WBS is pleased to announce the first of a new series of events to be held in partnership with the Harvard Business Review and Thinkers50, to be held at the WBS London campus @TheShard
Conscious Capitalism is a philosophy – along with a set of guiding principles – based on the simple idea that business is about more than making a profit. It is an approach built on the fundamental, universal truth that people aspire to more – to meaning and purpose, and to flourishing and fulfilment.
Four core principles underpin the Conscious Capitalism approach to building and leading businesses: higher purpose, stakeholder orientation, conscious leadership, and conscious culture. And since the publication of the original Conscious Capitalism manifesto they have been widely adopted by leading companies around the world.
On 3rd July, Timothy Henry, a cofounder of Conscious Capitalism, Inc., and co-author of The Conscious Capitalism Field Guide, will be in London to talk about the movement. He will be joined by Dr Frederik Dahlmann of Warwick Business School to discuss how Conscious Capitalism is transforming the way we do business.
All attendees will receive a copy of The Conscious Capitalism Field Guide - the authoritative resource for practicing higher purpose, stakeholder orientation, conscious culture, and conscious leadership.
