Leadership For a Better World

Creating Perspectives For Change

Thursday 3 October 2024

Major social issues need a new institutional arrangement in which all sectors including politics, business, civil society and concerned citizens act together to bring about change. Individual actors cannot do it alone; they need to work with others in coalitions of the willing to make lasting changes. In today’s polarized climate, it is almost impossible to imagine that such an arrangement can come about and yet it will have to; if everyone puts their own stone in the river, eventually the course can shift.

In the ELP Annual Leadership Conference 2024 participants will jointly create awareness of how their leadership can contribute to a better world and develop actionable ideas. Three cases will be presented of individuals and organizations that are taking the lead in contributing to a better world. They are: Michelle van Tongerloo (a street doctor who offers her patients a new perspective on life), Patagonia (the famous sustainable outdoor brand) and Port of Rotterdam (using digital as an enabler to tackle the climate challenge). A panel will offer suggestions on how senior executives in other organizations can learn from these examples by providing a first collection of actionable ideas, on which participants can build in their moderated Roundtable Dialogues. As always the ELP Conference is a mix of inspiring keynotes, in-depth moderated Dialogues and high-level networking.

Why join?

  1. Be inspired by great speakers.
  2. Engage with peers in moderated Roundtable Dialogues.
  3. Develop actionable ideas to contribute to a better world

It provides a space to reflect upon your own leadership style and behavior. It offers you an opportunity to communicate with kindred spirits who are in the same boat.

“I have had many engaging, creative and inspiring sessions at the ELP conference.
The breadth of topics covered is impressive; so is the depth at which the topics are interrogated.
The colleagues I have met have remained an invaluable source of professional and personal insight,
experience and support which I treasure to this day.”
