January 17, 12.30-14.00
We invite you to the first leaders’ meeting of the “Strategy at the Crossroads” series in the New Year. This time in Gdansk, at the Business Zone business center.
Among leaders, managers, and those responsible for organizational transformation, we want to talk about strategy in changing, unpredictable times.
“We need more strategic thinking and less planning,” says Henry Mintzberg, professor of management at INSEAD.
We are seeing how the old thinking about strategic planning no longer fits the dynamic reality. Vision and strategic direction, combined with a readiness to change and adapt quickly, have become far more important than rigid plans. But are we ready for it?
Meeting topics:
– In the fast-paced world of BANI, VUCA – does strategic planning still make sense?
– Is cascading changes and decisions feasible at this rate?
– How do you turn a vision into an action plan?
– If not 20th century strategic planning, then what’s next?
Who is this meeting for?
- You are a leader and are looking for inspiration in the area of strategy definition and implementation.
- You appreciate the exchange of ideas, discussions in an interdisciplinary group of managers and leaders from different organizations.
- You are looking for inspiration, interesting corporate and organizational experiences of implementing challenging projects and engaging people for change.
- Are you looking for an opportunity for personal and professional development in the area of modern leadership.
The leaders’ meeting will be led by:

Karina Boszko – Head of Registration Services and Technical Customer Support.
Trained as a chemist, I have been involved in the pharmaceutical industry and in particular in the registration of active substances for more than 20 years. I have also represented Poland for 16 years as an expert cooperating with the European institution EDQM in the area of creating monographs of pharmaceutical substances.
I have been managing teams for over 17 years, initially one team now three with different responsibilities. I always put it down to being a Leader first and foremost, not a manager. In any organization people are the most important, without them there is no organization, no team and nothing will be achieved. Privately, I try to find a moment of relaxation most often in the garden.

We are a team that supports leaders in their development, giving them innovative tools for both strengthening their competence and self-development. Around GCA we have gathered people who are innovators in their fields, engaged in projects, both inside and outside their organizations, sharing their experience externally.
In the words of the creators of Game Changers Academy, “We created Game Changers Academy to inspire and support those on whom the success of the transformation depends. Those who are the carriers of change in the company and who are not only open to inspiration from outside their company, but who are also motivated to make sure that their projects are among those that will be successfully carried out, who want to acquire new tools to help carry out changes and know themselves better. So as to maximize the chance of success.”
