Cynthia Scott, co-author of
“Getting Your Organization to Change”, joins host Nancy Lin on the “Business
Reinvention” Show
Voice America Talk Radio
Network, the internet audio and video broadcasting pioneer, announced today
that the nationally acclaimed author, Cynthia Scott will join Nancy Lin, host
of Business Reinvention on the VoiceAmerica Business Channel ( www.voiceamerica.com/show/2051/business-reinvention)
Monday, March 5, at 4 p.m. Pacific Time. Cynthia Scott, the former VP of Organization Strategy at Saatchi and Saatchi, and the current Faculty Director for the Presidio Graduate School’s Executive Programs, will discuss her pilot program at Walmart. While at Saatchi and Saatchi, Scott helped Walmart launch the ambitious Zero-Waste program to eliminate landfill waste generated by its U.S. operations by 2025. Since the pilot program, Walmart has surprised many of its skeptics with impressive results.
In 2010, Walmart reduced the plastic bag waste across its
global operations by 47.95 million pounds, or approximately 3.5 billion bags.
This represented a 21 percent reduction from the company’s 2007 baseline. In
California, the company eliminated more than 80% of the waste from their
operations that would have gone to landfills.
Driving change throughout an organization can be complex. At least 70% of all change initiatives fail not because of market forces, but because issues related to people. This segment of Business Reinvention will explore how Cynthia Scott’s pilot program capitalized on Walmart’s corporate culture and helped the giant retailer empower its employees to drive change. Cynthia will share with the audience how to make the topic of sustainability personal by volunteer work and through personal immersion. She will discuss how to create a ripple effect throughout an organization in order to enact change.
For 25 years, Scott has helped leaders build innovative and engaging work environments. Her background in leadership development has helped her to create large-scale cultural and behaviorial change throughout organizations like Walmart, Wellpoint, Capital One, Charles Schwab, AT&T, Estee Lauder, and IBM.
Cynthia is the co-author of eleven books: Making Sustainable Change, Agility: Fast Feedback Leadership, Take This Job and Love it, Getting Your Organization to Change, Empowerment, Rekindling Commitment, Navigating Change, Organizational Mission, Vision and Values, The Values Edge and Self Renewal. Reports of her work have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and the Stanford Business School Newsletter. Scott earned her B.A. in Anthropology, M.P.H. in Health Planning and Administration and her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology.
The program will provide a rare glimpse into Wal Mart’s sustainability initiative. It offers valuable insights for business leaders and community members who are looking for ways to create large-scale change throughout their organization.
