St. Petersburg: Seminar "ART & FINANCE, Part V", at St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical Unversity, "LETI"

The fifth interdisciplinary seminar at LETI university focused on strategic planning in economically demanding times. The students were introduced to the Swiss project Solar Impulse and to the entrepreneurial strategy of world famous knive producer VICTROINOX. Both projects involved building up a stable loyality within the Swiss and international society with projects which were hardly predictable and did not lend themselves to short term planning. It was demonstrated that the open and honest communication including strong emotional bonds built over generations with family enterprises such as Victorinox were key to finally implement projects such as Solar Impulse and to help diversify the product lines of Victorinox. A third topic was an insight into Swiss business etiquette as part of international business etiquette.
Dr. Sergey Shaposhnikov and Dr. Larisa Sharakhina were brilliant hosts providing the venue and inspiring their students to participate actively in the lecture.

Concert review published by «DIE BOTSCHAFT», a regional cantonal Aargau newspaper with a 150+ years history. Tatjana Schmied-Woerle talks about the last concert of renowned oboe player Kurt Meier in his role as solo oboist of the Zurich Chamber Orchestra under Sir Roger Norrington in June at the Tonhalle Zurich. The innovative concert format is mirrored for the readers of «DIE BOTSCHAFT» involving tales from the side of the conductor Sir Roger Norrington for the audience at Tonhalle and tales told by a beautifully dressed actor personality representing the French rococo and taking the audience back 3 centuries into the times of composer Wolfgang Amadé Mozart. The concert was completely sold out and may open a view on future concert formats inviting also the young generation to traditional concert halls such as Tonhalle Zurich.

St. Petersburg: Seminar "ART & FINANCE, Part IV", at St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical Unversity, "LETI"
The fourth interdisciplinary seminar at LETI university focused on the difference, or even "clash" between our perception and reality. Communication can be considered a miracle,  when we start to take into account the enormous variety of perceptions of one and the same issue. Students were exposed to Igor Stravinsky's autobiographical messages concerning auditive perception and listened to "Tango" by Igor Stravinsky for piano. The development of listening skills in general and active listening capacity in particular will help the students in the future to save precious time. They will be able to memorize conversations by active listening, while others take notes. Other topics were the role of Switzerland as skilled negotiator and communicator in the very heart of Europe. Switzerlands long tradition of negotiating controversal Pan - European issues was discussed. 30 students contributed with their spontaneous impressions, opinions and personal statements to a lively seminar. Dr. Sergey Shaposhnikov and his colleagues from "LETI" university were cordial hosts, provided a professional venue and were key for the internal Public Relations of the seminar at the university.  VETRO enjoyed the brilliant organisational qualilty and advice on the structure of the lecture, as always.

St. Petersburg: Seminar “ART & FINANCE, Part III”, at St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical Unversity, "LETI"
The third interdisciplinary seminar at LETI university focused on the pursuit of personality development rather than the pursuit of «career goals». Music from Iannis Xenakis illustrated fractal structures, as a metaphor for new organizational forms, to be found in Swiss global MicroFirms. Participants were exposed to the well researched truth, that professional musicians quasi « fight» to do their jobs, even when ill while travelling. Is this the dream of the «modern employee», demonstration of professional passion or self – destructive?
Plenty of material for a lively dialogue.
