Murat
Özbilen

Management Consultant, Chairman of the Board, Güvercin Communication Services

Biography

“The key to management is the identification of the skills and competencies required to manage the business as it is and to create corporate mechanisms that will guarantee adequate representation of interests in the management structure.” 

Managing family businesses

Murat Özbilen has extensive experience in project management, spanning a career of more than 20 years. He holds the Institute of Industrial Engineer’s Mitchell Fein-Outstanding Leadership and Profession Award, and Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Honour Society’s Junior Researcher Award. He is currently a faculty member at Rotterdam University in the Netherlands and SRBII in Belgium. Özbilen possesses extensive experience particularly in operational improvement, auditing, the development and integration of organisational and technological systems, hand-over planning in family businesses, and strategic management projects. Özbilen has in-depth experience of the management of family businesses. According to him, unless entrepreneurs are able to convert their entrepreneurial spirit into management skills once companies are set up and a place in the market is established, their presence starts to hurt the management, which to begin with would have been a major contributor to the business. Then arises the question of whether to hand over the job to professionals. However, this does not mean a complete withdrawal on the part of the family from the management. “Family businesses are very dynamic when they are set up. The boss is, at the same time, also the manager. They fully communicate all their value judgments and opinions about the business. Once a company like this becomes established in the market, it must transform the impact of its entrepreneurial spirit into the ability to manage.”

Who is Murat Özbilen?

Murat Özbilen graduated from the Polytechnic University, New York with a BS in industrial engineering and an MS in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering. He continued his graduate studies in the US, the Netherlands and the UK in the fields of operational auditing, IT/IS and logistic strategy.

Speech Topics

SOFT POWER


Soft Power is actually a term of politics. Strong states, despite the fact that they are capable of pursuing their interests by force, may choose to avoid war – because the game’s not worth the candle – and choose to ‘’show their teeth but not bite’’, use ‘’Soft Power’’; and they achieve their goals…

Why should not this concept of politics be applicable to business live, personal life or social relations, used to make them stronger and better? Çağlar Çabuk, the author of the book Soft Power, deals with this concept with practical examples from daily life.

LEADERSHIP & SOFT POWER


One of the most important functions of a leader is the management of relations and balancing the expectations of stakeholders. Soft Power, which is also a term of politics, is an approach frequently used by leaders in politics, public diplomacy and international relations.

Çağlar Çabuk, the author of the book Soft Power, deals with how to use soft power in leadership processes. She helps leaders become even stronger with the approach of soft power.

MOBBING (PSYCHOLOGICAL HARRASSMENT AT THE WORKPLACE)


Mobbing refers to any incident of maltreatment, threat, violence or contempt implied on employees “intentionally, constantly and systematically” by their superiors, colleagues or lower level staff. Despite many lawsuits in favor of victims, mobbing is still a big threat for potential victims and employers.

Çağlar Çabuk, the author of the book All We Have Is Mobbing, handles the issues of detecting mobbing, taking measures and coming up with solutions as well as its psychological effects and legal consequences.

COACHING AND MENTORSHIP


In contemporary business life; improving, sharing and maintaining knowledge is as important as technology, expertise, infrastructure or competition. Coaching and mentorship are among the best ways to ensure this and they help the employees, managers and the business in many ways including motivation, efficiency and performance.

Çağlar Çabuk, the author of the book Coaching and 4th Dimension, has been a leader in definition and official acceptance of coaching standards and competence frame in Turkey trough Professional Competence Institution (MYK) and the official gazette.

Ferda
Ünsal

Feng Shui Expert

Biography

“Feng Shui teaches us the methods and the power to control certain forces inherent in the universe and nature.” 

“The key to shaping your life as you want is within your power.”

Ferda Ünsal is an important practitioner of Feng Shui in Turkey, which is a well-known Far Eastern philosophy. Ünsal has proven that Feng Shui can be applied to many different areas of life. According to her, with Feng Shui we can achieve our dreams of building happy relations, reaching our expectations, living in opulence, being healthy and peaceful, and seeing our children be cheerful and successful.

“Feng Shui is an ancient Far Eastern discipline, which helps us to return to our true nature, to discover our inherent features and to prepare a suitable venue for us to improve these, so we can reap the maximum benefit from all the blessings life offers us. It presents us with methods for stimulating the cosmic energy of life that naturally exists all around us.

“Life is a road and Feng Shui is one of decisions that we will take on this road.”

Human beings are a part of nature and so seek a balance and harmony with nature in their environment. The lack of harmony between humans and the environment adversely affects our life. The discipline of Feng Shui has a five thousand year old history. It is a method of arranging life spaces that create harmony for human beings’ existential features. In this way, we can live more healthily, build happier relations, improve ourselves, achieve our career expectations and increase our revenue.

“2008 will be a bad year” she said, and bad it was!

According to Feng Shui philosophy, 2008 was “the year of the rat”, which proved to be a tough year. Ünsal said 2008 would be characterized by challenges much before finance professionals did. Noting that, according to the teachings of Feng Shui, life repeats itself at certain intervals, Ünsal’s predictions for 2008 were as follows: “it will be a year of plenty for the stock exchange, entertainment, mining and real estate sectors. But it will be a tough year for the marine, banking, transportation and construction industries. It will bring international and political turmoil to the world.”

After graduating from Bosphorus University she began her professional career as a textile agent in Canada. Her husband’s occupation mean they had to relocate and Ünsal set sail for the Far East in 1987. She lived in Malaysia for 11 years where she was introduced to the teachings of Feng Shui and realized their positive implications in her life, after which she began espousing Feng Shui as a lifestyle. She attended the Feng Shui Centre of Excellence in 1992 and complemented her studies with training programs at the Master Academy of Chinese Metaphysics. She established Feng Shui Dünyası (Feng Shui World) in 2000, through which she has provided consultancy services in countless homes, offices, hotels and shopping centres.
