We invite you and your colleagues to join in a landmark forum October 19-28, 2021 hosted by Berrett-Koehler Publishers
Hosted by the Fowler Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit at the Weatherhead School of Management and Berrett-Koehler Publishers.
This earth friendly and digital format will allow you to connect Fortune 500 CEOs, world leaders, entrepreneurs, academic thought-leaders, young leaders, their networks, and engaging educators. When CK Prahalad spoke at our very first summit, he talked about the Global Forum as “an institute for tomorrow”—a forward-facing venue for companies wishing to be future—to prosper, model 21st century advantage, and be a transformational force for world benefit. Learn more at Berrett-Koehler Publishers.
Magnify and help the world to mobilize and realize its 17 Global Goals while aiming-higher with our historic “once-in-a civilization” type transformation opportunities. To be sure, it is a privileged time. And it is not at all irresponsible or utopian to say it: we possess all the resources we need to end extreme poverty within our lifetimes; we hold in our collective hands the capacity to set in motion an unstoppable trajectory for transitioning to a nearly zero-emissions economic system powered by 100% renewable energy; we have the capacity to bring forth a near future where every child has access to school; and, perhaps most important, we have the opportunity to reclaim our world-wide belief in the “human project” through the discovery and design of positive institutions—just when we need it most.
Interact, network, and become part of a growing community-of-purpose with business leaders and the pioneering thought-leaders who are propelling the solution-revolution through breakthrough innovation and generative economy thinking;
Understand the economic trends, trajectories and macro-shifts of our era with a special focus the greatest “better business/better world” multi-trillion-dollar economic possibilities of our time;
Strengthen your own leadership and build upon your team’s strengths. When you attend together something special can happen. We know that teams become what they study—together. The flourishing enterprise is something every industry leader wants. Flourishing enterprise is about people inspired every day and bringing their whole selves into the enterprise; it’s about innovation arising from everywhere; and it’s about realizing regenerative relationship value with stakeholders, including customers, communities and societies, and ultimately, with a thriving biosphere.
Enhance collaboration across functions, and stakeholder communities and supply circles. This may be the most important conversation your company can have in today’s world of opportunity to lead the solution revolution. And by helping “out there”—helping the world to flourish—guess what almost always happens to the “in here” of your organization? It’s a dynamic we call mirror flourishing, and it’s a game changing resource.
Learn how to craft your own future-forming “theory of the business”—the kind of deeper enterprise logic that can rebuild, regenerate, renew, and propel your enterprise capacity to win the hearts and minds of your customers and people, leverage new sources of 21st century advantage, and draw the admiration of everyone who cares about the future of our planet.
Whatever your interests, we have you covered.
This track is designed to facilitate, across national boundaries and management disciplines, the emergent new theory of business dialogue within the management sciences and the interdisciplinary domains of constructive human science and organization theory. Including among its participants—each with a powerful contribution to the emerging theory of business--are thought leaders and vanguard models and a myriad of forms that are proliferating.
The Global Goals mobilization stands as the largest macro-project in history, dwarfing the collaborations to heal the ozone layer; dwarfing the global eradication of smallpox; dwarfing humankind’s leap to the moon; and dwarfing the re-building of the world economy through the Marshall Plan. Moreover, the Global Goals, as the most epic earthshot macro-project ever, is not so much about solution capacity or scarcity of resources as it is about unlocking heretofore hidden powers of unprecedented collaboration.
Consciousness research is no longer a futuristic mission as it has rapidly and truly entered the fields of leadership development, neuroscience, the study of emotional intelligence, mindfulness in management, as well as “leadership and the new science” with its worldview of fundamental interconnectedness.
Each Global Forum session is hosted by one of our three presenters.
The 5th Global Forum is being elevated, enriched, and advanced by a rapidly growing set of “collaborating partners” and global associations.
The 2021 Global Forum is made possible primarily through donations and support from our sponsors.
