Management by Orchestra – event

During the event for McKinsey & Company we presented correlation between management of the company and functioning of the orchestra. We explained how it is possible to find similarity in the role of conductor and the role of CEO, functioning of the orchestra and the company. It was achieved through carefully selected examples of music, participation of musicians, score, dialogue between the conductor and the leader, analogy between music and various business areas. The result that we achieved was the perception of the strategic issues in a completely different dimension.
