You don’t need to wait for an Employee Ownership (EO) transition to start building a culture of ownership. This interactive session explores how EO companies foster ownership mindsets and shares practical strategies for engagement, accountability, and shared leadership.
Donna Sky from Project Equity will provide an overview of EO benefits, readiness factors, and its value as an exit strategy and resilience tool. Leaders from employee-owned B Corps, including King Arthur Baking Company, PixelSpoke, and Ocaquatics, will share lessons from their EO journeys during a panel discussion. Participants will also engage in a hands-on activity and group discussion to identify actionable steps for cultivating an ownership culture. Attendees will leave with real-world examples and practical takeaways.
By the end of the session, participants will:
- Understand the key components of what it means to build a culture of ownership, with or without an official employee ownership structure
- Learn practical strategies to increase engagement, accountability, and employee voice
- Hear real-world lessons from B Corps who have put employee ownership models into practice
- Identify actionable steps to start building ownership culture immediately
