Business is now expanding in the global market and business globalization has become a common factor in the modern era in the corporate business scenario. It results in diversity in the workplace. The diverse organizational culture creates a new term conscious culture in the organization. A conscious culture is a cultural awareness that aims to build trust between culturally diverse stakeholders and other stakeholders of an organization. A conscious culture is a human behavior that is expected and accepted within organizations. This paper aims to prepare professional workshop outlines for the mentioned topic. At first, it will deliver an idea about conscious capitalism along with the four segments of conscious capitalism and its role in the global corporate scenario.

Aspects of Conscious Capitalism in Global Corporation Management

A conscious culture is holding another sub-branch conscious capitalism which is observed in the current economic system and organizational practices to achieve success. Conscious capitalism builds up an organizational system that enables global corporate businesses to think beyond the profitability and growth of the market and focus on business practices. Conscious capitalism is helpful in the development of scopes in economic stability towards better business practices. It broadens the path for business practices to connect with global stakeholders to foster economic growth and sustainability in the global market. Conscious capitalism includes four stages in the development of conscious culture. These four stages are discussed below.

• Higher Purpose: A higher purpose is the thinking beyond profit generation and shareholders' value. It is an exceptional act that an organization tries to adopt to make something different. It is observed that purpose creates an opportunity for the shareholders and the organization to have an extraordinary engagement. A higher purpose always improves the engagement of the shareholders with the organization to make opportunities for embracing changes. The purpose should be addressed before formulating any strategy.
• Stakeholder Orientation: Stakeholders of a business entity impact or are directly impacted by the business. Conscious leaders always give priority to all the stakeholders rather than focusing on the shareholders to think beyond profit. Stakeholders contribute to the business by embracing global factors to build cultural consciousness. The conscious culture looks for an opportunity to value the creation of individual stakeholders by creating harmony between all the stakeholders.
• Conscious Leadership: Conscious leadership is a leader's primary responsibility to create value for the business and attain the interests of all shareholders. Conscious leaders show the path which other employees follow to achieve success. They foster loyalty and ensure that every team member is following global business trends to achieve high performance. Leadership style is important in enhancing cultural intelligence. Conscious leaders make positive differences in the business parameter.
• Conscious Culture: A conscious culture is a source of great strength and stability for the business and ensures that the purpose and the core values are endured within the speculated time. It is the principle where conscious capitalism fills business value and provides cooperation with the stakeholders of the organization. Conscious culture creates social, cultural, intellectual, physical, ecological and emotional value with financial performance for the long-term.

Therefore, the above aspects need to be attended by specific activities and workshop outlines because this will help in delivering the idea about the conscious culture.

Activity for Each Topic

Each aspect of the above section will include some specific activities and this will give a clear picture of the activities of the workshop related to the subject. Specific allocation of the activities will showcase a detailed idea about the outcomes of the workshop along with the strategies to perform the activities to meet the set objectives. The activity of each topic is given below.

Therefore, these above activities mentioned for each aspect of conscious capitalism in terms of building conscious culture are considered to be effective. These aspects are effective in terms of managing any kind of unpleasant situation within global organizations. These have the potential to identify future opportunities. 

Role of Instructor

The role of the instructor cannot be overlooked to achieve the key purpose of the workshop and perform the entire activities without any obstacle. The instructor will play a major role in this professional development workshop. The instructor will lead the group members and instruct them on how to complete the activities successfully with achieving the objectives and learning outcomes of the workshop. Significantly, the instructor can identify any challenges and offer solutions to the challenges.

Target Audience for the Workshop

The professional development workshop targets the audience who are related to corporate businesses like corporate organizations and global marketing teams of the organizations. The segmentation aims to build awareness regarding conscious culture and its importance to them. The target audiences for the workshop are consumers, employees of corporate organizations.

Methods to Facilitate the Activities

The methods are identified to give an idea about how the workshop activities will be done. At first, the group will be formed with the interested management students and management professionals who need to understand the subject. The groups will consist of 4 members in each group. Different activities will be provided to 4 members of the two groups and they will attain these four aspects. All the group members need to select the same brand to identify the four aspects. The group members will also find out the challenges for the brand for building a conscious culture. 

Barriers to the Successful Implementation of the Activities

The barriers to the successful implementation of the activities are as followed.

• The inability of the group members to understand the purpose of the workshop activities.
• Inability to cope up with the chosen methods for performing the activities.
• Lack of knowledge to identify the chosen brand’s high purpose and its contribution.
• Conflicts between the instructor and the group members.

The Diversity of the Activities to Suit the Varied Personalities of the Target Audience

Part 2: Reflective Summary

Organizational culture is one of the important pillars of every organization. The concept of culture includes a sub-branch- conscious capitalism. Conscious capitalism enhances the economic stability of an organization along with providing growth opportunities. The conscious culture and the aspects of its sub-branch enhance economic possibilities.

This workshop can help organizations to identify how a brand image can attract customers and help to achieve sustainability in the global market scenario. The brand of every organization has the potential to provide future profitability.

This activity has been conducted to achieve better knowledge about conscious culture and its importance in the global market scenario. All the activities are done in such a way so that the coming challenges and barriers can be faced and overcome with proper measurements. I think, the most common barrier of the workshop was the inability of the group members to understand the purpose of the workshop. This could be handled by properly motivating the group members. Moreover, I have achieved my goals which I hoped to accomplish through the workshop.
