Single session event

With special guest Ralph “Bud” Sorenson, member of the Board of Directors of Whole Foods Markets, moderated by Ken Zolot.

Today, the laissez faire concept of capitalism espoused by Milton Friedman is under siege. This workshop will focus on whether there is a way to retain capitalism as a powerful positive force for creating jobs, wealth, and innovation, while at the same time making it more responsive to the interests of all stakeholders, not just shareholders.

It will explore the concept of “Conscious Capitalism” that is based on the proposition that the primary goal of corporate leaders and entrepreneurs should be to optimize the returns to all stakeholders: customers, employees, supply chain partners, communities, the environment and, of course, shareholders.

A unique, two-day experiential seminar that enables you to think, act, and be entrepreneurial. This is not a course about business plans or the operational details of startups, rather it is about tapping into ways that empower you to flourish in an entrepreneurial setting. This course is unusual and innovative, drawing on the latest research and proven contemporary learning methods. There is a rich mix of lectures, case discussions, small group activities and simulations, individual coaching and reflection, and participant discussion. You'll gain a basic, practical understanding of an enormously powerful yet simple logic and a set of methods and tools that are applicable to entrepreneurial activities, more broadly in business, and potentially all aspects of life.
