Purpose-Driven Strategy

Dr. Violina Rindova is a world class strategy professor at USC and an expert on innovation and entrepreneurship. In this working session, she will engage Netcito’s community of entrepreneurs (and others our members invite) in a lively discussion of her current research on the foundations of creativity and imagination that bring successful organizations into the world.

Netcito’s Jamey Stowell has witnessed Violina’s ability to help leaders to unlock market opportunities, working together with 100s of C-Suite executives throughout the U.S. This session will include:

• Scrum-style breakouts where Netcito entrepreneurs and guests examine the purpose at the heart of their strategies, and (later) debrief learning and practical intentions based on the content;
• An interview between Jamey and Violina to provide context at the intersection of strategy, entrepreneurship, and creativity.
• Substantial direct discussion between participants and Violina to explore these topics in greater depth.

This event will not be recorded — live only.
