Miklós Vargyas
Senior agile coach at edUcate Business
I believe in the humanism: we are all equal and we do not have and should not have power over each other. I have a firm belief that leaders (unlike bossed) do not lead by power. Power is the tool of an old, decadent world. A modern and successful company cannot perform (or even survive) if that medieval tool is practised.
A new humanism is being born that reshapes the corporate world along with its practices, its norms, its culture. Not simply better (more creative, higher quality) products are conceived and delivered in the humanist (ie. empowering and supportive) environment of these companies but it also feels so much better to work in them (and for them) at higher level of motivation and with more joy and fun. Those are the servant leaders who create and maintain the environment in which people do not survive but strive.
In my work, for over a decade, I train, coach and mentor agile practitioners, agile leaders, leaders in transition and in growth to awake their sleeping beauties of leadership and use them for the benefit of individuals, of corporations as well as of their own selves.

About module 2
Did you know, the extremely efficient wind turbine blades mimic the edge of the flippers of the seawhales? Have you ever thought that you could also find the solution of one of your biggest work challenges from nature?
Biomimicry means technology or business solution inspired by forms, processes and systems that exist in our environment. It transforms the way we think and gives a powerful force for sustainable innovation. It is a new way to experiment with possible product and service development avenues.
See your organization in a system and be connected to your ecosystem to reach your business highest performance.
Iteration, resilience, self-organization and feedback mechanisms are fundamental principles of any biological and non biological systems. The goal of these systems is to bring individuals together in order to strengthen their performances and knowledge, to prevent the formation of functional silos.

About module 3
To seamlessly complete a digital transformation process we have to have a digital mindset and a corresponding business strategy. The first part of this module shares the theory and practice of building disruptive digital strategies and how large organizations can co-op with it. As part of the workshop participants will engage in the process of strategy creation and also learn best practices from different industries.
During the module’s first day we unfold two main topics:
1. How can we build a strategy that allows rapid growth for the company, whilst the implementation is resource efficient thanks to game changing technologies?
2. How can we make sure we took the right strategic direction in a fast and cost-effective way?
After we had a closer look how to plan digital strategy, Ferenc Szalai AI expert will guide us into the exciting are of AI and corporate automation tools. Not every company needs artificial intelligence immediately, but every company has to examine the potentials in using algorithms. Every company needs to gain necessary skills to apply AI solutions, and currently only a few percentage of the companies use AI solutions to automate their processes. Why? The most common reason is that employees do not have the necessary knowledge and skills yet to evolve and implement the AI tools within their organization.
We will also examine where are future technologies today in their development curve, and how these may evolve in the next 5-10 years. We do all this to create a common ground about the potential effects these technologies will have on the participants’ business’ future.
Spark’s experts aim with this module is to help participants to get started on this road with giving insights and inspiration about AI automation. We will present the areas where automized AI and machine learning technologies are already well-developed and work well, also dispel some misconceptions about what tasks can be or cannot be solved with these technologies.
