We all know these corporate gatherings and workshops. Fly in and fly out! In between, lots of mail checking, water cooler talks and… Well, you just know that culture is eating any new strategy for breakfast. You’ve seen it many times.
But:
What if… there’s corporate development that feels different?
What if… there’s conversation you do not want to miss?
What if… there’s a corporate event spreading the new that feels almost like fun…?
What if… there’s something that feels like old Greece, kind of Socrates hanging out telling stories that are valid for a long time?
Could we regain that special feeling when work was not just work but also something else?
Well maybe there is! And it’s definitely not more of the same and definitely not your daddy’s corporate culture.
Of course the ”pumpernickel“ of corporate development will be included:
- Defining visions, goals, and strategies. Establishing commitment, deriving actionable steps.
- Initiating and implementing changes. Getting off the ground what is needed to create a solid foundation for sustainable success.
- Analyzing corporate culture and values. Reflecting on the “lived” culture. Does it support the company’s strategy? Acting as an enabler to make a future-proof culture possible.
- Determining the purpose, the “why” of the company. Clarifying the big picture so rowing in the same direction might be a bliss.
- Driving innovation, implementing ideas, using tools of design thinking and agile project management and business model canvas.
- Translating New Work meaningfully for your organization. Rethinking collaboration and leadership, enabling empowerment and creativity.
But who says that work on these important issues has to be boring? The road to the NEW should not be paved with yawns, groans, and complaints! To be efficient, the new must strut along casually. Hard in content but different in style.
Getting your company through transformation is hard work! But what if the transition can be sweaty work, hard soul searching, and still be exciting, and funny and entertaining at the same time?
Cherno Jobatey is here to support new strategies, corporate and business development, and all the challenges we have to face in these times of digitization.
He is working with newest insights of academic business research, HR-tools, psychology, media impact research as well as ancient tools like rhetoric or storytelling.
Fiefdom Platform Arena? Turning Transformation into Experience with consultant & executive coach Cherno Jobatey
It blends good business strategy with inspiration, storytelling, and real interaction to give firms a new approach to develop and change. It doesn’t just provide teams a „fly in, fly out“ training; it gives them experiences that last and give them energy, which leads to real transformation.
Most business events are about strategy and structure, but they don’t pay enough attention to emotion and experience. Cherno Jobatey’s format is hard in content yet light in style, combining rigorous business thinking with humor, curiosity, and dialogue that feels alive, not forced. It’s transformation that people want to be part of.
The course covers all the critical components of growing a contemporary organization, like setting goals, vision, and strategy; starting and carrying out change; aligning corporate culture and principles; and having a clear purpose and direction. Participants will get new ideas, get an intro into design thinking and will put new work ideas into action.
Both. The content is based on research, strategy, and organizational psychology, but it is presented in an energetic, funny, and story-based way. Think of it as „serious fun“: it makes you think, it makes you feel, and it’s very interesting.
Leaders, HR departments, innovators, and businesses that are evolving. This format will be useful and new for anyone who wants to improve their culture, come up with new ideas, or think about how people work together in a different way.
To make change happen, not just something people talk about. People leave feeling inspired, on the same page, and ready to turn strategic goals into a shared purpose and action. It’s about getting that spark back when work was more than just work; it was something that mattered.
Cherno uses both old and new ways of doing things, such as narrative, rhetoric, design thinking, agile management, and new ways of running a firm. He also looks at things from the media, business, and psychology to make sure that everything he does is beneficial and strong.
People know that Cherno can make dull topics interesting. He leverages all he knows about the media, entertainment, his schooling, and his narrative talents to make the trip exciting, instructive, and helpful for everyone. After the event, people filled out questionnaires that said, „Cherno Jobatey is the best; he is magic to a business meeting!“
Picture a blend of a strategy class, a fun conversation, and a storytelling session with Socrates that is both useful and fun to remember.
Change doesn’t have to be hard or dull. With the right mix of brains, feelings, and experience, changing a business is not only possible, but also fun, a journey that everyone wants to go on.
