Transforming Business

Scottish Parliament
A group of business leaders in Edinburgh have arranged for Dr Peter Heslam to speak on the subject of his new book Transforming Capitalism to the Scottish Parliament. This will be held on Tuesday 7th September, 5.45 pm for 6.15 pm, ending at 7.15 pm. For security reasons, registration is required. Further details can be found here.

Theology and business
Trying to mix theology and business is often likened to trying to mix oil and water. But a group of the world's top thought leaders who work at the theology and business interface will be assembling at Laity Lodge's Retreat Center in the Fio River Canyon of Texas from 14-17 October 2010. Through a dynamic process of reading, listening and mutual learning, the aim will be to mobilize good theory into practice and good practice into theory. Dr Peter Heslam (Director of Transforming Business) will be one of the participants. Although the event is invitation-only, those interested in the proceedings should contact Prof Randy Franz, the conference convenor, after the event on rfranz[at]spu.edu

Managing effective change
In our work at Transforming Business, 'relational capital' has emerged as a crucial element for human flourishing and business success. John Kay, our Director of Change Management, has been working with the Relationships Foundation, a leading think tank based in Cambridge, to develop a high impact one day course in Cambridge. It is designed to equip leaders with the skills and insights necessary to manage change that is effective and sustainable because it is built around relationships. Click here to find out more.

Entrepreneurial leaders
The Centre for Entrepreneurial Leaders, directed by Transforming Business' Dr Rick Goossen, will be holding its annual Entrepreneur Forum in Vancouver in Cananda from 19-20 October 2010. This is one of the largest gatherings of faith-based entrepreneurs in the world - this year six hundred delegates are expected. Speakers include the business leader and best-selling author Peter John Daniels. This promises to be a top quality event, details of which are posted here.
