And Other Business Diseases of the Industrial Age

The Industrial Age is over, but its culture and business practices are still dominating the front office. These outdated management methods are being rejected by the most successful companies.

The Industrial Age gave us a lot of great toys but some very bad business culture. Concepts like manager, employee, retirement, trading time for money, separating work and play, vacation time, office hours, an addiction to benefits, and other Industrial Age diseases still plague the business world.

Don't be left behind. Come hear how IBM, Best Buy, Zappos and thousands of smaller, more nimble companies are radically changing the way they approach building their business culture to increase revenue with fewer employees, yet with higher staff retention.

This isn't your father's world. Learn how to help your company become a Participation Age Company by adopting this new way of doing business:

• Why the traditional business culture won't do going forward
• How and why to replace the concept of "employee" with "stakeholder"
• How to hire people within your company that you’ll never have to manage
• How and why you need to switch from a time-based culture to a results-based culture
• How a company went from 45.5 hr/wk per employee to 37 hrs in just two months, with the same productivity

Is YOUR company a Participation Age company??
