Creating unprecendented, enduring ... advantage requires
“people being inspired every day and bringing their whole selves to work ... innovation arising from everywhere; and it’s about realizing remarkable relationship value with stakeholders - customers, employees, communities, and the biosphere”.
- David Cooperrider
“We long for our institutions, not just in government, but in education, healthcare, and the corporate sector to embrace their essential role in creating a world that works for all. However, despite dramatic innovations in technology and the world of physical objects, our results in designing healthy, effective, and flourishing human systems, -- work teams, community and government agencies, corporations, networks, and nations -- have been highly inconsistent. But imagine for a moment that we succeed in elevating the capacity of all organizations to apply their resources and abilities in creating a world with new systems of prosperity, justice, equality, opportunity, participation, environmental health, and human experience. This is the challenge that the People Powered Innovation Collaborative has set for itself – to make such reinvention easier, faster and less risky”.
-- Bernard Mohr
If this proposition intrigues or excites you, then please join us for a 90 minute interactive webinar on questions such as:
- When should organizations reinvent themselves and why?
- How can innovation in the purpose, business and operating models of organizations (and ecosystems) make a difference in creating a world that works for all - a world where economies, businesses and all people thrive, and nature flourishes, now and across the generations.
- Can business success and positive social impact exist?
- What other challenges exist in Reinventing Organizations to become not only the Best in the world but the Best for the world?
- How does the practice of Co-Creating Mutual Value support successful reinvention?
Speakers for this webinar will be drawn from Toni Benner, Susan Donnan, Bernard Mohr and Neil Samuels.

After a 45-year consulting career spanning multiple continents, publishing seven books, and pioneering the practice of Appreciative Inquiry in the corporate sector, Bernard co-founded (with Neil Samuels) a not-for-profit research organization called the People Powered Innovation Collaborative.
The work of the PPI Collaborative is to continuously develop, test, share and evolve evidence-based theory and practice enabling businesses of all kinds to create mutual value, with courage, conviction and capability.
Bernard brings to this challenge his passion for creating flourishing workplaces, where people, customers, shareholders, the environment AND ecosystem partners all thrive – through innovation in Corporate Purpose, Business Model and Operating Model. He applies his expertise in strength based Whole System Design, Radical Participation and Design Thinking to answering the questions of:
- What Mindsets. Skill Sets and Tool Sets work best when it comes to reinventing a business?
- What does business reinvention require and what benefits accrue to its stakeholders?
