While in the last decades, the world, and consequently the work we do has changed tremendously, the main standards of how we work have been mostly untouched. The last two years, especially COVID-19 shook up our private and professional lives, and we realize more and more that the outdated ways of working, moreover, the way we lead our people have become unsustainable under the new circumstances.

To have a good understanding of the situation, especially in the Central European context, we conducted a comprehensive SEED Executive Insights research about the observable effects, the challenges that Central European companies face and potential ways to address them. We surveyed and talked to 80 + executives, collected the experience of our faculty and alumni and reviewed the latest international studies about the subject.
