“If you lack an aspiration [as an organisation], if you lack a sense of why you are there in the first place, it is very easy to go off track and to wander into domains and areas of interest that might not be specific to your value or your expertise, at which point you begin to dilute the value of the institution.”
Professor John Davis wants to challenge you. He’s the author of Radical Business: How to transform your organization in the age of global crisis and a professor teaching on MBA courses at the University of Oregon.
In our latest Leading and Learning Webinar, which the above quote is from, he gets to the heart of how to create value as an organisation - the components that go into it and the three themes that can determine it.
Those themes are value meaning, value measure and value mobilisation. Each is applicable to schools and trusts, and the objective of the webinar is to empower leaders in these organisations to use these themes as a blueprint for transformation and sustainability.
It’s also about ensuring that their organisation can continue to play a vital role in society, Professor Davis says.
