There is a growing recognition that balancing the common good with healthy self interest is good for business. The Barrett Values Centre, Vancouver Board of Trade and Rix Centre, and the Institute for Values-Based Leadership at Royal Roads University have come together to offer two related events to support leaders who understand that our troubled times call for some new ways of thinking.
Leadership for a new economy in an uncertain world, is a morning breakfast forum featuring keynote speaker Dr. James Orbinski, award-winning author, humanitarian, and president of Doctors Without Borders in 1999 when the organization won the Nobel Peace Prize. Dr. Obrinski will share his vision on how we in business, government and the civil sector can collaborate to become more resilient, and adapt to global challenges in a way that supports our long-term social and economic vitality. Tor Eneroth, culture advisor to Volvo and network director for Barrett Values Centre will share his first-hand experience in how building a better corporate culture benefits the company and the world around it. Together Orbinski and Eneroth will then lead an interactive panel discussion with Bob Elton, corporate director and past CEO of BC Hydro, Dr. Marilyn M. Taylor, director, Institute of Values-based Leadership, Royal Roads University, Ashley Munday, leader, collaborative strategies, the Barrett Values Centre, and Emanuel F. Arruda, founding partner League Assets Corporation, to further explore how to cultivate cultures that foster our collective resilience and prosperity.
In the afternoon, join us for a second learning opportunity also at the Pan Pacific, designed to dig deeper into ideas discussed in the morning forum. The Organization culture change session led by Tor Eneroth, will challenge participants to explore personal and organizational values, and how they can enable positive culture change in their own teams, organizations and communities.
