SUMMARY:Can and Should Organization Designers Help Businesses Build a Better Society?
DESCRIPTION:Join an upcoming Community ConversationApril 4th | 11 AM – 12:30 PM (EDT)The times are changing, again! In addition to traditional concerns about cost, agility and quality, our clients [and us] are being challenged with their record on SDG’s, ESG, DEI+B in the world outside their organizations. While these challenges overlap significantly, the question they raise is how do we as design practitioners respond, if at all?Guest presenter:  Bernard MohrModerator:  Paul TolchinskyDuring this session we will explore the following:What contributions to society do we want from our business enterprises?What role do we, as organization designers, want to play in helping our clients build a better society? What is our responsibility as a profession and as practitioners?How, when and where can we, as designers, engage leaders in the conversation about the role of their businesses in creating a better society?How do we help our clients integrate “profit” and “purpose”What capabilities will our client organizations need to succeed in this arena?What will our “offer” to our clients look like? What skills, tools, capabilities, practices, etc., will we offer to our clientsWhat are we doing today? What could we do in the future?The session will combine a short presentation by Bernard and small group discussions and explorations into our role in supporting our clients to create a better society.Recommended pre-reads:– Why Wall Street Firms are Flip-flopping (NYT Article)– The Essential Link Between ESG Targets & Financial Performance (HBR Article)
