We help leaders and consultants develop advanced communications, diagnostics, and mobilization skills for bringing a profound shift in their businesses. Join us in a weekly conversation with Mobilize! author Chauncey Bell on the bold work of building new practices.
At Mobilize.Network, entrepreneurs, engineers, managers, and ontological designers, mentors, and consultants learn communication, diagnostic, business design, sales, and mobilization skills for building successful companies and careers, and interact with a diverse global network.
The growing coordination wastes and bad moods in our enterprises and concerns about our abilities to deal with it, have moved us to establish this network.
We enable our members to build productive and powerful enterprises and work environments where people are passionate, joyful, and profoundly satisfied with serving their customers, serving each other and continuously engaged in improving the way they work together to create value.
We human beings have forgotten that we are continuing the work of our forebears, inventing our concerns, practices, institutions, and all else in our worlds. We are responsible for making assessments about the way that we care for our worlds. We are not merely the victims of our circumstances; to care is to be committed to prepare ourselves to do what we can to take care of what our worlds bring us.
We stand on the shoulders of giants. Our team, our partners, and our network is the secret ingredient behind our key successes. Our globally diverse people and partners come from our lifelong networks of collaborators. We have worked together for decades on confronting crucial business challenges, designing remarkable innovations, and building and launching technology products and platforms.
Chauncey began this part of his career more than 40 years ago, designing and implementing operating models and systems for better orchestration of work in enterprises. More than 30 years ago, Chauncey met Fernando Flores, whose work had been inspired by Martin Heidegger, Stafford Beer, John L. Austin, John Searle, Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela, and others. The two became friends and began a long collaboration that has included starting and running Action Technologies, Inc., Business Design Associates, Inc., Hermenet, Inc., and LogoNet, Inc. Notable collaborators of theirs have included Terry Winograd, Juan Ludlow, Hubert Dreyfus, James Gosling, and Peter Denning. The practices and technologies invented in those companies would be used in growing clients' businesses, sometimes to multinational giants, and some of what they invented has found its way into the fundamentals of modern management sciences and practices.
Saqib began his career 20 years ago at Microsoft and later launched several of his own entrepreneurial ventures. He had been searching for ways to conceptualize and build communication protocols and applications to improve business conditions, in the US and Asia. In 2006 Saqib met Chauncey. The Harvester Initiative began as an ongoing collaboration between Chauncey and Saqib, to inquire into the challenges businesses face in the 21st century, and explore new possibilities available for the application of Chauncey's past work, in emerging enterprises.
We established Harvester Academy in 2015 to introduce to the business world new skills, sensibilities, and technologies that enable people and enterprises to create powerful new futures. In 2021, Andy McBride, Michele Gazolo, Laurie Stacy-Dent, and Susie Cantor joined the team. We changed our name and established The Mobilize Network.
