From Sandra Waddock, Intellectual Shamans:

Mirvis has made a career of being what he calls a gadfly and a raconteur or story teller. In one sense, the intellectual shaman as sensemaker/spiritual leader is always on what the great mythologist Joseph Campbell would have called a quest. Perhaps it is that constant questing—for new ideas, information, connections—that explains the insatiable curiosity that seems to characterize the intellectual shamans. Phil Mirvis is someone who has both written about consciousness-raising in executives and is always on a quest for interesting new experiences 

From Tojo Thatchenkery & Param Srikantia, Change Thinkers

His work is an invitation to organizational change practitioners to expand their creativity in leveraging dramaturgy and the performing arts more powerfully in their work even while seeking to unravel the mystery of organizational change through the metaphor of change as theater. Mirvis has dedicated his life to discovering the hidden life forces that give vitality and momentum to human organizing when the constraints of rationality, rigid bureaucracy and mechanistic thinking are transcended. 

Prof Mirvis will present a keynote on ‘Designing Experiences’ on Friday 2nd September at 5.15pm
