Boma France & Partners
The health crisis that we have just faced has taught us how preparing for break-up scenarios and learning to manage uncertainty are key skills. Developing crisis management methods, training in the principles of cognitive psychology, as well as strategic foresight and scenario planning, making trend analyzes are necessities for a leader today.
Boma and its community of experts bring together the best skills, tools and methods to help you prepare for the disruptive scenarios that await you. What are they, how do we anticipate them, how do we learn to make the right diagnosis, and how do we act in times of crisis?
Global Partners
The COVID-19 pandemic and global economic downturn have demonstrated that we are not equipped to navigate the profound uncertainties and speed of change we face. Although it is difficult to predict what the new normal will look like, it is clear that our old, command & control leadership model is insufficient to deal with the complexity of our global challenges. During these unprecedented times, we need compassionate, courageous leaders; people who can keep themselves motivated, and inspire and support their teams and communities.
At #BomaLeadershipWeek, you will hear from international and local leaders in science, technology, healthcare, business, government and grassroots organizations. You will discover what governance models are needed to navigate our current crisis, and how leaders can best adapt and persevere to new challenges ahead - caused by digital disruption, climate change and economic instability.
Find sessions in India, Poland, Germany and Brazil.

We all know the saying: Knowledge is Power! This is more true than ever when it comes to data. But collecting data and understanding or assessing them correctly are two pairs of shoes.
Tech start-up founder Ghazaleh Koohestanian will talk us through the potentials and risks of big data. What can you do to secure your digital sovereignty? Why should companies use data in a way that is conscious but smart and also ethical? And how will this lead to progress and innovation?
Boma Germany
Zweimal im Monat diskutiert Stephan Balzer gemeinsam mit einem Experten aus unserem globalen Brain Trust die aktuellsten Themen und Herausforderungen unserer Zeit.
Heutzutage gibt es eine ganze Reihe neuer Organisationsmodelle, wie Agiles oder Lean Management, Holokratie uvm., die versprechen, die Bedürfnisse der Mitarbeiter auf die Komplexität unserer Welt anzupassen. Doch allein umgesetzt, ohne die Entwicklung neuer Kompetenzen durch die Teammitglieder, scheitern diese Modelle. Der Output verbessert sich nicht, die Teammitglieder sind nicht glücklicher, und gewohnte Frustrationen kehren zurück. Bleibt "New York" also doch nur ein Buzzword?
Bitte beachten Sie, dass das Interview auf Deutsch stattfinden wird.

Russian rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky said: “The Earth is the cradle of humanity, but mankind cannot stay in the cradle forever.” Space Tech is often linked to Space Travel and Space Exploration, even nowadays with many wealthy entrepreneurs venturing in the ecosystem, and with some of them promising settlements in other planets of our solar system.
But can SpaceTech make our life on planet Earth more sustainable? More livable?
We discuss with Elia Montanari from the European Space Agency how the space ecosystem can drive SDGs by making our economies, travels, industries, and lives more compatible with our planet's survival. We will look at real-life examples, as well as what the European Space Agency is planning to drive the Sustainable Development Agenda.
