Senior Executive Forum 2024 - Professors Ethan Bernstein & Tiona Zuzul
As leaders how do we effectively collaborate to bring about change in an era when the nature of work itself is changing? What do executives need to consider in this new environment? How do leaders navigate and interpret an ambiguous landscape to formulate effective strategies?
Throughout this immersive residential program, you will engage in the famous Harvard Business School case study model to explore scenarios and apply the learnings back into your own organisation.
2.5 Days (Residential Program)
Speakers
Ethan Bernstein is the Edward W. Conard Associate Professor of Business Administration in the Organisational Behaviour unit at the Harvard Business School.
Ethan Bernstein teaches the second-year MBA course in Managing Human Capital, the Harvard Business School Online course on Developing Yourself as a Leader and various executive education programs.
In an era when the nature of work is changing, Professor Bernstein studies the impact of workplace transparency - the observability of employee activities, routines, behaviours, output, and/or performance - on productivity, with implications for leadership, collaboration, organisation design, and new forms of organising.
Before joining the faculty, Professor Bernstein spent a half-decade at The Boston Consulting Group in Toronto and Tokyo. Tapped by Elizabeth Warren to join the implementation team at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, he spent nearly two years in executive positions, including Chief Strategy Officer and Deputy Assistant Director of Mortgage Markets, at the newest United States federal agency.
Professor Bernstein earned his doctorate in management at Harvard, where he also received a JD/MBA degree. He holds an AB in Economics from Amherst College, which included study at Doshisha University in Kyoto.
Tiona Zuzul is an Assistant Professor in the Strategy Unit at Harvard Business School.
Professor Zuzul teaches Strategy in the MBA required curriculum. She studies how leaders and organisations learn and adapt in response to environmental shifts and periods of discontinuous change. Her in-depth, longitudinal field research shows that leaders’ identity and framing – how they see, interpret and convey firm strategy – shape strategic renewal in settings from high-tech start-ups to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Professor Zuzul was awarded the Strategic Management Society's inaugural Research Methods Prize. Her dissertation was a finalist for best dissertation awards by the Entrepreneurship and the Strategy divisions at the Academy of Management, and by the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (EGOS).
Before joining Harvard Business School, Professor Zuzul was an Assistant Professor at the London Business School, and at the University of Washington, where she received the MBA Professor of the Quarter and PhD Faculty Mentor awards.
She received her doctorate in Strategy from Harvard Business School, MSc with Distinction from the London School of Economics and AB with Honours from Harvard College.
Leadership, Strategy & Collaboration for Change
We invite you to join us at the Senior Executive Forum, where distinguished Harvard faculty members Professor Ethan Bernstein and Professor Tiona Zuzul will lead this year's program. These esteemed professors will challenge and expand your thinking, guiding you to unpack the complexities of the issues interrogated through Harvard Business School case studies.
We are thrilled to announce that Professor Ethan Bernstein will be making a return to the Forum. Known for his passionate and engaging teaching style, participants have praised his compelling teaching on how the best organisations develop their talent pool and leadership mindsets to lead transformational change.
This year Professor Bernstein is joined by Professor Tiona Zuzul who will challenge us to explore how leaders and organisations learn and adapt in response to environmental shifts and periods of discontinuous change.
Using the famous Harvard teaching style, you will analyse, dissect and interpret a series of case studies before applying the learnings to your own organisations. This approach leads to a deeper understanding of the issues and an ability to transfer that learning into your role and your leadership team.
Through interactive sessions and lectures, you will learn how to identify and capitalise on the collaborative opportunities presented by environmental shifts and a changing work landscape. You will explore collaboration and teamwork by interacting with your peers in a group challenge and learn by working through a previously unexamined Harvard case study.
