Henry Timms will discuss the ideas of his most recent work, with Jeremy Heimans: New Power: How Power Works in our Hyperconnected World—and How to Make it Work for You,featured as the Big Idea in the Harvard Business Review and by CNN as one of the ten top ideas to change the world in 2015. New Power has been called a “useful lens to create change” by Sir Richard Branson, and described as a book that “…will inform and inspire all” by Jane Goodall, the UN Messenger of Peace, and “a must-read… a gift for our movements” by Black Lives Matter co-founder, Alicia Garza. In this event, Henry will revisit the ideas of his book connecting them with recent political and socioeconomic developments in Europe, the US and Asia.
