Välkommen på IMA West medlemsmöte med besök hos Uni3!
Välkommen till en fortsättning på workshopen ”Framtidsäkra din roll”, som vi hade hösten 2023 tillsammans med Ulrika Tuneld (AB Volvo) och Marika Svensson (Volvo Cars).
Denna kvällen fortsätter Marika Svensson med temat Från idé till handling – våga ta din plats och leda!
Syftet med denna workshop är att gå från de strategier och idéer vi diskuterade sist till konkreta, modiga handlingar. Vi fokuserar på hur du aktivt kan ta din plats och praktisera ditt personliga ledarskap för att inte bara framtidssäkra din roll, utan också aktivt forma den. Målet är att du lämnar sessionen med verktyg och modet att omedelbart börja göra och leda, både dig själv och i din organisation.

17:30-21:00 hrs.
Samen het jaar openen, samen vooruitkijken
We trappen 2026 af met een frisse, energieke Kick-off. Een moment om te proosten op het nieuwe jaar, elkaar te ontmoeten en te horen waar we als community naartoe bewegen. Geen lange presentaties, wel inspiratie, verbinding en ruimte om jouw stem te laten horen.
Tijdens deze bijeenkomst delen we alvast de eerste highlights van onze eventlijn voor 2026 en krijg je een kijkje achter de schermen bij waar het IMA NL team aan werkt. Maar minstens zo belangrijk: we zetten jou centraal.
We zorgen voor een setting waarin je nieuwe peers leert kennen, echte gesprekken voert en ontdekt wat jij het liefst uit IMA wilt halen. Verwacht een luchtige, interactieve opdracht die je aan het denken zet en ons tegelijk waardevolle inzichten geeft. Een kleine teaser: je gaat kiezen welke ‘hoek’ het beste bij jouw verwachtingen past. Leren en ontwikkelen, verbinding, invloed of teruggeven? Wat drijft jou als in dit nieuwe jaar? Geen goede of foute antwoorden, geen formulieren. Wel herkenning, nieuwe ideeën en het gevoel dat je er niet alleen voor staat.
