Estos días he tenido el
gran privilegio de participar en la 6ª edición del IWEC (International Women'sEntrepreneurial Challenge).
La Iwec es una red global para mujeres de negocios con proyectos y empresas en
mercados de todo el mundo. IWEC es una iniciativa de la Cámara de Comercio de
Barcelona, la FICCI ( Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce), la cámara de
Comercio de Cape Town y la colaboración del departamento de estado de US. Pero
sobre todo hay detrás un grupo de
mujeres que han tirado adelante para que IWEC sea y siga siendo una realidad.
El leitmotiv de toda la
conferencia escogido fue “ Força” y desde luego todas esas mujeres estaban
cargadas de Fuerza , ganas y entusiasmo!
Me gustaría compartir de
forma quizás un poco desordenada algunas frases , conceptos , ideas que me
lleve del IWEC :
- “Live is too short to pospone your dreams”
- “Everyday is a learning and a teaming experience”
- We have structural challenges ( labour market, pensions) we have to think about how are we going to change economy in order that numbers are sustainable
- The speed of change is getting faster.
- Importance of education, and having a vision and a real passion
- There is a huge convergence nowadays, however there are still huge cultural diferences
- Network!!
- Build loyal ( long term) management team.
- Ability to respond. ( be proactive)
- It’s a small world
- Don´t asume anything.
Mike Rosenberg
- Remember the past
- See the future ( scenario planning)
- Know your business: key partners, key resources, channels, revenue streams, customer segments, customer relatioships, value proposition, key activities.
- Never understimate the power of denial
- Deal with complexity.
A.Garrigues-Walker:
- Never trust a men.
- Spontaneous collaboration of free man and woman creates things
- 5 reasons to be optimistic:
- Fonts of communication
- Healthy community
- Green energy
- There is a look for a better future
- Woman
- The growth of Africa is in the hands of woman
- Technology and science will determine the future. Importance of the role of women in the technological and science world. Quota system.
- We do not have the right to be pesimistic. We need to have a positive attitude.( not even optimist but at least positive). As a general rule women are more positive than the women
- Global mindset: see the world round, we are terrible local . We need to respect other cultures.
- Importance of Ethical values:
- We can not spend much more of what you have.
- All bubbles explode
- Without ethical values growth can no t be sustainable
- The girl effect : Video
Ruth A Davis:
El discurso de la
embajadora Ruth A Davis fue sin duda uno de los mejores. Habló de liderazgo y
de las diferencias entre liderar y gestionar:
Principles of Leadership:
Principles of Leadership:
- Have a visión ( where you are going)
- Have humility. Engage your subordinates
- Select great team
The difference between leadership and management:
- Management: doing the right things; Leadership: doing the things right.
- Management: coping with complexity; Leadership : coping with change
- Managers: plan; Leasers: create a visión, dream
- Managers: resolve problems; Leaders: Focus in inspiring and motivating
"Nearly
all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give
him power." - Abraham Lincoln
Hablaron
también otras muchas personas: La profesora Nuria March del IESE; Robert Jones,
US commercial Service, Juan Maria Nin, presidente de la Caixa; se hablo de programas de mentorizacion, de
iniciativas y programas para dar soporte a mujeres emprendedoras … En resumen
una iniciativa 10 y la oportunidad de conocer y compartir en el “one to one”
con mujeres de éxito y gran nivel .
