• Leadership for Extraordinary Result

  How A Leadership Role Can Bring 10x Higher Financial Performance

  The last century approach requires a whole new framework to succeed. The idea shared by Milton Friedman, the Nobel Prize winner, in the 1960s that the purpose of business is to generate profits for its shareholders, no longer serves anyone. Return on Assets has decreased to its lowest level since the 1960s.

  As leaders, we need to understand that a new framework based on Cause, Leadership, Interdependence and Culture unleashes the full potential of our teams and business ecosystems and will assure our sustainability for the coming decades.

By defining a clear business purpose, embracing our interconnectedness, and fostering a culture of care, we can create a more sustainable and successful future.

Conscious Capitalism: The New Framework for Extraordinary Success

How to Prepare Your Organization to Fit the 21st-Century Economy

Since the industrial revolution, we transformed everything into resources, including “human resources.” We ask kids what they want to be when they grow up, and allow them to choose from the list of resources we created. This model has reached its limit. The value chain forgot most of the stakeholders in our ecosystem.

It is time to go back to basics, allow CLIC to unleash the true potential of our organizations and create sustainable value for the coming decades.

Attendee Results:

• Understand the power of purpose
• Recognize that we are interdependent in our business ecosystem

Governance with Purpose: Unleashing full potential of the ESG strategy

How to Implement ESG and the Upgrade of People, Planet and Profit

John Elkinton introduced us to the triple bottom-line at the end of the last century. It was clearly lacking an update offered by the ESG model. Now ESG has become the new norm for companies to report, manage and perform but the majority of us have not been able to make this happen. Until we understand how ESG can help us drive the new levels of performance, we, as leaders, and our organizations will be struggling -• just creating more compliance cost. Are you ready to embrace the true upgrade of PPP: people, planet and profit?

Attendee Results:

• Recognize the upgrade and benefits of ESG
• Understand the changes needed to go beyond compliance
• Unleash the full potential of ESG governance
• Implement ESG governance at every level of your organization
