“Business schools offer a range of educational services to military people, volunteers, etc. For many veterans, business schools are providers of choice for after-war adaptation. Adjusting to the new organizational culture is one of the challenges. We use our knowledge of high-performing organizations and their leaders to help our veterans accommodate to the new conditions. When helping the veterans we learn their best experiences and integrate them into our courses and activities. Some business schools study military leadership and teach that to civilians. MIM-Kyiv’s experience is in teaching military people,” said Oleksandr Sudarkin.
Understanding military organizational culture and its transformation is the focus of the MODUS Initiative conference. The fruit of the transformation is obvious for outside partners. Mike Repass, CEO for Able Global Solutions LLC and major general (retired) underlined that the changes are there. In his opinion, Eastern European military people behaviors are similar to the behaviors of their American peers.
The conference was organized by the “Come Back Alive” Foundation, Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, and NATO representative office in Ukraine.
