Thinkers50 Podcast: Ricardo Vargas

Thinkers50’s Stuart Crainer interviews Ricardo Vargas, Executive Director of the Brightline Initiative, about why we need to be aware of the gap between new business ideas and their implementation.

Vargas speaks to the need for urgency when you want to create lasting change. Why, in times of crisis, he asks, are people able to accomplish so much, but in normal times no transformations happen?

He also discusses the People Manifesto, Brightline’s initiative that helps people to understand how to transform organizations. The four essential points of the manifesto include questions around leadership, collaboration, culture, and interest.

Ricardo Vargas is currently the Executive Director of the Brightline Initiative™, a coalition of leading global organizations from business, government and not for profit sectors, including the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the Project Management Institute (PMI) and the Agile Alliance.
