IMI Advant-edge: Why Fostering a Growth Mindset in Organisations Matters
Details of the Society’s partnership with the Irish Management Institute (IMI) are available here.
There are 10 complimentary places at IMI CPD workshops and a discount of 50% for additional attendees.
These CPD workshops are aimed at mid to senior level managers, and are designed to ensure managers are constantly refreshing and enhancing their management and leadership know how.
In the first IMI Advant-edge series in Cork, IMI faculty member Philip Matthews will explore the growth mindset with specific research from Stanford Psychologist, Carol Dweck, and will identify two distinct mindsets in people called Fixed and Growth. Whilst no individual is entirely one or the other, this has profound consequences for people and organisations. During this session they will ask the question, does your organisation have a growth mindset culture of development or a fixed mindset culture of genius?
If you wish to attend this event, please email the Society at info@actuaries.ie by Tuesday, 31st October 2017.
The Society will then draw lots for the 10 complimentary places. The Society will contact you on the 1st November to advise you of the next steps in booking directly with the IMI.
