“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.
