The Viral Change Partnership - A call to join a start up – could you help us to find the right people?

The Chalfont Project carves out Viral Change™ creating a separate dedicated LLP company. The timetable for the start up has started

Having pioneered Viral Change™ and created substantial market presence and implementation experience (www.viralchange.net) we have taken the decision within The Chalfont Project (www.thechalfontproject.com ) to create a new company exclusively dedicated to the expansion of Viral Change™ across industries and geographies.

The new company will be de facto a start up in the form of an LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) The majority partner will be The Chalfont Project but we are looking for a very small number of exceptional start up partners who can see this unique opportunity and are willing to take over our Viral Change™ IP assets, develop them, create business and share risk and profits with the rest of the partners.

Partners will be full time dedicated to The Viral Change Partnership LLP and will be directly responsible for its revenue growth, owning part of the new company in terms agreed in accordance with their contributions. If you know of anybody who is an exceptional professional with sufficient experience and gravitas to become a partner, please forward this email and ask him/her to get in touch with me at leandro-herrero@thechalfontproject.com so that I can share a more detailed information blueprint.

In parallel to this search for exceptional partners, The Viral Change Partnership will be setting up a selected number of associations with individuals or organisations which could not fit the exclusive time commitment but who however wish to establish a close and formal relationship with us. Please feel free to share this call as well with who may be interested

Innovactions changes behaviours into continuing innovation

London – June 3, 2009 - Innovation is back on the radar in many organizations, driven in part by recent movements such as ‘crowdsourcing’, open innovation and the wikinomic world. Interesting is that a lot of airtime is given to ‘processes for innovation’, which are focused on generating and capturing so-called ‘innovative ideas’.

In Innovactions, Leandro Herrero explains that capturing those ideas will only take your organization so far. “Processes and skills are indeed valuable,” he admits, “but creating an environment that is wide open to inquiry, curiosity and perpetual re-invention will ensure that innovation is no longer a word in your organization, but a behaviour. And not just any behaviour, but one that will lead your company to flourish.”

In this new book, the author focuses on analyzing the components that are needed to create a culture of innovation, with a heavy emphasis on what people do (or don’t do) to achieve (or miss) a goal. These innovative behaviours the author describes as ‘disruptive’, following the thread in his previous book Disruptive Ideas.

Debunking the myth that the capacity to innovate is allegedly connected to the size of the organization or the type of industry, Innovactions will appeal to any manager and leader interested in creating the socio-environmental conditions for innovation within their company. The simple management tools provided by the book will help them create a culture in which different forms and degrees of innovation can co-exist and flourish.

Leandro Herrero was a practicing psychiatrist for many years before holding senior leadership positions in top league business organizations. He is currently CEO of The Chalfont Project Ltd, an international group of organizational consultants, which he co-founded. His previous books include The Leader with Seven Faces, Viral Change, New Leaders Wanted – Now Hiring! and Disruptive Ideas, also published by meetingminds.

From Penny Power, founder of ecademy

Penny Power [ 25-May-09 8:47pm ] On 22nd May 2009 I shared the stage with Dr Herrero, I followed his talk. It was the most inspiring talk I have heard. his understanding of the new world and the need for mass behavioral change was articulated at a level that moved minds in the room. The time is now for Dr.Herrero, he is the perfect messenger for the people who fully understand what is actually happening in the Social Networking world. I feel honored to know him and hope that one day he will speak for us at our London Event.
