Gartner Movie and Round Table
Innovative Organizational Structures
„A company’s culture is the foundation for future innovation.
An entrepreneurs job is to build the foundation.”
Brian Chesky – CEO and co-founder of Airbnb
Over the past few years, almost every study of business leaders has found that the key to corporate growth and out-competing others in your industry in this increasingly flat, complex and highly competitive world, is innovation. Yet, there’s often a disconnect with these macro-picture attitudes and the micro-picture realities: few C-level leaders actually declare that Job #1 for them is unleashing greater creativity by employees and institutionalizing a sustainable system for harnessing it for new product, service, process and other innovations.
Leadership is key to innovation in the corporate setting and helps for the company culture to become more diverse and sustainable. Many companies resist change and perceive the innovator as a “deviant”. Great strategic leaders at exponential organizations aid innovation and creativity in the company culture.
How different Hungarian companies follow the innovative organizational structures?
Do they manage to institutionalize innovation?
Is creativity supported or accepted when a difficult problem needs to be solved?
Are company leaders are trained and skilled enough to help innovation and make organizational changes taking into consideration the exponentially growing technological developments?
At our next event, as representatives of Gartner in Bulgaria and Hungary we would like to find the answers to these kinds of questions.

Participants of Round Table
Dr. Robert Dobay
introduction:
Dr. Robert Dobay is an influential business thinker and coach who bravely goes against the mainstream and challenges conventional leadership practices. In spite of his young age he has unique experiences in business and leadership development, organization transformation and change management.
Due to his practical thinking, extraordinary creativity and personal efficiency, he reached the top of his career in his thirties: he was Managing Director of IBM-EMEA Delivery Centre and CEO of Getronics – Global Service Center.
Thereafter, Robert decided to get off the treadmill and has started a new career: based on his business experiences he founded Menedzsmentor to support his clients to put their strengths to work in change processes. Instead of problem fixing, building on individual and organizational strengths is the center of his approach. It is much more efficient to obtain emotional commitment of the participants this way. His basic principle is whether we think short or long term, there’s no best practice which can lead to fast and spectacular results in any situation.
He can make visible changes in relatively short time that clients speak in flattering terms about. He is considered as one of the 30 best-known business coaches in Hungary.
