Global Business Futures Initiative Conversations: A Virtual Webinar Series

Purpose-Driven Organizations: Defining & Achieving Corporate Longevity in a Turbulent Environment

Private and public businesses form the backbone of our national economy, but they’re disappearing at an alarming rate due to the COVID-19 pandemic and consequent economic collapse. What is a purpose-driven organization? What’s the difference between a great company and a great investment? How does organizational purpose help with corporate longevity?

Join us on February 11, 2021 to hear from Michael E.Raynor, Managing Director with Deloitte LLP. Mr. Raynor is a world-renowned expert in the area of climate change, innovation and strategy. He is also the author of four best-selling books including The Three Rules: How Exceptional Companies Think.

This event is co-hosted by the Global Business Futures Initiative (GBFI) and Haskayne Executive Education.
