Vision
The goal of the mind, meditation and management conference was to frame the current state of the science in such a way as to enable academic practice within the transformation, awareness, intent of self-ecosystem, and how such inquiries feed into a general management with specific emphasis on leadership and innovation discourse.
The conference explored research, practice and discourses around meditative and contemplative techniques and its proposed impact “creating opportunities for transformation of the self through both self-reflection and engagement in a diverse and dynamic learning community”, focusing on exploring the link between transformational path and the motivation to invest in the self.
Mission
The conference explored how meditative and contemplative techniques sharpen the individual’s attention to intent and the ability to be perceptive towards understanding and sensitive to transformative opportunities. The conference proposed to shift the focus from the action of the actor, which is external to self, to studying the foundation of intent in the mind or within the self, how it affects social skills, and sense of transforming self.
The conference aimed to achieve sustained exposure to contemplative techniques which it surmises; improves opportunity perception as well as attention to detail, empathy, and sensitivity beyond the horizon of rent seeking action.
