The professional team of the Belgrade Open School has been strengthened by new colleagues, experts from the IBM: Barbara Hampson, IBM FirstMobile Platform Manager (IBM USA), Caroline Do Prado, PR and Marketing Specialist (IBM Brasil) and Saumya Purkayastha, Digital Marketing and Analytics Specialist (IBM India). IBM expert team is helping us in developing new business models defined by BOS Strategic Plan 2015-2017.
Three experts will work for the Belgrade Open School for one month, in our premises in Belgrade. This kind of support is a part of CSC's program of IBM, which aims to support civil society organizations around the world in one hand, and in the other one, to develop creative thinking of IBM top management by practicing famous technique of relocation of everyday business environment and solving and understanding problems they previously knew nothing about. In a recent IBM survey of its 1700 CEO's, over 1500 of them emphasized creativity as the most important leadership skill in the time when the entire world economy faced a huge change and complexity like never before. Top management of Procter&Gamble and Google in the US replaced their workplaces for a week a few months ago. P&G worked in Google and vice versa. Guided by this experience, BOS has also recognized such need in the local market and developed a program "Creative Thinking for Innovation and Sustainable Development", as a part of our Advanced Management Program.
