Networking Club - Dorchester - 1 September 2008

The topic of this event was Inspiration. We work hard, we fill our hours with the things our organisations need us to get done – we would all recognise the ‘perspiration’ element of the workplace. However, how often are we inspired at work or by work? For some, this may be a feature of our jobs but for others we tend to not to associate inspiration with work. What would happen if our staff were truly inspired – by the work they do, by a manager or leader, by a colleague, by something our organisation does or by themselves? Would inspiration unlock potential? Bring about innovation? Increase motivation? Would we prefer to work somewhere that’s inspiring?

This network event focused on inspiration at work and looked at one key question – what inspires people at work and how can we get some of it? We explored broad topics such as inspirational leadership, unleashing innovation and making sure our organisations ‘do good’. We considered how we can use these ideas to improve the performance of our organisations and of course, looked at instances where organisations have got this very right and very wrong!
