Abstract

There are opportunities for management services practitioners to participate in individual and collective activities to confront shared existential challenges facing mankind by: helping people to review, re-purpose, re-invent and change direction; supporting them during transitions and transformation journeys to more sustainable and inclusive business and operating models; and by inspiring creativity and being creative, encouraging innovation and being innovative, and supporting entrepreneurship and being entrepreneurial. In all these areas, whether working alone or with others, there may be opportunities for IMS Measurement Practitioners, IMS Productivity Analysts and different levels of IMS membership, including involvement in multi-organisational teams and collective activities as supply chain and collaborative responses are explored, implemented and operated. With so many possibilities and people needing to adopt more sustainable lifestyles, one need never be too old to seize opportunities to advise, coach, mentor or otherwise help others.
