“The institutions of our present society have to be rolled up for new ones to be laid out in their place, and they are making every effort for that to happen quickly. Where is our next opportunity to make a difference?"
Arthur Dahl, ebbf board member, IEF president, former UNEP assistant secretary general
During this weekend event, we will:
explore some of the key economic and social trends that underpin the fast-moving world we live in, to help us maximise our opportunities
offer tools and methods to help us positively influence our own work environments and create successful, values-based companies
enjoy invaluable conversations with like-minded individuals who share the same passions and challenges
This year the theme of the conference will be Excellence in Business. Much has been published on how we can achieve excellent employee relations, excellent product creation, excellent marketing, excellent accounting and excellence in a wide variety of other areas in business. We want to build on all of this and take it further to ask: How can we nurture excellence as an attitude across a business, not only in each individual area but also in the connections between different areas of the business?
We want to look at excellence as more than just how businesses can make a greater profit. We will discuss extending the striving for excellence that we have seen in business seeking to improve their financial bottom line to such aspects as the sustainability of the business, the contribution of that business to wider society and the ability of the business to provide their employees with meaningful work. We also need to examine how the process of striving for excellence can itself be made sustainable, how we can incorporate an attitude of constant learning into our businesses.
WHO WILL BE THERE?
A diverse group of women and men who cross generations, borders, sectors and beliefs with a common passion for the application and search for innovation, values-inspired leadership, moral and ethical values in their work environment.
CEOs, directors, business owners - entrepreneurs, young professionals, MBA students and executives - social innovators: you will meet like-minded individuals keen to explore and share ways to inspire a new paradigm of work. A successful, values-driven one.
ebbf will offer all of this in the unique atmosphere described by one participant as:
"informal, relaxed, almost like a family, at the same time surrounded by some great thought leaders and visionaries with whom you can interact. Everything happens in a very casual and comfortable way because of the environment that envelopes you."
