SoL Finland

THE SOL EUROPEAN FORUM IN STOCKHOLM

Welcome to Stockholm and The SoL European Forum May 21^st – 23^rd 2012 - to explore the TRANSFORMATION OF VALUES AND ORGANIZATIONS IN A NEW REALITY!

SoL Sweden and the collective European SoL communities are delighted to invite you to participate in this SoL European forum in the beautiful surroundings of Stockholm in order to explore and enhance the European perspective on the shift taking place in cultural, ecological and economic fields and its challenge for our corporations and societies. The SoL European Forum is open to the Global SoL Society but designed by a European team.

Background
There is a demand for a new generation of leadership - in all levels of society. Change is no longer an option or something to choose. Change is an urgent must and something for all organizations, institutions, corporations and individuals to embrace.

We can see a growing number of present failures by traditional, controlling and fearful leadership, fighting hopelessly for their existence. But, at the same time, we can also experience that some people step forward, take leadership and talk about change in a straightforward, clear and appealing way. It could be about a new direction for a country. It could be about a company shifting towards sustainability. It could be about one person’s willingness to create a new direction in life. When these moments occur people tend to listen, people tend to be inspired and people tend to become ready to follow - All evidence of true new leadership.

In the business environment multinational companies have grown into becoming one of the strongest global forces. Simultaneously a broad wave of social entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurs is rising forward. The new generation of companies is attracting customers, consumers, partners and employees, not by maximizing, but instead contributing to real change in harmony with the needs of people and society. New business models are rapidly emerging, built on transparency, collaboration, values, sharing of information and technology, in cooperation with consumers and competitors based on communities, changed roles and reversed logics. A combined economical, ecological and social shift that completely changes the reality for leadership

The fundament of the new generation of leadership comes down to people, to you and me and what we can achieve together. It’s not a question about age, it’s about our ability and courage to take a new leadership in our own life and work life. It raises questions as; how will we lead and be led, how will we organize and be organized and how will we inspire and be inspired?

We strongly believe that you are part of the new generation leadership and welcome you to explore and co-create the new reality during The SoL European Forum 2012!
