Business as Unusual Seminar
Pre Conference Jerusalem Tour
Beginning in 2002, the In2:InThinking Network
(www.in2in.org) has hosted an annual 5-day
Forum in Los Angeles which is targeted at leaders
at all levels of organizations, with a focus on
revisiting the foundations of teamwork, the
connecting force of all organizations. A reliance
on working together is fundamental to both
solving problems and preventing problems,
and the ability to “do more with less,” in all
organizations, whether public or private, for-profit
or non-profit. Presented through an exciting
partnership between PCMI and the In2:InThinking
Network, this seminar reveals blind spots to
teamwork that form the foundation of “Business
as Usual” and presents fundamental concepts
and strategies for shifting organizations to the
incomparable status of “Unusual.”
This program will provide conference attendees
with the chance to enjoy a private full day tour
of Jerusalem, combining elements from the
following tours:
The
Three
Religions
of
Jerusalem
Since the days of King Davis, Jerusalem has been a
religious and spiritual center unlike any other. This
tour will reveal why the city remains so important
to the three monotheistic religions: Judaism,
Christianity and Islam. Walking through the Old
City alleys, you will sense day to day life, as well
as the heritage left us from antiquity.
Seminar Objective: The objective of this seminar
is to demonstrate and explore the unlimited
potential of “Business as Unusual,” with a very
practical focus on how we think, learn, and work
together.
Via Dolorosa
The “Via Dolorosa”, Latin
for “Way of Suffering”,
marks the route Christ
walked carrying his
cross on the way to his
crucifixion, and it includes
14 stations along the
path. The tour will finish
at the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher.
Who should attend? Anyone who is concerned
about improving the effectiveness of individuals
and organizations will gain from this workshop
and leave with new and deeper knowledge, and
new connections to others.
Banquet and Group Networking Dinners
Attendees will join together
for the annual grand banquet
on Monday evening and for a
group networking dinner on
Tuesday night.
The road itself is a lively street in the old city of
Jerusalem dating back to the Roman city Aelia
Capitolina. Like the rest of the Holy City, every
generation left its mark on the Via Dolorosa, so as
you walk this special street, you will weave in and
out of Christ’s story.
The restaurants have not been confirmed, but will
be within walking distance of the hotel.
This is an emblematic experience of Jerusalem!
