Announcing:

A dedicated team, led by Naples resident Robert Porter Lynch, is beginning the process of forming the
 Naples Institute for Collaborative Innovation, Leadership, & Entrepreneurship (NICILE).

The formation of NICILE is the result of 30 years of design, development and field testing of a holistic system of organizational and leadership “architectures” that hold the potential to shift the fundamental way business is thought about, conducted, and produces results for this century.

WHY NAPLES, FLORIDA?

Purpose: The way of the future for the majority of businesses today will be along the path of creating collaborations in every dimension of their business. The biggest winners will companies that create value, not those transact or exchange value. Companies that engage adversarially with suppliers, customers, and   employees will be either obsolete or severely disadvantaged in the marketplace.

We intend to provide the critical Thought Leadership, Mindsets, Design Architectures, Skillsets, Empirical Research, and Capability Building to enable leaders to transform their organizations and take front-stage in the competitive landscape.

Value Created: After years of research, field testing, and development, we have found that collaborative systems have a 25-30% competitive advantage over other forms of businesses.

We expect to translate this competitive advantage into 25-30% increases in innovation, revenues, and profits in the typical company that uses our methods.

A Place for Collaborative Thought Leaders and Business Leaders to Join Forces

The Naples Institute will be a focal point for those who have pioneered in collaborative systems to develop and transfer capabilities, expand their reach, provide empirical “real- world” data, and shift the thinking of corporate leaders to produce extraordinary results. Our activity will include the realms of:

• Collaborative Innovation
• Collaborative Leadership
• Collaborative Entrepreneurship
• Collaborative Supply Chain Management
• Collaborative Lean Management
• Collaborative Construction Management
• Collaborative Negotiations
• Collaborative Contracting
• Collaborative Capitalism
• Collaborative Competition (Co-opetition)
• Economics & Metrics of Collaboration
• High Performance Teamwork
• Organizational Trust Building
• Organizational Transformation
• Strategic Alliances
• Designing Game-Changing Breakthroughs
• Managing Value Networks & Eco-Systems
• Investing in Companies with Collaborative Advantage

How NICILE came into being:

Starting in 1984, the Institute’s Founder, Robert Porter Lynch, began a formal quest to find an “organizational design architecture” (a system with best practices, methodologies, metrics, principles, governance processes, etc.) that would bring different people and organizations together to produce synergistic results.

Over the last twenty years, driven by global forces and the internet, the nature of business now requires a far better grasp of collaboration as an underpinning of leadership, innovation, and value creation.

Over the last three decades, this quest has produced a highly effective set of interrelated “architectures” that have proven to produce extraordinary results in real-world business.

This evolution began with the creation of a now-globally preeminent system for creating strategic alliances, which then enabled a powerful architecture of collaborative innovation, underpinned by a fundamental breakthrough in trust building & high performance teamwork. The next stage was to develop an economic model for collaboration, and finally a leadership framework to engage and operationalize the collaborative systems architecture.

After years of empirical field research, pilot project analysis, refinement in real-world operational implementations, and building capabilities with over 40,000 senior executives and managers, we are now committed to coalescing a team of senior executives, thought leaders, and “pracademics” together in Naples Florida to empower like-minded business leaders to:

• Build a Business World You Can Trust, while at the same time
• Producing Significantly Superior Competitive Advantage.

We will transfer our Best Practice Capability Building to your company’s leadership team.  

Naples has the highest concentration of retired senior executives in the country. Many have the experience and wisdom to have a vital impact on future leaders. By pairing seasoned executives with highly effective thought leaders and “pracademics,” we can create a powerful capability-building combination to empower rising leaders.

It's imperative to understand cooperative systems architectures because future leaders will either be part of an collaborative network or competing with one. Many  would have  been saved from financial hardship, frustration, and even failure, had they had access to this information.
