“The best way to predi
ct the future is to create it.” Peter Drucker
Context
The w
orld is changing fast and we can all be active in re-shaping our organisati
ons to ensure they are fit for purpose and fit for the humans who work in t
hem. Many organisations are doing just that, adopting new, more human appro
aches to organising, including agile, responsive and teal, to name just a f
ew. Most are small to medium sized businesses (the bigger ones incude Zappo
s, Morning Star, Favi, etc.) who are nimble enough to be able to change and
experiment. Meanwhile larger corporations are much slower to react. Perhap
s they are too large to feel the ripples. Yet even large corporations, even
tually, will have to adapt to the changing demands of the world or face ext
inction like the dinosaurs.
It is likely that humanity in the future
will still need large scale organisation in some form. So
- what w
ill future corporations look like?
- what role will they play in soci
ety?
- what roles will “employees” have within them?
- will the
y be structured to maximise profit, or something else?
- Who will own
them? Will they be “owned” at all?
The event
In this inte
ractive and participatory event, through stories, imaginative enactment and
discussion, we will look at the present and start creating the future.
The evening will include stories from the front-line. These first-hand a
ccounts from people who have worked for large corporations including BP and
Kingfisher. The rest of the evening will be highly interactive, include so
me role-play, small group sessions and facilitated discussions. Drawing on
what we have heard and what we bring, our facilitators will aim to access t
he collective wisdom of the room for the benefit of all.
Who is it for? This event is
designed for:
- people working in or with corporations who don’t
often have the opportunity to explore this topic openly and honestly;
<
li>anyone thoughtful about the future of our world, and the role of corpora
tions in it
