Just Ask! Building a Culture of Curiosity to Empower Your Team and Your Constituents [Webinar]

Host Organization: Stanford Social Innovation Review

About

In the celebratory spirit of the 10th anniversary of our webinars, SSIR Live!, we bring to you a number of complimentary programs in 2019, including this webinar, Just Ask! Building a Culture of Curiosity to Empower Your Team and Your Constituents.

A growing body of research points to the stifling effect of a “culture of genius,” where top experts in an organization own ideation. On the other hand is the empowering effect of a culture of curiosity, which seeks input from all staff and constituents. Cultures of curiosity become an engine for continuous learning and improvement. Asking for input from internal and external stakeholders not only provides a valuable stream of ideas for product and service innovation, but also gives dignity and respect to constituents. One tool in particular, “Listen for Good,” is proving effective at eliciting new ideas from clients, and transforming nonprofit business models for the better.

In this complimentary SSIR Live! program—the closing webinar in our online series “The Power of Feedback”— Zander Lurie, CEO of SurveyMonkey, Fay Twersky, director of effective philanthropy at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and Benilda Samuels, the COO of Nurse-Family Partnership will explore why and how organizations can foster a culture of curiosity. And they will share how organizations can channel ideas that surface into greater workplace equity, stakeholder empowerment, and innovations in products, services and nonprofit business models.

This webinar is from 11 a.m.-12 p.m. PT / 2-3 p.m. ET.
