CNBN Stakeholder Learning Process: Fundamental to Chevy’s Collaborative Innovation

“Radical collaboration is what’s needed now. The world is made up of folks who know far more than you – and their contributions together add up to far more reach and impact than any company could achieve on its own.”

“Empowering Sue Hall to manage their stakeholder dialogue process was central to Chevy’s success. It takes a leader to pull the people together in this way.”
“There was openness in the process that was essential to make this kind of transformative leadership happen …”
“… and, as a result, empowering and open to learning and innovation!”
“no preconceived ideas about outcomes” .. “very unusual”
“Chevy asked such open ended questions in response to really big challenges -- to shape so creatively what could then be achieved”
“Chevy’s extremely ambitious goals goals created a great sand box – into which they then invited us all to play.”
“Chevy’s stakeholder process was a core bedrock”
