Entrepreneurship and Covid-19

The Covid crisis has hit the culture sector very hard. Concert halls, venues, festivals were the first to close and the last to reopen, with a part still not operating at all. Whether we were in strict confinement to temper the pandemic, until now, music didn’t stop. Even not live music! At this workshop we will listen to people who used their creativity, imagination…and entrepreneurial mindset to explore new business models, to build new communities, to take their social responsibility, to create new artistic work, and so much more. They needed to adapt to the changed situation and find their way to make their ideas become concrete. This workshop will let them speak of those past months and how they found solutions in very difficult circumstances still existing today.

This session is held by the working group on Entrepreneurship of the Creative Europe project AEC – Strengthen Music in Society: Renée Jonker (Royal Conservatoire The Hague), Payam Gul Susanni (Yasar University, Izmir), Vourneen Ryan (Royal Academy of Music in Dublin), Anna Maria Ranczakowska (Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in Tallinn), Paulina Gut (AEC).

Typology of Innovation: Innovation Strategy and Innovation Performance

Innovation is one of the most popular concepts for the last decade that is in use by researchers, managers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers. The literature presents many definitions and conceptualizations on the types of innovation. This seminar simplifies the types of innovation by categorizing the forms of innovations that occur by the innovators and their impact-degrees on markets. The seminar will raise awareness of participants regarding how entrepreneurs create and seize the new market and where they implement their ideas in order to gain a competitive advantage with their innovative ideas.

Cooperative Learning and Technology

The presentation is the result of a feasibility study commissioned by the NewsinMap Project, to see whether it was possible to institute a cooperative learning environment to equip music students with the skills and knowhow to allow them to create a music start-up company of their own. The study examines both how a cooperative learning model and relevant technological resources are used to create a music start-up based solely on student abilities and aptitudes without them possessing expert knowledge of non-musical subjects required by such a venture, the latter concept also applying to non-specialist educators.

15:00 Classical music in the digital age and career development during lockdown

The part of musicians’ DNA is the search for auditorium, which has been dramatically changed during the last decades due to the development of digital technologies and various unpredictable events, such as the COVID-19 crisis. In his presentation, Till Janczukowich poses the questions on the role of technologies for boosting classical music in the modern world and the changing image of the audio streaming market which is supposed to reach more than 1 milliard of subscribers by 2030.
Creation of music platforms and streaming services, such as IDAGIO, might lead to the rise of new auditorium eager to discover the world of classical music. Various obstacles for the development of music industry, including the most unpredictable and the most global one – COVID-19 crisis, are underlined in the presentation. The pandemic has given us a new understanding of the world of music where business models relying on box office revenues have become obsolete and the rise of the “online” universe is the main core of the development tendencies. New revenue streams are rising with the desire of the audience to enjoy live performances whilst being home and feeling not only comfortable and safe but also not removed from the cultural life with concerts and performances. IDAGIO Global Concert Hall is given as an example of a new innovative tool for artists to engage with audience online.

This session is held by Till Janczukowicz, founder and CEO of Idagio

Evolutionary Leadership: how to unlock your full potential at work

Self-Leadership and the ability to tap into an internal source of creative resources is a distinctive sign of success.

All professional, artistic and organizational achievement are related to one single main element: the Level of Energy and Awareness that we are able to channel to continuously promote personal and professional development. The key elements of a powerful Self-Leadership are:
– the identification of a Purpose that provides meaning and commitment
– building a winning Strategy
– the creation of an emotional state of Engagement and Enthusiasm
– the constant pursuit of excellence in Execution

Each of these elements is connected to specific type of intelligence that the Leader must develop and nurture:
Intuitive Intelligence > Purpose and Vision
Mental Intelligence > Strategy and Problem Solving
Emotional Intelligence > Engagement and Trust
Bioenergetic Intelligence > Action and Physicality.

The Power of Storytelling: how archetypes can improve our leadership

According to Carl Gustav Jung, archetypes are defined as universal, primordial symbols that derive from the collective unconscious.
Each one of them is related to a behavioral pattern and to a different style of leadership. Each of these styles has value, if applied in the right situation.
The success of a company depends as much on business model design as it does on the creation of a team that may possess complementary skills.
Therefore,our contribution attempts to develop a deeper awareness of the role of archetypes in the context of business organizations, based on a philosophical approach in the perception of leadership

Sessions organized by the Royal Academy of Music in Dublin

11:00 – 12:00 CET

How can we promote a growth mindset within higher music institutions so that we can develop entrepreneurial and innovative thinking among students and staff?

The consideration of growth/fixed mindset in entrepreneurship education has potential implications for both teaching and research. While growth mindset and entrepreneurial mindset are distinct concepts, some interesting pathways could be explored to discover connections between the two. This could further help students develop as creative entrepreneurs.
This workshop will explore the impact of instruction on students’ growth versus fixed mindset. The focus of the training will be on messages of inclusion and diversity, and how to reflect on the language you use in your teaching and course materials. There will be an open discussion as part of this training.

Leadership and Listening

Listen more carefully to what is around you
Right now…
There is an astonishing vastness
Of movement and life…
O listen-
Listen more carefully
To What is inside of you now.
Hafiz (1320-1389)

We are living through a global crisis where the noise of daily pronouncements on the pandemic are dulling our ability to listen openly. It can seem pragmatic to become inured to our own emotions and sensory information. However we need to do the opposite, we need to open ourselves up to awareness, vulnerability, empathy and compassion, especially in leadership roles. Cultivating compassionate leadership is the way forward out of this challenge. As musicians we have a great capacity to listen, to discern nuance. We can use this skill more effectively if we open our senses to multifaceted listening; noticing words, images, body-language, feelings and energy by drawing on information in the body and through intuition. This experiential workshop seeks to reconnect us to one of our greatest capacities to listen and not simply to hear.
