Join us on August 18th to gain insight and tips from Vern Dosch, a talented business leader in our Conscious Capitalism community ❯❯

How I Learned the Power of Conscious Capitalism for Organizational Success

Going Beyond Corporate Social Responsibility

One of the greatest challenges in a very competitive business environment is the task of differentiating our product offering and culture, while building our customer base and attracting / retaining the talent required to successfully operate our business.

For the past 45 years, Vern Dosch, as President and CEO of the National Information Solutions Cooperative (NISC), has taken a path less traveled. Rather than being singularly focused on increasing shareholder / stakeholder wealth, he has approached the hyper-competitive technology business by focusing on building a culture of Conscious Capitalism by embracing Servant Leadership.

NISC is a 45-year case study validating the strength and effectiveness of Conscious Capitalism.  NISC went from being a struggling technology startup with negative equity to a $300 million industry leader, garnering 50% of the market share in the U.S. utility, telecommunication and broadband industries. 

Join Vern as he takes you on his career journey, from a simple business idea to a technology powerhouse, competing head-to-head daily, with technology giants like SAP and Oracle.
