• Leadership for Extraordinary Result

  How A Leadership Role Can Bring 10x Higher Financial Performance

  The last century approach requires a whole new framework to succeed. The idea shared by Milton Friedman, the Nobel Prize winner, in the 1960s that the purpose of business is to generate profits for its shareholders, no longer serves anyone. Return on Assets has decreased to its lowest level since the 1960s.

  As leaders, we need to understand that a new framework based on Cause, Leadership, Interdependence and Culture unleashes the full potential of our teams and business ecosystems and will assure our sustainability for the coming decades.

  • Recognize the infinite potential of unleashing a new level of engagement
  • Prepare your organization to tap into new levels of performance

• Purpose-Based Innovation

  How to Invite Stakeholders to Contribute to Business Innovation

  The biggest opportunity to innovate lies outside the business with those who use our products and services, those who support our growth, and those who operate our business -- not a group of people inside the “R&D department.”

  Attendee Results:

  • Understand the importance to listen to different stakeholders in our business ecosystem
  • Learn the importance of having a clear communication strategy in order to listen to different stakeholders
  • Accept that innovation is everywhere and can be harvested with a good stakeholder management strategy

• The Heroic Spirit of Entrepreneurs

  How to Unleash the Power of Entrepreneurship in Your Organization

  There is a need for flexibility, agility and resilience in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world. Here, we have an opportunity to unleash the power of clarity, interdependence, and responsible leadership -- both within our organization and among founders and leaders. By defining a clear business purpose, embracing our interconnectedness, and fostering a culture of care, we can create a more sustainable and successful future. This collaborative framework has always existed as part of our shared humanity, was disrupted by the industrial revolution, and is now being revived to drive 21st-century organizations forward.

  • Understand the need to keep the entrepreneurial spirit alive and energized
  • Understand the most successful collaboration framework ever created
  • Understand gaps to recover your organization to live up to its fullest potential
  • Rescue your team and ecosystem to reach new levels of performance

• Conscious Capitalism: The New Framework for Extraordinary Success

  How to Prepare Your Organization to Fit the 21st-Century Economy

  Since the industrial revolution, we transformed everything into resources, including “human resources.” We ask kids what they want to be when they grow up, and allow them to choose from the list of resources we created. This model has reached its limit. The value chain forgot most of the stakeholders in our ecosystem.

  It is time to go back to basics, allow CLIC to unleash the true potential of our organizations and create sustainable value for the coming decades.

  Attendee Results:

  • Understand the power of purpose
  • Recognize that we are interdependent in our business ecosystem
  • Be responsible for the behaviors we are promoting

• Governance with Purpose: Unleashing full potential of the ESG strategy

  How to Implement ESG and the Upgrade of People, Planet and Profit

  John Elkinton introduced us to the triple bottom-line at the end of the last century. It was clearly lacking an update offered by the ESG model. Now ESG has become the new norm for companies to report, manage and perform but the majority of us have not been able to make this happen. Until we understand how ESG can help us drive the new levels of performance, we, as leaders, and our organizations will be struggling -- just creating more compliance cost. Are you ready to embrace the true upgrade of PPP: people, planet and profit?

  Attendee Results:

  • Recognize the upgrade and benefits of ESG
  • Understand the changes needed to go beyond compliance
  • Unleash the full potential of ESG governance
  • Implement ESG governance at every level of your organization
