April 7th : Incorruptible by Design – Long Now Talk with Eric Ries

All of our commercial and civic infrastructure is invented by us — and it can be reinvented.

Join the conversation as Denise Hearn, Long Now Director of Strategic Partnerships, speaks with Eric Ries on his upcoming book, Incorruptible, about how founders and leaders can build incorruptible organizations that will ‘last for decades and tangibly support human flourishing’.

Today’s organizational design choices will either become tomorrow’s liberating structures or inherited constraints. In this Long Now Talk, Hearn and Reis will examine the question of how founders and leaders can design organizational structures that last for decades and tangibly support human flourishing. How do we architect accountability mechanisms that outlive their creators? What governance structures remain resilient across generations of technological, economic, and cultural transformation? Ries will explore how building for incorruptibility requires imagining not just the organization we need today, but the institutions that future generations will thank us for creating.

Attend the Long Now Talks in person or via their livestream.
