Evolving Business: Time to Reboot?

by nancy on June 6, 2011

“We must now move faster with the implementation of today’s organisational change agenda and, at the same time, work out how to disrupt our economic and business models to reboot capitalism for the 21st century.” John Elkington, founder & executive chairman, Volans; co-founder, SustainAbility

Time to reboot?

In the good/bad old days, when your computer froze, you hit the famous Control-Alt-Delete keys to reboot the machine. Yes, you probably lost some data, but you were able to return to work. And maybe in the interim you realized that some of that lost data wasn’t that important, anyway.

Is there a Control-Alt-Delete for capitalism? Can we preserve the best of business while truly evolving to deal with the complex challenges that can no longer be ignored? Can the concepts of sustainability and capitalism cooperate?

On June 15, The Idea Hive and the California College for the Arts present a distinguished panel to talk about reinventing business in the 21st century.

Please join us on the evening of Wednesday, June 15th, 6.30pm, at California College of the Arts, for a conversation among Rory Bakke, John Elkington, Gil Friend, and Kirsten Ritchie, to hear their thoughts on what comes next and how we can get there. Dr Stuart Candy will be our moderator for the evening.

Go here for speaker bios and more details. We look forward to seeing you!
