Berrett-Koehler Publishers and the Fowler Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit at Case Western Reserve University—are inviting the participation of new collaborating associations, sponsors, thought leaders, and participants from around the globe.
The 5th Global Forum is being elevated, enriched, and advanced by a rapidly growing set of “collaborating partners” and global associations.
This track is designed to facilitate, across national boundaries and management disciplines, the emergent new theory of business dialogue within the management sciences and the interdisciplinary domains of constructive human science and organization theory. Including among its participants—each with a powerful contribution to the emerging theory of business--are thought leaders and vanguard models and a myriad of forms that are proliferating.
The Global Goals mobilization stands as the largest macro-project in history, dwarfing the collaborations to heal the ozone layer; dwarfing the global eradication of smallpox; dwarfing humankind’s leap to the moon; and dwarfing the re-building of the world economy through the Marshall Plan. Moreover, the Global Goals, as the most epic earthshot macro-project ever, is not so much about solution capacity or scarcity of resources as it is about unlocking heretofore hidden powers of unprecedented collaboration.
Consciousness research is no longer a futuristic mission as it has rapidly and truly entered the fields of leadership development, neuroscience, the study of emotional intelligence, mindfulness in management, as well as “leadership and the new science” with its worldview of fundamental interconnectedness.
We're extremely grateful for our incredible hosts.

Berrett-Koehler Publishers is an independent book publisher dedicated to an ambitious mission: connecting people and ideas to create a world that works for all.
Berrett-Koehler Publishers is an independent book publisher dedicated to an ambitious mission: connecting people and ideas to create a world that works for all. What does that mean? We share ideas that lead to more positive and meaningful workplace experiences in practical, to-the-point books. We walk our talk. Our values—stewardship, quality, partnership, inclusion, sustainability—are not just words in some document created by some committee, printed out and then forgotten. We strive to live them every day. We believe that to truly create a better world, we need to take action at all levels: in our organizations, in our communities, and in our lives. Our organizations, our communities, and our lives as individuals get bogged down by old paradigms of leadership, hierarchy, self-interest, exclusion, and privilege. But we believe that can change. Our books and now our leading-edge online summits are about opening up new space for this change to flourish, about bringing people together around important ideas that make a difference in their organizations, in their communities, and in their lives.
The solutions to the world’s problems will come from all of us. When we are motivated by love, caring, and a desire to contribute, we can accomplish more than people who are scrambling to win. All our books champion change, just at different scales. Helping people to create infectious positive change in their lives and the lives of people around them. We believe the best way to grow and improve as individuals is to grow and improve our relationships and responsibilities to others. In other words—it’s not self-help; it’s us-help. All of us should strive to improve our lives in ways that are beneficial for our families, organizations, communities, nations, and world.
Because of their distinctive focus, BK Life books cut across various traditional bookselling categories, including personal development, inspiration, spirituality, psychology, career, communication, motivation, and personal finance. What these books all have in common is a focus on creating infectious positive change that starts with you. There’s a full spectrum of topics—from improving your career skills to looking deep inside yourself and discovering your inner purpose. Whether you want a pragmatic book to help you become more successful or a heady book that will help you become more in tune with the universe of possibilities, we’ve got you covered. We have been going strong for over twenty years because we live our values, take joy in innovation, and strive to make all voices heard. As mentioned, we have been pioneering with platform-based, online summits. Our last two world-class events—one on Servant Leadership and the other on Leadership for a Changing World Summit—have both exceeded and served over 20,000 participants each, drawing together thought leaders, business executives, change agents, managers, student leaders, and entrepreneurs with an eye on a future that works for all.
