Renown author, speaker and strategist, Nilofer Merchant, drops by the Leadership NOW show to discuss her latest venture, The Intangible Labs.

Launched in partnership with Tim Kastelle, The Intangible Labs offers a new lens, a mathematical model, and related practice so organizations (whether public, private, profit, non-profit, small, and large) can measure and thus tune the actions that create value for all their stakeholders.  

As the name suggests, the goal is to create many learning labs while the Intangible Labs will serve as a hub. Over time, insights will be codified into software, usable as an ESG standard. 

The Intangible Labs: defining the metrics of 21st Century Value Creation.

Nilofer is ranked as one of the top management thinkers in the world by @Thinkers50, as well as HR magazine., Her operating heft as a tech executive (Apple, Autodesk, goLive and more) lends all these big ideas fidelity; she's been personally involved in shipping over 100 products netting $18 Billion in revenues. She's authored three books on how value creation grows in distributed networks through shared purpose. 

Her most recent is the "Power of Onlyness,"  that spot in the world only you stand in, a function of your distinct history and experiences, visions and hopes for which she also landed the notable Future Thinker Award.  The very best companies hire her to inspire and advise. Those who want to do more than manage today but create—or rather co-create—the future.
