What happens when you mix football coaches and software engineers? Detectives and dancers? When successful minds from different fields come together, remarkable lessons and “aha moments” happen. Join us at the Lounging Series to learn how local organizations learn from each other to find creative solutions to their most challenging problems.
“The Gang” is a group of eight high performing, highly creative organizations based in Boise. They range from the Boise State Football program to Healthwise, the Ada County Sheriff’s Office and ProClarity/Microsoft, as well as The Gang members lounging with you. The leaders and members of these creative and successful organizations hold an annual Gang Meeting and the leaders meet periodically during the year to discuss “messy problems” they face.
They solve problems by mixing ideas from across fields, disciplines and industries to learn from each other and discover new solutions. Their overall goal: to help Boise build an economy that thrives on creativity and innovation. Napier’s two most recent books, sold around the world, highlight these organizations as key case studies.
Join BYP as we Lounge with The Gang. Connect with proven leaders and emerging young professionals. Listen to the success stories of local businesses and organizations. Have fun. Learn something new. Engage in the conversation.
Nancy Napier’s new book Insight: Encouraging Aha! Moments for Organizational Success features many stories from “The Gang.” Her book will be available for sale at the BYP Lounging with “The Gang” event at a special price of $25 for BYP members ($10 off the retail price).
