THE highly successful Three Talks held at luxury retail complex Three On the Bund will kick of its 2009 series of speaking forums on Friday with best-selling author, management leader Peter Senge.
Dr Senge will discuss how senior managers can make their organizations more adaptive to change, particularly in these uncertain economic times.
Last year the Three Talks attracted top-line speakers and a range of high-profile panelists who discussed a range of topics from the rise of India and China and its effect on the world, and the financial crisis to more local issues like the importance of the Bund.
Some of the speakers at the well-attended and popular talks included Nobel Prize winning economist Kenneth Arrow and the Dean of Harvard Business School, Jay O. Light.
The ongoing forums aim to bring people together to listen and exchange views on a range of important subjects usually pertaining to current social trends or events.
Speeches are always followed by a question and answer session giving the audience the opportunity to initiate discussions.
Talks are also usually simultaneously translated. The Three Talks are part of Three on the Bund's "Three Spirit 'Patrons of Three'" that aim to promote the values of philanthropy, sensitivity and unity through diversity in the arts and culture.
Yan Guoqiang, vice chairman of the Shanghai Commerce Commission, will chair Friday's talk. Dr Senge, a senior lecturer at MIT's Sloan School of Management, will discuss management techniques outlined in such best-selling books as "The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization."
Dr Senge has lectured extensively throughout the world, translating the abstract ideas of systems theory into tools for the better understanding of economic and organizational change.?
He has focused on decentralizing the role of leadership in an organization so as to unleash the capacities of all its members to work productively toward a common goal.
Published in 1990, "The Fifth Disciple" has sold more than 1 million copies worldwide and in 1997, Harvard Business Review identified it as one of the seminal management books of the last 75 years.
Dr Senge has also authored many articles published in both academic journals and the business press on systems thinking in management.
The event will be held from 5pm to 7pm at the Shanghai Art Gallery on the third floor of Three on the Bund.
Anyone interested can contact Lisa Hong on 6329-9921 or email threetalk@on-the-bund.com.
Seats are strictly limited and printed confirmation slips issued by Three on the Bund are required for entry.
