    About this event

    Please join the International Humanistic Management Association (IHMA) and Dr. Sandra Waddock (Boston College) for an Intellectual Shaman conversation with Dr. David Cooperrider (Case Western University) to discuss the topic "Large System Change".

    David is founder of the Appreciative Inquiry approach to large system change and Case Western Reserve's Business as an Agent of World Benefit. He will share his perspective with us about the need for large system change and the ways in which we as academics can take the necessary risks to do work in the world that really matters. David has long been known for stepping outside of traditional academic boundaries to work with companies and communities of different scopes and sizes to help them recognize the power of strength-based approaches to multi-stakeholder initiatives and working collaboratively together. His clear focus is based in strong values of enabling positive change and a flourishing world through working with complex systems. Join us for an inspirational chat about these important matters!

    Date: Friday, February 4

    Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (EDT)
