SUMMARY:LHoFT & KPMG Webinar: Building an Innovation Culture
DESCRIPTION:Description\nBuilding an innovation culture : Ways to inspire cultural change and embrace innovation\nAlice Danoy\, Khube Leader\, KPMG Luxembourg \nSabrina Bonnet\, Senior Manager\, People & Change\, KPMG Luxembourg \nChange is imperative. Yet many financial organizations’ large-scale transformation initiatives meet with setbacks\, delays and even failure. Those that succeed are soon confronted with a painful truth: they are not leapfrogging. \nAt best\, transformation can put these organizations on par with their newer\, more nimble competitors. As the pace of change continues to accelerate\, organizations across the financial services industry are seeking the way forward. Financial institutions must create the agility and digital capacity to compete with the start-ups and hyperscales encroaching on the financial sector to achieve long-term success — but how? \nThere are three steps to achieving success in the innovation space. During the webinar Alice and Sabrina will share with you KPMG’s best practices on how to: \n\nBuild an innovation culture – Leadership & inspiration\nBuild innovative solutions in collaboration with the business – the importance of cross functional collaboration\nSee employees and customers as a R&D department – Crowdsource employee insight and solutions\n\nAll three of these steps are necessary\, but they must be worked through in order to achieve success. Culture\, therefore\, is the foundation upon which all successful innovation must be built — and it is in the development of innovation culture where many financial institutions go awry. \nSpeakers Bios \nAlice has more than 12 years of experience in communication and innovation. She is in charge of the Khube (KPMG Luxembourg’s Hub for Entrepreneurship and Innovation)\, KPMG innovation practice. She is linking the Fintech and corporate ecosystems of Luxembourg and beyond. Alice currently leads innovation strategy projects for clients in the financial industry; helping them finding innovative solutions and new business model to stay competitive. \nSabrina has almost 20 years of experience in Human Resources in Luxembourg. Before joining KPMG\, Sabrina started her career as Senior Payroll Administrator during 5 years to join a fund administration company as Human Resources Services Manager for 8 years afterwards. Her team was in charge of providing services (HR administration\, payroll\, benefits management) in different countries in Continental Europe. Sabrina currently leads the People and change team and human resources projects with a focus on strategy\, HR processes and remuneration surveys.

SUMMARY:International Webinar: Building exciting brands by using a leadership mindset
DESCRIPTION:Description\nBuilding exciting brands by using a leadership mindset with Mihai Bonca\, Senior Marketing Consultant and Clinical Lecturer\, MBA\, University of Oxford\nFiday\, June 10th from 12h00 to 12h45\nSuccessful marketing can be described as applied thought leadership applied into a specific marketplace. It creates ownable competitive advantages by building relationships\, trust and long-term consumer value. Empowers companies know more about their audience than competitors do. Differentiates brands\, ensures attachment\, leads to longer customer lifetime value and as a result\, higher profitability. Any leading organization operates in a meaningful H2H (humans to humans) space\, not in B2B or B2C. \nHowever\, the majority of brands are commodities\, pitching clients mainly on lower price and promos. They fail to build distinction or devotion. Their strategies usually lack leadership\, strategy\, consumer “Big Ideas”\, human experience and rely on daily tactics. As a consequence\, profitability struggles as well. \nAgenda\n1. Competitive Advantages:\n\nLeaders create superior performance by better understanding customers and differentiating against competition\nWe will debate about the principle of building on strengths and minimizing flaws. To achieve that\, a company should prioritize\, focus on “Points of Difference”\, aiming to become dissimilar. Should avoid waste on “Traps” and “Nice to have”. Competitive Weaknesses should be minimized in time as “Points of Parity”\nTwo main positionings: low margins/ high volumes vs. differentiation/ specialization\nKey tool: Competitive Map\n\n2. Brand Architecture:\n\nThe architecture shows the way a brand connects with the outside world through a mix of performance and promises. We will highlight how the leading brands are built through a clear ambition\, values\, beliefs\, benefits\, arguments\, personality and design elements.\nIn successful cases a brand becomes a magnetic artefact\, able to attract a loyal “tribe” of customers\nBest in class examples: old school – Mastercard vs. Visa\, new school – Revolut\nKey tool: Brand Relationship Ladder\n\nBio sketch:\nMihai Bonca is a Senior Consultant at Brand Architects.
