 An increasing trend in businesses today is to prove to stakeholders it operates as a good corporate citizen. In order to achieve this, businesses are developing key policies and practices centering around business ethics and socially responsible management. This program explores the practical ways organizations are integrating business ethics and social responsibility into all aspects of its operations. In addition it examines the structure and purpose of the Corporate Responsibility Index (CRI) as a means of benchmarking corporate responsibility.
 "Tempered radicals" are people who want to succeed in their organization, yet also live by values or identities that might be at odds with their organization's primary culture. Such individuals do not fit neatly into an established structure, yet can be subtle agents for change in ways that ultimately benefit the corporation and make it more able to deal with today's diverse world. $129.99 [Add to Cart] The ‘green’ approach to life started as a grass-roots, community-based movement.

People expect business to be at the fore with regard to sustainability – to lead changes in thinking and behaviour. This program discusses the benefits of ‘green’ workplaces. The lead must come from the top - managers and business owners find themselves needing to be increasingly in tune with sustainable and ecological thinking.

 Strategic planning is the process of creating a wave of change while gaining commitment from your employees and other stakeholders necessary to make it happen. Yet, change inevitably engenders resistance. Even the best strategic plans can fail if this resistance is not met and overcome. Dr. Katz explains six principles for effective implementation: leadership, a clear vision or goal, a comprehensive perspective, a process for adverse opinions, persistence, and flexibility. She then provides examples of each of these components, and discusses current efforts within Stanford University that provide a model for successful change. Roberta Katz has served as senior vice president and general counsel of Netscape Communications Corp. She earned a PhD from Columbia University and is a graduate of the University of Washington School of Law. Dr. Katz is the author of "Justice Matters: Rescuing the Legal System for the 21st Century."
Is your organization adapting to the changing environment as quickly as your competitors? The creation of strategic change is one of the most critical challenges that managers face today, and it also proves to be one of the most difficult. Professor Phills draws on examples from his research and consulting experience to illustrate the psychological and organizational barriers that can get in the way. Explaining the need to balance advocacy with inquiry when in the midst of strategic discussions, Phills introduces a framework for surmounting communication breakdowns that otherwise prevent effective decision making and hinder constructive change. $129.99 [Add to Cart]
Jacqueline Novogratz Amazingly, something as essential as clean water is more difficult to come by for two-thirds of the world’s population. People are made to pay more for basic life services while earning far less. Novogratz describes how you can put systems in place to start chipping away at this daunting problem. But doing your part in aiding the world’s poverty dilemma doesn’t mean that you aren’t allowed to make a profit. Learn about successful programs that have used established business techniques to produce quantifiable results in some of the world’s most destitute areas.
 Change is no longer an event... Change is business as usual. Customers are demanding "better, faster, cheaper"; competition is fierce; and a turbulent economy and technological advances increase the pressure to "do more with less." Success today is dependent on keeping your work force resilient, positive, and engaged while this rapid (and accelerating) change constantly turns your organization upside down. Yet, employees are increasingly skeptical about committing to business strategies that are constantly being redefined. Program Highlights
 Duration: 62 Minutes (2008) Most companies that attempt fundamental transformation fail. From a ten-year study of over 500 firms, Professor Tabrizi found the successful ones share common practices: from creating an initial sense of urgency and top-down alignment, to building cross-functional teams with the stamina to “reassemble a flying plane,” to committing to ruthless operational execution and dramatic cultural change. Hewlett-Packard and Oracle had unique transformation goals yet shared common practices. H-P’s top management set goals, timetables, and performance expectations for a multi-pronged overhaul of its operating model, capital structure, R&D investment, and IT infrastructure. Oracle’s transformation from an amalgam of seventy “little companies” to an integrated, cost-efficient structure was launched with a top-down sense of urgency, coupled with changes in performance incentives to get employees on board. Dr. Tabrizi is a Professor of Management Science & Engineering, Stanford University, and the author of “Rapid Transformation.” He received his MS and PhD from Stanford University. Ann Livermore is Executive Vice President, Technology Solutions Group, Hewlett-Packard Co. She holds an MBA from Stanford University, and she serves on the board of UPS. Safra Catz is President of Oracle Corp, and has been a board member since 2001. She earned a JD from University of Pennsylvania Law School. $129.99 [Add to Cart] Produced - 2005

Leaders today face an ever more global, competitive, and dynamic environment. Emerging markets provide growth opportunities, yet demand innovative business models. Jim Bramante distills the findings of IBM’s latest Global CEO Study, based on interviews with one thousand CEOs worldwide, to define the Enterprise of the Future. He points to five strategic trends found in the leaders across industry segments. Top performers hunger for and embrace change rather than react to it. They innovate beyond customer imagination to reach the technologically sophisticated. These leaders seek new ways to organize globally to tap worldwide talent, and they are willing to aggressively attack enterprise and revenue models—even whole industry models. Finally, they demonstrate a genuine concern for customer and corporate social responsibility. $129.99 [Add to Cart]
Managing Change in Large OrganizationsRobert Bosch (Australia) is the first company to be endorsed by the Australian Conservation Foundation. This program explores the story behind the endorsement, examining Bosch's environmental management policies across a wide range of activities. Waste reduction, the re-use of materials, recycling inputs and products are now a natural part of management at Robert Bosch.
 The Change Management Effectiveness Profile provides a detailed process for assessing an individual's capacity to handle minor or major change. This is done by measuring change management ability in several categories.
Richard Roi Todd Pierce At any given time, companies may be juggling as many as ten different change initiatives. The sad reality is that the majority of them will fail as new ideas lead to new projects while the older ones are allowed to languish. And often, it’s large companies with strong corporate cultures that have particular difficulty handling change. Adaptation, done correctly, can lead to increased profits, but it’s important to remember how you got there. A truly adaptive organization values people over technology and respects its employees as both individuals and team members.
Organizations are built for stability, not for change. But in today's highly competitive business environment, organizations must be ready to change—and change frequently. They need to replace long-term planning with a succession of short-term advantages. They must increase their "surface area" with the outside world; drive leadership to lower levels in the company; and reward decision makers for change management as well as results. $129.99 [Add to Cart] This course is also available for online training, see details below.

Before any strategic vision can be realized, it must be shared with employees.

 Part of Stephen Covey's Lessons in Leadership Set. Here is a lesson about how the ghosts of our past create both fear and guidance. It is the story of a successful author grappling with writer's block and his very personal Journey to Discovery. Walking the cold streets of 19th century London, our distressed writer is under pressure to produce another novel and haunted by memories of his childhood: the poverty, the grueling factory work, the fear of being homeless. He is at a paralyzing impasse. While walking, he comes across a boy with whom he begins to talk. He finds the boy is working because his parents don't make enough money and, when asked for whom he works, the boy replies, 'For people like you.' This chance encounter is transformative, inspiring our writer, who gets back to his task with fervor. This is the true story of Charles Dickens and his classic, A Christmas Carol. It is an excellent example of how, when blocked, we tend to focus on the impasse itself, which hampers our ability to move forward. Journey to Discovery offers a poignant look at how we can utilize our past and our vision of the future to get back in touch with who we are and our place in the world. It's a look at how our past, present and future come into play when faced with stressful change situations. Journey to Discovery will help viewers to:
Journey to Discovery is an opportunity to identify and overcome impasse-causing situations from Dr. Stephen Covey, founder and chair of the Covey Leadership Center and author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
 Part of Stephen Covey's Lessons in Leadership Set. Law of the Harvest draws workplace lessons from an unusual source: Farming. It is an enlightening look at the true meaning of "reaping what you sow", and the importance of a strong work ethic. Viewers meet Grant Neibaur, a potato farmer whose work, like all farmers, is largely dictated by Mother Nature (thus quite unpredictable). Grant illustrates the folly of seeking quick-fix solutions. Persistence, patience and perseverance, as well as attention to detail, are imperative. With potato farming, it takes three to four years from soil prep to the harvest -- short-cuts simply don't cut it. The unpredictable nature of farming provides an excellent backdrop, bringing to light that each task has great impact on the outcome. It's an opportunity to examine process, quality, competence, timeliness, sacrifice and preparation. Viewers learn to:
Law of the Harvest is an opportunity to create success in your organization from the ground up, thanks to Dr. Steven Covey, founder and chair of the Covey Leadership Center and author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Includes: A 7 minute DVD or VHS video and Leader's Guide.
