Last January, twenty-one business strategists, Agile/Lean practitioners met in Stoos, Switzerland to talk about the mess management is in.

Out of that has grown the Stoos movement, a community of business professionals world-wide who believe that by challenging the status quo, a better way can be found for business, management and the role of business in society as a whole.

Here, Dawna talks to John Styffe, self-sustainability coach and one of the founding members, about the origins of Stoos, the emergence of Satellites and about #LESS2012 where the Stoos conversation will be continued.

Erwin van der Koogh, Chief Wow Officer at Erronis, has a vision. It is to turn how we manage and change organizations upside down. The old style of management has served us well but a new style is emerging to meet new challenges. The in-between phase is messy. Listen in as Dawna and Erwin sit at a coffee shop on the streets of Amsterdam and talk about the Stoos Stampede, career change, and the role of storytelling to create effective change.

The recent financial crisis2019s and ethical breaches challenge business and business schools to rethink their role in society along with how leaders both develop and adapt.

Professor Ken Starkey, Head of the Management Division for the Management and Organisational Learning at Nottingham University Business School explores why we are stuck on short term thinking, and what role business schools and business leaders can play to return to restore 2018humanomics2019 and care in what we do and how we do it as a basic part of business sustainability.

Will business schools accept responsibility for their part in short term-ism? Will they step up to a role as agents of change?

Most companies can readily articulate what they do and how they do it, but great companies inspire customers to come to them.

With the competition for customer's attention increasing, knowing how to change the game from attempting to motivate a transaction to inspiring loyalty can make customer retention much easier.

Simon Sinek started as a student of anthropology and then applied his interest to understanding who great leaders lead great companies and what sets them apart from the crowd. Here, he explains how and why to start with "why".

In an environment of absolutes such as "adapt or die" there is room for creativity and a higher level of awareness.

Max Mckeown, author of Adaptability, shares stories that show how, by being creatively adaptive, even the apparently hopeless situations can be transformed into radical change.

Adaptability can open up possibilities when there appears to a single option while, moving from idea to execution without being clear on the context can result in case examples like Borders versus Amazon. Loaded with practical examples, Max dives deep into what the value of adaptability is for business now.

Dov Seidman, author of "How! Why how we do anything means everything", talks to Dawna Jones about what it takes for business to become resilient in a world where the Occupy movement raises fundamental questions about the role of business in society.

Too many organizations are scrambling to cope with uncertainty and complexity by relying on old strategies, he says. But Dov's research explains exactly what companies must do in order to move away from measuring ‘how much’, to start restoring integrity and start understanding true value.

Dov Seidman is the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of LRN. He has been called by FORTUNE Magazine “the hottest advisor on the corporate virtue circuit.” Leading companies such as Disney, Dow Chemical, eBay, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, Raytheon, and 3M turn to LRN to help management govern more effectively and workers do the right things the right way, even in the most challenging of situations.

Dov is a Harvard Law School graduate who also earned a bachelor's and master's degree in philosophy from UCLA, and a BA with honors in philosophy, politics, and economics from Oxford University.

The Global Leadership Forecast presents five skills to address what research shows is a crisis of leadership. But these five skills aren't going deep enough to unleash human potential.

In this program, Dawna Jones outlines the five inner skills that equip leaders to navigate uncertainty with greater ease and to use it to advantage.

As the global markets suffer further jitters, Dawna Jones talks to Dr Carl Callerman about how the role of money as the sole purpose for business and enterprise appears to be changing.

In this two-part interview, Dr Callerman puts forward an entirely new way of seeing the role of business in society.

In part two of Dawna's interview with ecopreneur Kemp Edwards they explore a range of topics:

• • Is using sustainability as a strategy about being ethical or is it recognition that nature's principles apply to business?

• • How does service to community impact employee engagement?

• • What power do consumers have to affect business accountability?

• • Why some businesses (Boomers) struggle with failure to 'execute'?

• • What can businesses do to restore credibility when it comes to reporting social and economic responsibility?
