Inspired Profit
Oxymoron or 21st Century Advantage?Inspired Profit
It costs a lot to be uninspired today. Employees, customers, regulators, civil society, media and investors are very real and expensive threats when they are not onside and especially when they become a crowd. Inspired Companies have a decidedly different profit-making experience than uninspired ones. With the crowd onside fueling their success, they make very, very good� money. This session covers what it takes to get them onside, how it translates into three big competitive advantages and what that tangibly means for your bottom line.
Business with the world onside
How about that for a change? Business with the world onside
The corporate sector has been defined by the worst of business for a very long time. As a new generation of leaders emerges that is pre-wired for a more connected, more collaborative and inspired approach to business, we remain infinitely optimistic that a new legacy for the corporate sector is in sight. This session explores what has changed that makes it the most lucrative time in history for the best of business to emerge.
The Future of Business (that's already here)
To compete today, companies must stand for ideas bigger than profit. A society wide trust crisis has collided with a social media revolution and flung us into a turbulent, chaotic and confusing moment in corporate history. Many of the ways we succeeded in the past don't work anymore and we need answers. Fast. In this session Lisa lays out what's changed and what companies need to do to compete and succeed today.
The Future of Business (that's already here)
Inspired Company Advantage
Your business has a mission with many winners. You lead and execute it with passion. You are unapologetic in your refusal to be railroaded by existing systems or corporate norms. You are committed to doing the right thing. All of your profits are derived from your Inspired Mission, not from penalizing customers or other stakeholders. Traditional company outsiders and broader society become as invested in your success as you are. Financial markets react to you - not the other way around. That's a company the world can get behind. A company the world wants to see win.Inspired Company Advantage
