Does business need philosophical practice? Understanding the corporate experience (Presentation)

Maria Dmitrieva and Nikolai Khmyrov will talk about the fate of two corporate programs in philosophical practice: Think Broadly and Steadfast Mind. Let's discuss the following questions:

Where did the idea to offer philosophy for business come from?

To what extent is the business really interested in executives thinking more broadly?

Why does business need a philosophy?

Can a philosophy be necessary for an employee, but not unnecessary and even harmful for a company? And vice versa?
