Montréal: Exploring a City's Passion and Compassion
– an embodied learning experience
This PDW will run from 11:30am to 6:00pm on Sunday August 8th, 2010
ABSTRACT
For this year's theme of passion and compassion, this PDW invites participants to explore Montreal's for-profit and non-profit sectors as a city tour. Participants will interact directly with organizational leaders embedding passion and compassion into their organizational cultures, structures, products, and services. We will learn directly from these organizations what it means to translate passion and compassion into their organizations. We will build from these experiences, to discuss what we as scholars can learn from these types of organizations and apply to our own research and theorizing.
We will visit with and 'live in' their realities for a short while – observing, participating, and becoming part of their organizations. While doing so, we will meet with key managers and leaders of these organizations to learn more about how they engage in their respective missions and learn what success means on their terms. We will also meet with members of their communities directly to learn about their perspectives of these organizations and the impact of these organizations on their lives. We will then discuss and reflect on these experiences and jointly explore what these and other non-traditional organizations can teach us about our own theorizing of organizations and of managing with passion and compassion. Our PDW begins at the conference site but will be conducted throughout the city and will include some amount of walking. Please dress in comfortable shoes and clothes. Participation is limited to 20. Please contact the organizers to pre-register: Raymond Paquin – rpaquin@jmsb.concordia.ca
