v této oblasti už léta podceňovaná osvěta a „moderní“ konzumní způsob života se podepisuje na stavu naší společnost. Důsledkem jsou například zhoršující se stravovací návyky malých dětí, zvyšující se riziko výživové nedostatečnosti seniorů, nahrazování školního stravování fast food stravou apod. Popsané problémy můžou být ale zároveň výzvou pro firmy, které působí v odpovídajících odvětvích. Existují produkty nebo služby, které by mohly přispět ke zlepšení popsané situace a zároveň by znamenaly příležitost pro váš byznys? Jaké kroky či inovace mohou v předstihu napomoci změnám „pravidel hry“ a podmínek pro budoucí podnikání? Může posílení osvěty pozitivně působit na společnost i konkurenční výhodu firem? Cílem diskuse je nabídnout podněty ke strategickému plánování a na specifickém příkladu ukázat, že když se firma věnuje společenskému problému, kterému rozumí a který ji zároveň trápí, je schopná nabídnout efektivní způsob řešení prospěšný firmě i společnosti. V diskusi vystoupí: Peter Sokol, Manažer, CSR Consult Petr Havel, agrární analytik, předseda Klubu zemědělských novinářů a publicistů Martin Walter, Corporate Affairs, Nestlé Renata Lukášová, Head of Local Sales, Zátiší Group Registrace on-line nebo na registration@amcham.cz Pro více informací můžete kontaktovat Evu Chvalkovskou na echvalkovska@amcham.cz

What makes organisational change happen? (Diagnostics of Corporate Culture)_workshop
November 25, 2011 AmCham offices, Dušní 10, Prague 1
In a word, people.
People make the organisation. So how do you get people to work toward a better organisation?
How do you get everybody on the same page, at the same time, moving in the right direction?
Human Synergistics provide very detailed look into organizational culture.
As a participant of this workshop you will be able to experience the OCI, Organizational Culture Inventory, recognized as one of the most widely used and thoroughly researched organizational surveys in the world.
The OCI provides a picture of organization’s operating culture in terms of behaviours that member believe are expected or implicitly required. By guiding the way in which members approach their work and interact with one another, these “behavioral norms” determine the organization’s capacity to solve problems, adapt to change, and perform effectively.
Feedback Provided: The OCI results illustrate individual normative beliefs (when the perspective of only one person is plotted) or the shared behavioral expectations that operate within the organization (when the perspectives of multiple people are combined). A picture of the preferred culture is provided when the OCI Ideal is administered. Should you like to learn more about Human Synergistics tools prior to the workshop, please visit the website www.humansynergistics.com
