Biology of Business - Why Relationships Matter with Dr Elisabet Sahtouris

When you break it down, everything in life follows biological systems and the evolution of these living systems. Even businesses: from what works to what doesnt, relationships between customers and clients, and processes of work, there is biology to business.

Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris arrives in Auckland in March for a unique conference that will outline how scientific concepts, especially the fundamental assumptions of globalised western science, deeply influence economics, and therefore the human future. It will question what we think we know helping us understand the keys to business success.

 Auckland: Friday 30th March (evening), Saturday 31st March (all day)

Course content:

Scientific concepts, especially the fundamental assumptions of globalized western science, deeply influence economics, and therefore the human future. Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris is a world leader in understanding and explaining how the scientific principles of biology and the evolution of living systems inform the operation of successful businesses. 

While initial interpretations of evolutionary biology focussed on conflict, competition and survival of the fittest, modern understandings of living systems recognise the importance of cooperation and collaboration as key to the energy efficient and sustainable relationships necessary to live and adapt in complex interconnected networks. 

As humans, we have developed and are immersed in cooperative and collaborative relationships and we perform best in environments in which these biological imperatives are recognised and supported. Dr Sahtouris will explain the importance of this as it applies to the world of business - human institution that can use the information to amplify and extend the positive global process of building a loving global family. She will present eight practical recommendations we can follow to make our businesses more successful and more fulfilling for the humans within them, using the self-same principles that have organized natural systems since the dawn of time.
