''The FAST, program is part of the Airbus Group University talent development portfolio, and is designed as a practical foundation for experienced Talented managers who are responsible for a business unit or profit centre. The FAST program gives participants the opportunity to focus on the development of business, management and business competences in line with the Airbus Group leadership model. This program is made up of 3 'one week' modules challenging the participants on their leadership skills and competences, as well as strengthening key business management skills coupled with exposure to external trends.
Module 2 focuses more particularly on business agility and is done in smaller groups to allow peer to peer feedback and networking. In the frame of this module 2, we have had the pleasure to welcome Gijs van Wulfen for a one day workshop, on april 20th, may 6th and may 18th in our executive education center near Bordeaux in France.
During these workshops (approximately 33 paricipants), Gijs has explained his view on innovation an how it can be used in the business environment. He has inspired the participants on what it is - offering them an innovative mindset and giving them tips and tricks to apply what they learnt and help to spark innovation in their day to day business.
We have received very positive feedback after this workshop and we would like to thank him for his insightful messasges, active listening and advice to the participants, as well as for the practical tips and trick he shared with our managers with a view to them being able to translate their learning back into the business.
We would be delighted to welcome Gijs again as a keynote speaker in this program and we have already reached out to him for other needs we have on this subject.''
Inspiring. Energizing. Professional. Have you ever felt so energized after a presentation that you want to start brainstorming and working immediately after? That is the feeling after seeing Mark Raben on stage. I have had the pleasure of working directly with Mark and listen to him on different occasions; delivering presentations on all sorts of topics and what struck me the most was how through storytelling Mark was able to keep the audience 100% engaged and awake during the entire presentation, but above all the fact that we only retain 5% of information becomes a myth. Looking forward to collaborating more in the future.
Amazing storytelling skills combined with true creativity and the ability to bring strategies to life is how I would describe Mark Raben. I have worked with Mark in several projects over the last couple of years in which he revolutionised customer experiences and created storytelling concepts which truly changed his audience perspective.
I’ve had the privilege to work with Mark on several projects. Mark is very creative, open-minded and a great communicator. He has a wide range of interests and a lot of knowledge about many subjects, like technology, neuroscience and philosophy. He is a great innovator and a great speaker!
