THE EVOLUTIONARY PROVOCATEUR

The Power of Innovative Learning

The thinking that got us into the situation we are in now is definitely not the kind of thinking that will get us out. We need to leave our comfort zones and explore new possibilities. We need innovative learning.

Energetic blueprints and organizational change

There is an energy field that creates a blueprint which holds things in place. It is created by the unmanaged and unmonitored emotional relationships between levels of power and authority and it directly predicts the success of an organization.

Energetic sensitivity and corporate culture

Have you ever walked into an office and instantly felt comfortable – or completely the opposite? That "vibe" is all about energy – or rather, your sensitivity to that energy. But how can you make this energy work for you?

Why Corporate Cultures Fail to Adapt

While companies aspire to engage their employees, use crisis to innovate or accelerate their speed to market, many simply fail to implement the changes necessary to achieve their goals. Why?

Leading to a Future with Hope

In this last of a series of interviews with Jay Bragdon, we look at South West Airlines culture as an example of an eco-risk company who has successfully organized themselves to be in alignment with stewardship in good times and in bad.

Adapt or die

In this third part of a four part interview with Jay Bragdon, author of Profit for Life, we explore why companies who manage by Living Asset Stewardship aren't the ones running for bailouts.

Doing Things Differently

In the second part of their discussion about Living Asset Stewardship, Dawna Jones and Jay Bragdon examine some examples of companies that do things differently and whose goals encompass more than a narrow focus on the bottom line.

Recreating capitalism

Have we reached a point at which the total cost of industrial capitalism has outweighed its benefits? Jay Bragdon, investment advisor and author of "Profit for Life", thinks we have, and advocates a very different way of doing business.

Seeing the World Through the Eyes of Gen Y- Part 2

For companies waiting for the tough times to get going, now is the perfect time to reflect on the cultural beliefs that engage Gen Y, especially those empowered by passion and a sense of purpose to tackle the larger global issues.

Seeing the world through the eyes of Gen Y

Gen Y appears to mystify companies who are used to interpreting the world a different way. So here we explore the creative and intuitive world of Gen Y through the eyes of someone who isn't waiting until he retires to do what he loves to do.

The Story of a Recovered Corporaholic

Meet Mark Romero, a reformed corporaholic, who left a successful business career to pursue his passion for music. Like more and more of us, he left corporate life to create his own spaces for expressing his passion.

Behold the Lowly Amoeba

Dr. Bruce Lipton, cellular biologist, discusses with Dawna the parallels between innately intelligent cells and innately intelligent communities of employees who defer their unlimited potentiality to the mission of the corporation.

Intuition: mystical power or powerful tool?

It's easy to dismiss intuition as something 'flaky'. Yet everyone has had an experience that they could not explain, a bit of serendipity, a hunch. Successful entrepreneurs rely on it. So if your intuition has not served you well, you're probably just not tuned into it.

Music for Peak Performance

How can music be used as a tool to break down barriers – both within individuals and within business cultures? That's the question Dawna Jones explores as she talks to Mark Romero about using music as a tool for harmonic alignment.

Spiritual intelligence: managing cultures

Success as a modern business leader means being able to see and harness the invisible energetic fuel that drives achievement. And this requires spiritual intelligence - the space, freedom and safety to bring our whole selves to work.

Personal spirit

Everything is energy and people are no different. Talk about that in the workplace and most people think you have gone crazy. But understanding the power of the human spirit helps explain how health is maintained, how balance is sustained and how innovation is supported.

Transforming organizational culture

Organizational cultures are like people, they have a masculine and feminine essence that reveals who there are and what habits they are attached to. Get the balance between the two wrong, however, and things go bad very quickly.

The Power of Listening

CEOs and executives run at a phenomenal pace to make performance happen. But what happens when you stop and listen to those who create the results that executive performance is measured by?

The death of command and control

Mass collaboration and social networks are profoundly changing how executives perform their roles. But they also spell and end to traditional hierarchies and command and control management.

Follow the Joy

If you want to find performance in an organization, follow the joy! That's the starting point for Dawna Jones' discussion with Nick Zeniuk, a former Ford executive who is now best known for his work on organizational performance and learning.

Releasing Tacit Knowledge

Tacit knowledge is one of the most important competitive assets an organisation can possess. Yet mention it and most people say: What? Find out what it is - and why it is so vital - in the first Evolutionary Provocateur.
