Kazimieras Simonavicius University and Next Society Institute invites to the discussion Next2Next, which will take place on June 7th at 15:00-16:30 (EEST) in the Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania, in Statehood Space (2nd floor, room 237).
Everyone is so clearly focused on knowing what exactly is occurring next. That’s the idea with “planning” and making sure, that expectations are fulfilled.
- Next2Next marks what is NOT seen, as politicians and corporations engage with their imagined futures. It’s the necessary “companionship of ignorance”, that all complex systems must operate within as a basic premise. But it also marks a clear reference to next society.
- Next2Next marks the counter-intuitive approach, as planning and managing works along the intuitive perception of imagined futures.
- Next2Next similarly marks Next Society Institute being NEXT to any emerging policy, managerial approach and organizational operation. Next election, next market, next challenge.
In the intensive session on Next2Next stakeholders and experts will discuss and elaborate on how your institutional approach to leadership, management, and policy copes with a brittle environment, when the illusion of control vanishes, predictability erodes, and knowledge becomes uncertain.
Together with the leaders of the Next Society Institute Steffen Roth and Lars Clausen, Dovilė Gaižauskienė (Senior Policy Analyst at the Government Strategic Analysis Center of Lithuania), Denis Chichmaryov (Country Head for EPAM Lithuania and EPAM Latvia) and Clement Le Bechennec (Global Sales Director at Teltonika Energy) will brainstorm on what tools are needed for leadership and management to withstand and prosper in the next society.
This discussion is a part of Next Society Institute „Tool Factory“ meeting, which will take place on 7-10th of June in Vilnius.
On 24 May, KSU organised workshop “IP Strategy for startups“, which was led by prof. dr. Mindaugas Kiškis – law and management professor, attorney, co-founder of several technology startups, with over two decades of research, legal and consulting services in technology regulation and policy, intellectual property, and entrepreneurship.
During the seminar, it was discussed how to plan and make business decisions in the field of intellectual property, and examples of real startups and small and medium-sized companies were examined. The participants of the workshop had the opportunity to get acquainted with the main factors determining the intellectual property strategy, ways of responding to competitors’ business and legal actions related to intellectual property rights.
During the event, LL.M. study programme “Data Economy Law“ developed by Kazimieras Simonavicius University and partners from University for Continuing Education Krems (Austria), The University of Göttingen (Germany) and Masaryk University (Czech Republic) was presented.
The workshop was a dissemination event of the project “Transdisciplinary Digital Education in Data-Driven Management: Innovative, Sustainable and Inclusive Approaches to Support StartUps, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Europe” (DDM4SME).
