Tonya Surman Speaking Topics

The Enlightened Corporation: Why Doing Good is Good for Business

Many leading companies are asking: what does a growth strategy look like in an age where corporate social responsibility is no longer an advantage, but the default? In this forward-thinking talk, Tonya Surman outlines how corporations can use their infrastructure, their resources, and their capital to build a new economy, inspire vibrant employees, and fortify a stable consumer base that is in alignment with their values. Touching on branding, employee fulfillment, and other concepts in social innovation, Surman's keynote offers persuasive proof that, more than ever, it is in the corporate best interest to make the world a better place.
The Collaborative Economy: Turning Capitalism on Its Head

Bigger is better' thinking is falling away and the fundamentals of capitalism are being shaken. What kind of economy is going to replace capitalism as we currently know it? Having worked with hundreds of social start-ups, Tonya Surman shares an insider's view on the emerging collaborative economy, where it is going, and how your organization can participate and benefit. Surman shares concrete insights into collaborative consumption, open governance, scale and ultimately, why working together is the business model of the future.

The New Social Innovation Paradigm

The Centre for Social Innovation offers a stunning window into "the new economy of social innovation." Why has the CSI been so prescient, so successful? And what can the rest of us-• non-profits and corporate giants alike-• learn from its community-powered example? In this talk, Tonya Surman outlines three trends in social innovation that are changing mainstream discourse. Addressing audiences of all levels-• but especially young start-ups, hungry to be part of the solution-• Surman discusses entrepreneurism, collaboration, the power of local and why, above all, your mission must be systems-changing. It's not about non-profits asking for free money; it's about harnessing innovative new business models that produce real, and lasting, change.
