Successful Open Seminars in Skopje by Mr. Liassides and Dr. Chatzimpyros
The Open Seminar in Skopje featured two interesting presentations successfully delivered by Mr. Chris Liassides from our Business Administration and Economics Department and Dr. Vasileios Chatzimpyros from our Psychology Department who chose to present contemporary topics of their discipline. Mr. Liassides, Senior Lecturer in Marketing Management and Operations Management opened the event with his presentation on ‘Gamification - The contemporary way to engage employees and customers’. Mr Liassides discussed the the technique and the principles of gamification as a modern tool in engaging employees and customers. He explained how excitement can develop through the use of the 10 game mechanics, the six-step method that can be employed, and the psychology behind such an effort. Success stories involving gamification in a number of industries, ranging from the hotel and hospitality industry to retailing were also presented in the seminar. Participants were exposed to the principles behind gamification, the step-by-step method that could be followed, and a number of recent cases that have boosted the performance and revenue of organisations. Dr. Vasileios Chatzimpyros, Lecturer and Research Director at CITY College’s Psychology Department presented the second seminar entitled ‘Sense of belonging and intimate relationships: How they influence our mental and physical health’. Dr Chatzimpyros explained that belonging refers to the emotional need people have to feel accepted by others and the society around us. During his presentation he commented: “Nowadays social media offer the opportunity to stay constantly connected to many people and groups; however, ironically more and more people feel a lack in their sense of belonging and a growing distance between people with who they have interpersonal relationships.” Dr Chatzimpyros focused his presentation on the reasons why people feel that loss of connection and how important interpersonal relationships are regarding our physical and mental health. Both seminars were very well-received by participants who gave positive feedback.

Open MBA Seminar on Holacracy in Bucharest by Mr. Kehaghias
Mr. Stelios Kehaghias successfully delivered an Open MBA Seminar on Holacracy in Bucharest. The event took place 30 May 2019 at the Hilton Hotel. "Holacracy - Reinventing the way we manage" was the title of the seminar led by Mr. Kehaghias, Director of Training & Development / Industrial Liaison of Executive Development Institute (EDI) at CITY College International Faculty. The speaker argued that at times when changes are manifesting at exponential rates it is a paradox that management has not significantly changed in the past decades. “Companies are positioned very often in hypercompetitive markets that resemble red oceans and strive to develop competitive advantage through marketing and operational innovation. This competitive advantage is often short-lived and not sustainable. Management innovation introduces a new approach to managing that is very divergent from our existing management approaches,” said Mr Kehaghias. Mr. Kehaghias underpinned the importance of employee empowerment to a level that is unprecedented and involves radical decentralisation. This approach to management innovation results to lower costs, greater initiative, and higher employee loyalty. When compared to other types of innovation it contributes significantly to the development of sustainable competitive advantage. Managers and business professionals who participated in the seminar had the opportunity to develop an understanding of what management innovation is, how it works and what are the issues faced by companies that are implementing it. The seminar took place in the context of the Executive MBA programme successfully delivered in Bucharest by CITY College, International Faculty of the University of Sheffield for 13 years now.
