The business landscape has been changed in part by positive things like revolutionary technical innovations, powerful new ways to reach consumers and customers, an explosion of collaborative tools, and many other positive trends that together are rewriting the fundamentals of business.
Change is also caused by the disruption and uncertainty all around us. We are living through very uncertain times, and many factors impacting our business operations. Change and uncertainty can cause us to shrink and become more conservative in our business approaches, or we can see them as opportunities.
In order to successfully capitalize on the opportunities that are all around us, we need to take a holistic approach and strive to see how everything fits together.
In today’s climate, the riskiest course of action is to simply continue to do what worked yesterday.
Key Takeaways:
Turn problems and challenges into opportunities.
Take advantage of revolutionary new ways to reach customers and consumers.
Zooming out allows us to see who has the pieces of the puzzle and what picture they form.
Business enterprise has the incredible power either to destroy our world by clinging to a two-dimensional, us-versus-them, winner-take-all mindset at all costs, or to save our world by embracing the reality of the interdependent nature of all things and incorporating a new paradigm of long-term thinking and profound collaboration.
Companies that cling to the old models will begin to see themselves being left behind and will have to adapt, evolve, and take on a much more cooperative approach to keep up with the economic growth that true collaboration will spark.
Key Takeaways:
Learn how to write corporate social responsibility into the DNA of your organization.
Open and transparent collaboration will fuel tremendous economic growth.
The three-key pillars are: interdependence, profound collaboration, long-term thinking.
We can take an environmentally sustainable business approach while developing new and exciting products and services, creating more jobs, and increasing profitability.
Issues such as global warming, deforestation, ocean acidification, and biodiversity loss can’t be addressed as stand-alone issues when in reality, they are symptoms of an underlying root problem, which is that we do not see ourselves as planetary.
Key Takeaways:
We don’t live on a globe.
Go after the root cause rather than the symptom.
Work with our biosphere, not against it.
Financially sustainable efforts are able to incorporate long-term planning and play the “infinite game” for the benefit of all.
Key Takeaways:
People are not one-dimensional; they are motivated by many diverse factors.
We can do well by doing good.
Give your contributions multiple lives: invest and reinvest in self-sufficient efforts.
