Share knowledge in a new format!


The online venue of the third this year Leadership Week* allowed the company managers and strategic management reservists (SMR) from the company offices across the world to share their knowledge and experience.

The participants saw themselves “through the eyes of the customer”, and together with the experts looked in the company “economic mirror”. They did several mainstream case studies on procurement and worked out specific proposals to help deal with service providers. They also shared secrets of how, despite high workload, to keep up with everything and even more!

The participants share their impressions:

Ekaterina F.:
“Thanks to the Corporate University and all the presenters. At Leadership Week, we considered financial and procurement issues which are very important now. There is a clear understanding of the current situation in the company. I would also like to thank senior vice-president for the Leadership workshop where he sincerely shared his managerial and personal experience. The main conclusion after this 4 day-training is that the only way to overcome any difficulties is to consolidate our efforts”.

Vasiliy Z.:
“The whole Leadership Week in a new format was exciting! The most memorable two days were Wednesday and Friday. On Wednesday, a procurement educational program took place. We – the “future leaders” – were divided into groups. Together with the procurement experts we reviewed several relevant cases and developed proposals to protect the interests of the company. Our team analyzed the case with a major service provider, which has a strong negotiating position and uses it to agree on the most attractive payment terms (100% prepayment). As a result of fruitful work, amendments to the text of the agreement were formulated.
Friday began with the Leader workshop. Live examples from one of the most experienced managers in our company made me reflect on the role of the manager (and leader), the price of his decisions, competition in business and vital leadership qualities.
Leadership Week ended with a conversation with Boxberry CEO, one of the representatives of the logistics community, developing solutions for the growing E-commerce market. The result of the meeting for me was the conclusion that one of the key knowledge is knowledge about customers, about changes in their preferences, criteria for choosing Volga-Dnepr services or competitors. The air transportation market is changing under the influence of our decisions and decisions of competitors and customers, ultimate beneficiaries of services. In this regard, it is important to follow the criteria for the selection of Customers (Price vs Quality), analyze both successes and failures, and look for solutions (and niches) that will allow us to take these changes into account and increase the usefulness of our services”.


Leaders workshop

Anton F.:
“The most memorable for me was the Leaders workshop. In simple terms and with examples from his life he told who the Leader as he sees it is and what qualities the Leader possesses”.

George S.:
“I liked the new online format – it allowed us not to break away from the production process for the whole week. In addition, there was more group work – this gave the feeling that the company really needed the knowledge of the SMR participants. Direct interaction with top management of the company is also important in terms of a deeper understanding of the challenges facing the company”.

Rasim S.:
“This was the first and immediately positive experience of an online event. The colleagues fully participated in the discussion of issues important to the company”.

Кristina W.:
“As part of the “educational program” on managing the economy, finances and accounting, we were impressed by living examples, the opinion of colleagues on a problem, and the relevance of solutions. In general, I liked the interest of all colleagues to find optimal solutions, as well as possible options for their implementation.
It was very useful to see the general picture of procurement management in the company, to get acquainted with the main positions in each business area. We were impressed again by living examples and solutions aimed at improving.
In general, it was the optimal format of the event, excellent sound quality and the ability to communicate. In addition, this online format saves time on travel and other costs”.
