The Strategy SIG is a special interest group of the Irish Academy of Management.
Committee: Prof Robert Galavan (Chair), Prof Pat Gibbons UCD, Prof Brian Leavy DCU, Dr Jim Quinn TCD, Dr Brian Harney DCU, Prof John Fahy UL, Prof Aidan O’Driscoll DIT.
This unique event is jointly convened by the Irish Academy of Management (Strategy Special Interest Group) and the
British Academy of Management (Organisational Transformation, Change and Development Special Interest Group).
It was inspired by an engagement between the two academies and a desire to engage with a pluriverse of ideas. The session will be (lightly) chaired
by Professor Robert Galavan from Maynooth University and Dr Joanne Murphy from Queens University Belfast.
Speakers
Dr Liz Hayes (CEO Corporate Community consultancy firm)
Dr Anne Clare Gillon (Senior Lecturer in Management, University of West Scotland)
Prof Bill Cooke (Professor in Strategic Management, University of York)
The communities of practice associated with Organisational Development are diverse, and nuanced as on-going debates around the ‘why’
and ‘how’ of building organisational capacity remain live and contested. At the same time, the challenges associated with creating organisations that
stay nimble and inclusive in an increasingly fragmented global context are causing a resurgence of interest in how values of human connection
and more autonomous forms of organising and leadership are possible.
The conversation will engage with several ‘intersections’ associated with framing organisational development as a strategic tool for human
resource management and/or as a starting point for ‘making sense’ of organisations using a framing that is more informed by context and a more
provocative analysis of politics and power.
The speakers bring differing perspectives to the topic. Dr Liz Hayes is CEO of Corporate Community, a hugely respected consultancy firm with over
25 years of practice working with companies to find sustainable ways to support change. Dr Anne Clare Gillon is a Senior Lecturer in Management
at the University of West Scotland and her most recent research interrogates the practice-academic divide in organisational development. Bill Cooke
is Professor in Strategic Management at the University of York and one of the leading thinkers and writers in the field.
Who should attend?
The event will be of interest to strategic level practitioners and consultants engaged in organisational development, transformation or change.
It will also be of interest to academics researching and teaching in the field as it examines the reflection of academic rhetoric in practice.

The event will take place on Monday 15th October 2018 in the Lambay Room, Charter Accountants House, 47-49 Pearse Street Dublin 2
from 9 am to 1 pm.

Developing Strategic Leaders
Leadership Meta-Competencies for a Changing World
We face a competitive global environment characterized by turbulence, complexity and change. Developing leaders who can perform effectively under these conditions is an enormous challenge.

This session will share some of the leadership development lessons and experiences from the Executive Development Roundtable, a Boston-based consortium of major corporate and non-profit organizations, as well as our own research and teaching at Boston University.
