In her new book, Judy Samuelson describes “the profound shifts in attitudes and mindsets that are redefining our notions of what constitutes business success.”
Held in partnership with Georgetown University’s Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation, our March 2021 Salon will feature the author in conversation with DC Co-Ambassador Nate Wong, FRSA as they unpack the motivations behind and implications of Judy’s new book The Six New Rules of Business: Creating Real Value in a Changing World. Myriad crises are converging to make these new rules even more salient to the business world today: the state of our climate; the effects of artificial intelligence on the workforce; the reckoning with economic exclusion, racism, and inequality; the shift from shareholder to stakeholder capitalism; and more. Join us for an interactive and hard-hitting conversation.

RSA US Virtual Salons occur on the fourth Thursday of each month; they aim to create open dialogue and a space for RSA US Fellows to connect across geography over the issues of our times. Join a Salon to get to know other RSA US Fellows and our interests, passions, and perspectives. Salons are supported through the moderation of a volunteer to ensure that a diversity of voices are heard. We invite all Fellows to join this discussion to deepen the ways we can connect with each other across the country!
