Diplomlederuddannelse i gang

September 3, 2007By Mike Hohnen

[lang_da]Hvad gør man for at videreuddanne sig, hvis man stoppede tidligt i skolen og gik i gang med en karriere inden for hotel- og restaurationsbranchen? Hvordan kan man få en akademisk anerkendt uddannelse, når man ikke har mulighed for at gå på universitet fuld tid? Og hvordan får man kædet de mange spredte kursustilbud sammen til at blive en kompetencegivende uddannelse?

Problemløsning
Det er typisk de spørgsmål, som mange dygtige ledere i hotel- og restaurationsbranchen stiller sig, og indtil nu har der ikke været ret mange positive svar.

Derfor har Danske Konferencecentre indgået et samarbejde med konsulentfirmaet GROW Aps om at udvikle en treårig diplomlederuddannelse, der kan tages i moduler. Uddannelsen er udviklet i samarbejde med Value Projects og akkrediteret af University of Chester.

Initiativet reflekterer det stigende behov for kompetencegivende efteruddannelse især inden for servicefagene. Unikt ved forløbet er, at der tages udgangspunkt i den enkeltes jobsituation – en model som netop University of Chester har gjort til et speciale gennem deres afdeling for
’workbased learning’. De studerende arbejder ikke med cases, men tager udgangspunkt i deres egne konkrete arbejdssituationer gennem hele forløbet med det mål løse reelle problemer på arbejdspladsen fra dag ét.

Første workshop blev afholdt i Odense d. 22-24 august med bragene succes og høje forventninger til det resterende forløb.

Leif Christiansen, direktør for Danske Konferencecentre, udtaler:

”Jeg glæder mig meget over, at vi med dette initiativ for alvor kan sætte strategisk lederudvikling på dagsordnen. Med klart lederfokus og en rød tråd gennem hele forløbet er uddannelsen kompetencegivende på et højere niveau end traditionelle efteruddannelseskurser. Ved at iværksætte en anerkendt uddannelse på bachelorniveau, bliver der langt større muligheder for en langsigtet, gennemtænkt og målrettet indsats, når vi taler om nytænkning og kompetent ledelse inden for hotel- og restaurationsbranchen.”

Deltagerne kan efter tre års deltidsstudier kalde sig diplomledere i Service Management
– akkrediteret af Chester University, UK. [/lang_da]

Hamburg

July 28, 2017By Mike Hohnen

We had 2 interesting days in Hamburg. The idea was to check out a few innovative ideas and have a general chat about how to cope with the ever increasing problem of scarcity of trained chefs and spiralling labour cost.

We started out with lunch at Va Piano In my opinion one of the most innovative food concept we have seen in a long time.

Va Piano Chefs

Followed by tour of the East hotel

DKBS  Hamburg Aug 08 - 2

And dinner at Elysee

DKBS  Hamburg Aug 08 - 3

The reason we had dinner the Elysee was that we wanted to test the Block Menu concept live – and that was a real eye opener for all. A 160 seat restaurant handled by 2 chefs in a space no larger than 14 sqm. In the banqueting department 2 chefs handle up to 1000 covers in a night with ease.

So the next day we went to Zarentin outside Hamburg to find out what the sceret begind the low labour cost was: Block Menu

Export manager Rüdiger Brümmer took us through the menus and demonstrated how far sous-vide cooking has come – and we may all have different opinions on taste but we could not fault the quality of the products.

DKBS  Hamburg Aug 08 - 7

The experience was intense – every one fully concentrated

DKBS  Hamburg Aug 08 - 8

On the way back to Copenhagen in the bus we had a god chat and reflection on the merits of the various cusines we visited and our hig profile chefs of course stuck to their principles and gave conveniens food a good bashing – but then they got hungry…

DKBS  Hamburg Aug 08 - 10

Need I say more…

It was good fun and an eye-opener for us all – and like it or not, what IKEA has done to furniture production, Block Menu is determined to do to food production.

April 14, 2022By Mike Hohnen

[lang_en]We are back from a wonderful vacation – full of new ideas and by the looks of the ‘ in-tray’ lots of exciting projects to get our teeth into.

On August 10th we launch our most ambitious and exciting project yet. The DKBS Service Academy – 21 managers from almost as many hotels will start on a 3 year learning journey with the goal to obtain a Diploma in Service Management.

This initiative has come about in collaboration with Value Projects UK and the University of Chester U.K. and is sponsored by Danish Conference Centres.DKBS [/lang_en]

[lang_da]Vi er alle tilbage fra en dejlig ferie – fulde af nye ideer – og ved at kaste et hurtigt blik på inboxen, kan vi også få øje på masser af spændende projekter at give os i kast med. 10. August lancerer vi vores hidtil mest ambitiøse projekt: DKBS Service Academy.
21 ledere fra næsten ligeså mange hoteller begynder en 3-årig rejse med det mål at opnå en diplomlederuddannelse i Service Management.

Dette initiativ er sat i værk i samarbejde med Value Projects UK and University of Chester U.K. Og det er sponsoreret af Danske Konference Centre . DKBS [/lang_da]

Afslutning på DKBS: GROW Leadership

July 9, 2007By Mike Hohnen

[lang_en]011.jpg
Not only did the participants listen intensively on the final workshop when coach Lotte Pedersen talked about the significance of our emotions in our daily actions and the way it influences the way we lead ourselves and others. Our thoughts, emotions body and behaviour are inextriably linked, and the body was also used in a concrete exercise to illustrate that it shouldn’t be ignored in the development of personal managemment skills. The complex interaction between thoughts, emotions, body and behaviour require the will to look inwards and get to know oneself. The participants are now ready to meet their daily challenges with more power and the courage to turn their goals into reality.[/lang_en]

[lang_da]09.jpg
Der blev ikke kun lyttet intenst på den afsluttende workshop, da coach Lotte Pedersen fortalte om følelsernes betydning for vores daglige handlinger og dermed for, hvordan vi leder os selv og andre. Følelser, tanker, krop og adfærd hænger uløseligt sammen, og netop kroppen blev da også brugt for at illustrere, at den ikke bør ignoreres i udviklingen af personlige lederegenskaber. Det komplekse samspil af tanker, følelser og adfærd kræver vilje til at se indad og blive klogere på sig selv. Kursisterne er nu flyvefærdige og klar til at angribe deres daglige udfordringer med fornyet styrke og mod til at bruge sig selv konstruktivt, når de skal føre visionerne ud i livet.[/lang_da]

Discovering Leadership In Groups

April 21, 2016By Mike Hohnen

I found this neat quote on the Integral Leadership Review web site

Greatness in leadership, that is, human authenticity, is not only a matter for individuals. Quite to the contrary, it is best accomplished in groups and leads therefore to in-depth group growth and to team development. Group and individual growth are systemically interrelated.

People must share with each other their experiences of authentic behavior, their inner struggles, their successes, what makes them proud, their tough decisions, and then support one another in this process of growing as a person and growing as a team.
—Peter Kostenbaum

It pretty much sums up what we do during our 12 week GROW:leadership pgms

Are your new recruits coachable…

June 13, 2007By Mike Hohnen

Seth Godin writes:

…at the great Bolshoi Ballet, auditions for the troupe were conducted among 8 year old girls. That’s because it took ten years to become great. How did the auditions work? The teachers weren’t looking for the best dancers. They were looking for the dancers who took coaching the best. The rest would come with time.

How coachable are your new recruits
