Konu

KONU is an international boutique consultancy for leadership development and change management.

KONU works with government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, non-profits and international organizations to create and implement customized leadership development opportunities. KONU’s clients include the World Bank, the Kellogg Foundation, the Robert Bosch Foundation, Abbot / St Jude Medical, Volkswagen and the California Public Utilities Commission. KONU has worked with several high-ranking government representatives – among them elected officials and cabinet members.

KONU’s methodology values participants’ lived experiences over prepared case materials and examples. Structured exercises are built around participant cases and stories. These real and relevant dynamics illuminate the complexity of real challenges and the politics of change.

As a result, the subsequent learning and action plans are directed at what matters most to our participants. In detail, a mixture of experiential and instructional methods will be used such as small group case work, large group exercises, presentations, 1:1 and Peer-coaching as well as individual reflections.

Symi Symposium Contributors

Symi Symposium participants who excel in their respective fields, provide Young Leaders with the opportunity to learn first-hand about the challenges they face, as well as how these influence their lives.

Cases of success, failure or a mixture of both, in which the pressures for quick fixes and solutions were high – and when leadership across different factional divides, narratives and values was needed, are analysed.

Young Leaders are able to apply the concepts they learn to their real-life leadership cases.

10-14 July 2022 Lagonissi, Greece

With the hope that this will be the last online Young Leaders Project edition, our upcoming program will run as usual in synergy with the annual Symi Symposium, taking place in Lagonissi, Attica. In our deliberations this year around the theme “ΚΡΙΣΗ/CRISIS, Peace and Democracy at Stake, Our Common Challenge to Design Effective Responses”, we will cover a wide spectrum of topics and engage a diverse group of speakers and participants from across sectors and continents.

Exclusive, interactive sessions for our Young Leaders cohort will also be featured on a daily basis in the form of ‘’Ideas lab’’, so that we can dive deeper into the issues at stake and bring our own experience, ideas and solutions to the challenges we all face in our personal, social and professional lives. Last but not least, our leadership development workshop with our associates ‘’KONU’’, will build on our mental stimulus and learnings gained throughout the program and help us grow our leadership potential towards bringing about positive change in our communities and beyond.
