Ly enables individuals and executives to become “Zenterprisers’, a term she coined to describe a new type of leader who can harness the complexities of this next revolution in human interactions in the highly mobile, interactive and global environment. Zenterprisers are those who know how to bring the traditional enterprise to the next level, “zenterprises,” which have a new sustainable competitive edge from experiential knowledge created through the global human interactions at the speed of local interactions.
