What Your Colleagues Are Saying

"Growing up around the ages of 16-17 you feel that your ideas and your opinions don't really make a difference and don't matter. But coming to a conference like this—where there are people from all around the world who have jobs in medicine, consulting, and education—and being able to express your feelings, your opinions, and your thoughts on leadership and what's going in the world today AND have them care about what you say is truly amazing."
—Student, Guajome Park Academy, Student Business & Leadership Team

"The Pegasus Conference provides fertile ground for people from around the globe to come together and embrace the challenge of new ways to lead, share learnings, tools and insights. I left with a profound feeling for the potential that is reshaping corporate thinking - bringing it to a new level whereby employees, shareholders, customers, partners and the planet can all win. Pegasus deepened my leadership journey."
—Gerard Harkin, Philips Lighting

“The Pegasus Conference is my only must-attend conference during the year. I always learn something. That value-added of always discovering something new makes the conference unique and energizing—it really gets my juices flowing.”
—Alvin Johnson, director of HR and leadership, Hampton City Schools, Hampton, Virginia

“In my 30 years in healthcare, this conference and last year’s conference have been the best of my career.”
—Jane Moore, Bassett Healthcare

"We will be using the video of Peter Senge's talk on interdependence as a starting point for our next GulfSoL event; the theme is so relevant to the oil business. Not a day goes by in Saudi Arabia that one of the conversations I had at the conference doesn't come back to me and then come forward in a new conversation in some threaded form. Is there anything more important at this juncture in history than an awareness of a need to embrace diversity? It is not a matter of being open-minded; it is a matter of survival."
—James Davidson, Saudi Aramco

“Wonderful people at the conference, accessible presenters — everyone is an active learner with the spirit of sharing.”
—Alice Warner, program director, W.K. Kellogg Foundation

"If you're looking for a community of thought leaders to explore systems thinking that reveals the profound reality of our world, then the annual Systems Thinking in Action Conference is the place for you. The diversity of attendees, presenters, and applications I've encountered every year brings me back for more."
—Bill Bellows, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne

“I always have such appreciation for Pegasus’s craftsmanship in putting together this event. You can create this space only when you’re trying to live in a certain way on an ongoing basis. A real hallmark is that people who are here for the first time feel very much welcomed and included just as if they had been here for half a dozen previous times. And I think that’s really special.”
—Peter Senge

"I have found my people! Because of my previous mental models about how one applies principles and tools, I couldn't 'get' how to use Systems Thinking. I kept looking at it as a 'solution generator,' instead of a way of describing an issue and a way of investing in trust—trust that those talking about the issue together can find a solution. There is no silver bullet, but there is a silver lining—working together, we can accomplish amazing things. See you in 2006!"
—Peg Carlson-Bowen, 2005 Conference Participant

"I think it’s essential for businesses to send people to this conference. And it is all about business. But it’s not about the superficial or transactional things that we tend to concentrate on in our balance sheets and our quarterly reports. It’s about the more fundamental work of deciding what the business is about and how we’re going to go about doing it well."
—Martha McGinnis, Visual Logic (formerly of Colonial Pipeline)

“I was moved many times by how this conference is able to meet the wide variety of needs of the participants—across country, race, industries, and professions. The systemic approach of the conference—that we’re all in this together—really comes across.”
—Norman Dur Hinger, assistant professor, Illinois State University

“An absolutely amazing experience. I loved learning new perspectives and thinking about how to apply them in my business. The community of systemic thinkers is very special indeed.”
—Chris Corless, Inco Ltd

“This conference has been a wonderful experience. I will come back and recommend to my group that we come as a team.”
—Steven Larson, VP, senior OD consultant, Wachovia Corporation

“Two things make this conference different from others. One is that when you come to the conference you are alone, and the moment the conference starts, you are part of the community. That makes a difference. And the other is that every session I go to I take one or more crucial insights out and those insights, for me, are the deliverables of the conference.”
—Rob Schaerlaeckens, Business Development Manager, Unilever Bestfoods, Vietnam

"It's a privilege to be with people who are so thoughtful about changing the world, in a very practical way. At lots of conferences you can learn good things, but here there is a commonality of care for each other and this planet which is really rich. It's constructive, it's informed, and it's deep and purposeful—and I haven't seen that at any other conference."
—John Schaffter, Internal Management Consultant, City of Toronto Corporate Services

The result is an astounding inside look at the event, the experience, the people, and the remarkable skill and intelligence hey bring to changing their organizations.
