Podcast appearances and mentions of Blair H Sheppard

Talán még sosem volt ilyen nagy szükség arra, hogy újragondoljuk útirányunkat – és talán ennyire sürgős sem – állítják a szerzők, köztük elsőként Blair H. Sheppard, a PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) globális tanácsadó vállalat stratégiáért és vezetésért felelős vezetője. A világ egyik legkiválóbb tanácsadóinak tollából született kötet célja, hogy segítsen azonosítani, miben áll számunkra a válság lényege és javaslatokkal álljon elő, hogy mit tehetünk ellenük, mindezt pedig szokatlanul olvasmányos formában tárják az olvasók elé.

Ep 328 - Are there Ten Years to Midnight? Guest: Blair H. Sheppard Blair Sheppard thinks big and from his vantage point, he says there are only “Ten Years to Midnight” – which is the title of his book that addresses four urgent global crises and the strategies needed to solve them. It is not a book he wanted to write. He didn’t seek out these crises. Rather they emerged as he travelled the globe, observing trends in India, Spain, the UK, the United States, along with a dozen other countries. Sheppard is the former Dean of the Business School at Duke University and the Global Head of Strategy and Leadership at PricewaterhouseCoopers. He is an optimist by nature and he’s worried about our collective future. The reason he’s concerned is the scope of the challenges the world faces and the big thinking that is needed to address them by people with the power to make the necessary changes. We invited Blair Sheppard to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the major issues facing us all and the insights, strategies and courage needed to address them. Conversations That Matter is a partner program for the Morris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue at Simon Fraser University.

In the 70 years following the introduction of the Marshall Plan, the world saw unparalleled prosperity – but Blair Sheppard argues this steady prosperity has now “unraveled.” Rising economic inequality, disruption caused by technology, polarization overcoming consensus, and a loss of trust in institutions are driving significant global challenges. Blair believes the current trajectories of prosperity, technology, institutional legitimacy and leadership have created an existential crisis, “But if we tackle them now, thoughtfully, imaginatively, creatively, and energetically, in ten years we could be looking at a dawn instead of darkness.” Blair H. Sheppard is the global leader for strategy and leadership at PwC, a network of professional services firms committed to building trust in society and solving important problems. He is also professor emeritus and dean emeritus of Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business. During his time at Duke, he was the founding CEO and chairman of Duke Corporate Education and was the principal force behind opening Duke’s campus in China. Five of the coauthors are directors in global strategy and leadership at PwC and one is a leading business journalist. - Bio provided by Berrett-Koehler Publishers
