Lecture “The Secret Gardens of Old Oliwa”

On Tuesday, November 8 at 5:00 p.m., in Olivia Sky Club (12th floor of Olivia Tower), there will be a unique lecture by Dr. hab. Eng. Arch. Katarzyna Rozmarynowska “The Secret Gardens of Old Oliwa”.

The Abbey Park, the most valuable green monument in Gdansk, does not need advertising. Everyone knows him. It is different with the other historic parks in Oliwa, full of mysteries – underestimated due to the lack of awareness of their existence. Katarzyna Rozmarynowska’s lecture will try to bring them closer.

Ph.D. Eng. Arch. Katarzyna Rozmarynowska is a long-time lecturer at the Gdańsk University of Technology and the Sopot University of Applied Sciences. He specializes in the field of landscape architecture and the history of garden art. She is the author of numerous scientific publications, including the book entitled “Gardens departing. From the history of Gdańsk’s public greenery 1708-1945”.

Good dialogue generates good business

The global labour market on which Tri-City firms operate: corporations, start-ups and the entire SME sector (small and medium enterprises), is subject to continuous development. This fact contributes to various changes of organization in the firms and also causes changes in the management style and creates new needs for changes in the communication among people in international and virtual teams.

Two main challenges for individuals responsible for the execution of processes in companies are: cultural differences and the quality of language skills of employees and the managerial staff. This situation becomes an impulse for the making of new decisions to improve the quality and effectiveness in main management areas.

An inaugural meeting in the “Let’s talk Business” cycle aimed at an initiation of a dialogue about the role and importance of an effective communication for business development was held in the Olivia Sky Club on September 21. We are talking to the initiator of the series of meetings under the same title: Paweł Banaszak , the Communication Manager in “LEC Centre Spółka z o.o.” and Mike Hogan, the York Associates Director.

Monika Bogdanowicz (Olivia Business Centre): How was the idea of a series of events related to effective communication in a dynamically changing work and business environment born and what are the goals you set as a part of that project?

Paweł Banaszak, Communication Manager, LEC Centre Spółka z o.o., the initiator of “Let’s talk business” meetings taking place in the Olivia Sky Club.

“We have been supporting our customers learning foreign languages for 20 years. We mainly do that by sending them to language courses abroad. Many of our customers want to speak a foreign language fluently at work. And they are getting better in it. However, fluent daily language skills are not sufficient to effectively communicate in the world of international business. The ability to combine the language with typical business skills: making presentations, negotiating or hosting teleconferences are getting important. The awareness of cultural differences and their influence on the executed project, teamwork or the business as a whole is equally important.

We have good relations with educational institutions worldwide. Thanks to them, we can not only send customers to courses abroad but also invite experienced experts to share their knowledge in Gdańsk. We want to give knowledge to people who use languages in business; this is why we called the series “Let’s Talk Business”. We will invite foreign experts who will provide practical knowledge. Everyone with international business relations will be able to apply such knowledge at once.

MB: What is your opinion about challenges in the relationship building area that managers responsible for the realization of global business processes are facing? What is the greatest barrier/issue for the managers?

One of the challenges that managers face worldwide, not only in Poland, is being aware that success in international relations does not result from language skills and managerial skills only; it also requires the awareness of cultural differences. And I am not only talking about “trivia”: how you offer your visiting card in Asia or that the Americans are very direct when providing feedback. It is about the importance of what cultural baggage of team members influences the team’s dynamics and effectiveness. The more intercultural interactions take place in a team or firm, the more significant the role of that component becomes. Not only people working for large corporations need that awareness and related knowledge. For example, start-up founders who talk to investors should also know the difference between the building of relations with Asians and the cooperation with Europeans. It is easier to establish trust on the basis of such knowledge.

MB: How can we help ourselves understand one another better in spite of cultural differences that frequently determine whether a team or a firm can be successful or is doomed to fail?

I think that there are two pillars of success in this area. The first, basic one is the awareness of cultural differences and their influence on the business. It makes the operation in the world of business easier. The basics of that awareness are gained throughout the business practice. Training courses executed by experienced trainers are an effective way to make full use of the potential offered by the conscious management of an international team. Opportunities offered by the cooperation with foreign schools are worth taking advantage of because there is still too little of such knowledge in Poland. Trust is the second pillar. A manager aware of cultural differences, with related competences and able to listen to people he works with will be able to use these differences effectively to build trust within the team. And, according to managers who took part in our panel during the “Let’s Talk Business”, it is the basis of an effective communication and growth.

 

Monika Bogdanowicz (Olivia Business Centre): Communication and cooperation in international teams face many obstacles and pressures every day when we interact with people we don’t know, don’t meet face to face and often don’t understand the way they act. How do you help managers and their team members to carry out their work well and to grow their businesses?

Mike Hogan, Director, York Associates: Our mission is to support professionals working internationally to collaborate more effectively to deliver better results. It relies on the philosophy of the learning cycle that consists of reflection, action and feedback to help managers and team members drive high performance through continuous learning.

York Associates’ international leadership and teambuilding training is based on two approaches:

  1. The understanding of the 4 core challenges related to the internationalization of teams: uncertainty, complexity, paradox and diversity

2. The building of a strategy to manage 9 critical success factors for international leaders and teams:

 

Chart1

MB: The complexity of processes that take place in international companies requires the development of relationships and trust that you refer to as pillars of professionalism in action. What do you consider the best ways to develop these competencies in individuals and teams?

If you ask business people about that essential component that enables international teams and organisations to perform excellently, you will often get a one-word answer: ‘trust’. Building trust takes time and, to build it, leaders have to be seen as competent, reliable, involved and empathetic, having integrity and demonstrating mutual trust. My colleague
Bob Dignen
described these points well in his book, Effective International Business Communication (Collins)

MB: You manage York Associates that developed the unique formula of 4 pillars of language and communication skill training. Please highlight the main concepts of this method.

We believe that the objective of our language training is to help clients communicate effectively in English. However, in order to be truly effective, we need to go beyond learning vocabulary, grammar and professional skills such as English for meetings, presentations and so on. In addition to these skills, we look at the international context in which our clients communicate and help them develop the cultural sensitivity and international collaboration skills necessary in the international business. To help us visualize what we mean, we developed our unique 4-dimensional approach as can be seen below:

pyramid

MB: During your presentation at the meeting with managers of the Olivia Business Centre, you presented a very interesting description of the “push” and “pull” strategies and styles of communication used to attain business goals. Which of these two strategies is preferred in international teams and what makes it more efficient?

It is impossible to say which of these two styles is best in international contexts. However, we need to be aware of our natural style and reflect continuously on whether that style can bring us success and help us achieve desired results or hinder us. So, rather than using a specific style, we should be sensitive to the needs and styles of others, be flexible and adaptable so we can choose a style that fits the situation best.

BPO Education Center and Gdansk Labour Office jointly train accountants for Bayer and thyssenkrupp

On Friday, September 30, 2016, the BPO Education Center and Job Office training ended at the Talent Development Center. Thanks to the cooperation of these two institutions, which have their headquarters in Olivia Business Centre, 14 people have found employment in the positions of junior accountant. All of them have completely changed their professions so far. The next edition of the training will start at the beginning of November 2016.

The free training in Corporate Accounting, financed by the Gdańsk Labour Office, started in mid-June 2016. The course conducted by the BPO Education Center at the Sopot University of Applied Sciences was divided into a didactic and practical part – in the form of internships in the shared services centers of Bayer Service Center Gdańsk and thyssenkrupp Group Services Gdańsk, located in Olivia Business Centre.

During 240 hours of theoretical classes, 15 people selected during the recruitment process at the Gdańsk Labour Office gained knowledge in the field of accounting, but also in the structure and procedures of companies in the BPO/SSC (shared services), financial and accounting systems (SAP ERP) and advanced use of spreadsheets. In addition, the participants of the training took part in as many as 60 hours of German language classes. A good knowledge of the language, especially vocabulary related to accounting, was a prerequisite for successful completion of the course. Each of the subjects conducted during the training ended with an exam.

After two months of study, the course participants started 320-hour internships at Olivia Business Centre Residents: Bayer SCG and thyssenkrupp GSG. On 30 September, all participants received certificates of completion of the course and from 3 October they started working in the above-mentioned companies that were involved in the training process from the very beginning.

BPO Education Center is a unit of the Sopot University of Applied Sciences, which for over 3 years has been helping the inhabitants of the region to acquire competences and skills necessary in financial services centers. With measurable results, because so far, 90 per cent of students have found a job immediately after completing the “Corporate Accounting” course. its alumni – said Sylwia Broda from the Sopot University of Applied Sciences. – The next, ninth edition of this project differs from the others in that it is the first time that several entities residing in Olivia Business Centre have undertaken such fruitful cooperation, thus showing a new face of “good neighbourly practices”. This training will also be a starting point for career development for the most ambitious participants. We are already receiving signals from some graduates that they would like to continue their education at our university as part of the prestigious postgraduate studies in Finance and Accounting ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).

Any employer with a registered office in Gdańsk and the Gdańsk district can report to the Gdańsk Labour Office with a demand for employees for specific positions. If the search for people with a given professional profile does not bring any results, the Labour Office can organise training courses for a guarantee of employment under tripartite agreements. These projects are aimed at changing the profession learned by jobseekers – said Anna Hryniewicz from the Job Office. – The training that has just been completed was prepared for the needs of Bayer and thyssenkrupp, which were looking for employees for the position of junior accountant. Thanks to the branch of the Gdańsk Labour Office in Olivia Business Centre, i.e. Job Office, companies can easily submit their needs.

We are very glad that thanks to the decisions made a few years ago, we are able to create better and better conditions for our Residents in recruitment,” said Agnieszka Zglinicka, Project Director at Olivia Business Centre. – The presence of large, international enterprises, HR companies, Job Office and Talent Development Centre – i.e. branches of the Gdańsk Labour Office opened this year – in one place brings the desired effect. We believe that the activity for the enlargement of the so-called talent pool and job creation will be appreciated not only by global companies, but also by businesses and residents of the region.

The next edition of the training will start at the beginning of November 2016. More information about the training can be found m.in. on the website of the Sopot University of Applied Sciences: http://www.ssw-sopot.pl/bpo/

From the very beginning, one of the main assumptions of Olivia Business Centre in Gdańsk Oliwa was multifunctionality, including support for Residents in the field of recruitment. Currently, there are a total of 10 entities operating in the centre (commercial and local government), whose main area of activity is Human Resources.

The Olivia Business Centre team also takes care of the work-life balance of all people working in the centre: business, educational, cultural and sports events are regularly held here. In April 2016, a modern, two-storey, round-the-clock fitness club CityFit was opened. All visitors to the centre are already m.in at their disposal. 3 conference centres, a medical centre with a pharmacy, 3 restaurants, 2 cafés, a kindergarten and a nursery, 4 banks, a modern gymnasium, a beauty salon, a notary public and an electric car charging point. There are almost 2000 parking spaces, over 200 bicycle racks and 5 changing rooms with showers at Olivia Business Centre.

There are over 100 entities operating in Olivia Business Centre. These include global corporations, companies from the SME sector, startups, as well as local government and non-governmental organizations.

Alicja Sawicka, Head of the Recruitment and HR Department at Sii, adds: “ During Dessert with HR, we care about the quality of the program. Each time, the participants of the meeting take part in speeches by charismatic and outstanding speakers.

How to turn your passion into success on many levels. We also hosted an outstanding HR expert – Zdzisław Nieckarz, PhD, HR expert, coach, trainer and publicist.
