In this series, Transforming Enterprise Operations, we host conversations with people in leadership in what Meridian University calls Creative Enterprises. In this webinar, we'll talk with our presenter, Edward West, about the challenges and opportunities of operating collaboratively. Edward believes that we already have everything we need in our communities to build whatever we can imagine, and that distributed networks of entrepreneurs and creators, fueled by love and passion, empowered by next generation software tools and collaborative spaces, can build a new culture of generosity, creativity, and mutual support. He believes that a vibrant, connected, collaborative humanity can heal divides, connect each of us to our deepest gifts, in service to the whole, and humanity's next unfolding.
This is the third in Meridian University's webinar series produced as part of the Operations Management course in the Integral MBA in Creative Enterprise and open to students and the public. This series is hosted by Nika Quirk, core faculty for the Integral MBA program.
