David Adler, the founder of BizBash who launched and led the book project with co-authors James Cornehlsen and Andrew Frothingham, says, "I've long maintained that collaboration artists should be more appreciated for what they accomplish. I've seen them work miracles in both the events and diplomacy. But I had no idea how the topic would keep growing, or how huge the implications were. There was serendipity all over the place."
In Harnessing Serendipity, readers will meet:
- A behind-the scenes diplomacy expert who explains the differences between hard power, soft power, and smart power and how they, literally, set the tables of statecraft for peaceful results
- An executive who held company team meetings on bicycles so that the participants couldn't look at their phones
- An entrepreneur who pulls off seemingly impossible stunts
- A scholar/practitioner who explains new scientific discoveries about the dynamics of groups
- An innovator who's moved the action off the stage and into the hallways
- A deep thinker who doesn't use the word "audience."
- A quiet revolutionary who no longer uses the term "conference."
Numerous creatives have piloted ways to integrate and leverage the new virtual opportunities.
Collaboration Artists, Conveners and Connectors on Harnessing Serendipity is a relentlessly positive response to the pervasive divisiveness and negativity that threatens our endeavors and, perhaps, our existence. "If we can share, learn and celebrate more about collaboration," Adler says,"better, higher performance collaboration just might be an answer to improving the world."
Included in this first edition are collaboration artists from multiple industries and backgrounds with multiple approaches (for backgrounds, go to http://www.harnessingserendipity.com).
