Join us for the LILA Summit

This year at LILA we have been exploring the theme of Navigating the Cs of Change—Members have been applying emerging insights to critical initiatives inside their organizations—rethinking leadership, designing future-ready systems, and shaping strategy for uncertain times. Specifically, we have looked at how organizations can transform conceptions, develop new capacities, and shift complex systems to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. Drawing on emerging research from social psychology, political science, ecology, and organizational studies, we have examined how to shift deeply held mindsets, foster the skills needed for adaptive leadership, and influence large-scale systems of work.
