CONTENTS

Our goal as “ Foundation For National Innovation” (Pro Inovashon Nashonal “PIN”) is to transform innovation into a lifestyle on all levels, both general as well as globally. We try to accomplish this goal by promoting innovation within the community of Curaçao and by developing personal leadership.

Curaçao is a small development island in the Caribbean. Almost 3 years ago, in October 2010, the island obtained an autonomous status within the Dutch Kingdom, based on some conditions. Since then our island has been trying to adapt to the new status. Our financial situation is still quite delicate and under constant pressure, and as a small market it is imperative to target the right economic pillars for the advancement of our economy, taking into ac-count near threats. Naturally, the need for more information regarding the economy of our country is ever more present. We would like to give those in the field of economics, finance, commerce, research, consultancy and policy more in-depth information they can use to ascribe and introduce the right interventions for more innovative approach and positive results.

THE FOUR PILLARS

DAY 1Module 1 - Challenges, opportunities and threats for a small-scale economy such as Curaçao and Aruba“Identifying ways we can win”

Harnessing the talent and innovation of our people is key, both with people who live ‘on island’ and our Curacao and Aruba diaspora around the world.

We will focus on what other small economies around the world have done to succeed, taking inspiration from islands like Jersey (80,000 people) who are in the process of transforming their economy (for example the state owned telecommunications company has embarked on a five year strat-egy to connect the entire island by fibre optic cable, making it the only island in the world to be fully gigabit connected).

This investment will produce a globally valuable telecoms company and they have already invested in businesses in USA and Australia, which brings many potential investment opportunities to the island; it’s a great example of the Government working with the private sector to build a sus-tainable growth focussed economy.

ABOUT THE TRAININGS


Module 2 – The macro and micro economic effect of a clear vision“Creating a shared vision of success and its impact on growth”

Successful businesses have shown us, decade after decade, of the posi-tive effects of having a clearly defined purpose. We will look at some of the worlds most admired organisations and look at how they translated a vision into action.

We will champion the notion that the economy as a whole should have a clearly defined vision that means something for every key industry on the island. We will also look at how departments within organisations trans-late this into something practical that fuels performance, day to day.

The Emirates have shown us the power of realising a vision, as have many other economies around the world. What world do we want to leave for our children and their children? How will Curaco and Aruba look in 2050? What will be the legacy of us?

DAY 2Module 1 - The influence of politics on the economy, and the relation between them “The power of ‘listening’ organisations and the effect on output and performance”

As with any organisation, agility and speed is key. There are countless ex-amples of where the public and private sector are aligned in their actions with positive results, and many examples where greater co-operation would have yielded better results for everyone.

The Government needs to be responsive to a rapidly changing world and environment, and the best organisations evolve quickly and adapt to their changing world. The key for Government is to harness the innovation of people with great ideas and support them. In the UK for example, the Gov-ernment has recognised the importance of Human Capital and has sup-ported a taskforce that has involved thousands of CEO’s and business leaders to share best practices on how best to get the best from most organisations most expensive asset, it’s people.


BUT the challenge in smaller economies is often around the balancing act between personal relationships and ambitions and the good of the public. Transparency is key as is the willingness and ability to ‘listen’ to what the public know is necessary.

Again, high performing companies will have more employees who say ‘my leader listens’, we can predict the share price movement over 5 years based on our understanding of the degree to which leaders listen to their people.

Module 2 - Economic performance and social progress“Empowering the small to medium sized organisations for economic growth”

The distribution of wealth is the challenge for all economies around the world. And we are moving to a world where more people than ever want to be, and indeed are, self-employed. It’s a changing model.

Empowerment of entrepreneurs is key and in a resource constrained world, sharing knowledge and know-how becomes very important. The re-investment into the right growth industries are also key for the com-petitiveness of the islands on a world stage. Again, knowledge becomes the most valueable asset in determining which strategy will yield the big-gest gain for the islands.

We will also look at this the other way around; economic performance is just the product of ‘individual performance’ as an aggregated number. The cause of economic performance is through the performance of our busi-nesses, and that is powered by the performance of their people.

We know that if we can get people working more strategically and pro-ductively then businesses grow and the economy grows (if managed well), microeconomics shows us there are some fundamental laws at work here. And we now have detailed data that demonstrates the link between per-sonal, organisational and national economic performance.

The cause of the performance is about having the right ‘environment’, the ‘environment to win’ is essential, it’s key ‘input’ is great management and leadership.

The Global Growth Institute (GGI) was founded in 2012 with a clear man-date to develop World Class People. Our mission is to leverage our collec-tive wisdom in helping to build truly World Class People and World Class Organisations. Our founding partners, and global advisory group, have been advising and enhancing the abilities of managers, leaders, teams, organisations, NGOs and Governments for over 20 years. Our collective experiences across hundreds of different organisations, industries, sectors and countries highlighted the commonalities that exist in truly World Class People and Organisations.

It’s widely accepted that effective management and leadership are key de-terminers of success, however our practical experiences have given us deeper insights into ‘what’ these great managers, teams, organisations and Governments actually ‘do’. By leveraging our collective experiences we have created a unique approach to building exceptional management and leadership at the personal and organisational level. Our method is a partnership led approach to le-verage both yours and our collective insights, in the pursuit of your journey to being World Class.
