This workshop will approach CSR from two perspectives. Strategically, how does CSR fit with the soul of your company? What key drivers within the business can be harnessed to deliver deep value that goes beyond the bottom line? Tactically, what are some practical ways to secure some quick and tangible CSR wins for your company that will pave the way for greater initiatives in the future? You will hear two dynamic presentations from our speakers, plus engage in some stimulating discussion about how CSR does – and could – look in your (or a client’s) company.

Relationship Systems Intelligence
May 27 2010
Registration & Light Supper Sandwiches at 5:30pm; Workshop starts at 6:00pm.
Workshop ends at 8:00pm; Networking until cleanout at 8:30pm
This interactive workshop introduces Relationship Systems Intelligence™. Relationship Systems Intelligence builds on principles from Emotional and Social Intelligence, and then expands the focus to a larger paradigm, the capacity to see oneself as part of a Relationship System. A Relationship System is an interdependent group of people with common identity or function. Identifying with and aligning with a system is a holonic shift up from simply connecting effectively with others. It is the difference between relating with a bunch of individuals in a group, to seeing the group as a single integrated whole.
Drawing from experience with clients such as Boeing, IBM, and the Grand Canyon, the presenter will focus on how leveraging the three Intelligences is fundamental to creating resilient, nimble organizations. You will leave with practical tools to apply in your own practice or organization.

Who you are and what you stand for is just as important as the quality of products and services you provide. To become a market leader involves embarking on a process of whole system change.
