- **Event Description**: Eric Ries is an entrepreneur and author whose new work asks: what does it take for institutions to last?About this EventThe Long Now Foundation welcomesEric RiesAttend the  in-person or via our Mix and mingle over drinks and small bites with other attendees at our pre &amp; post-show gathering in the re-imagined Cowell Theater Lobby!While the corporation, profit maximization, and financial systems feel immutable, all of our commercial and civic infrastructure is invented by us — and it can be reinvented. Eric Ries, building on his upcoming book, Incorruptible, will talk about how founders and leaders can build incorruptible organizations that will last for decades and tangibly support human flourishing.Today's organizational design choices will either become tomorrow's liberating structures or inherited constraints. How do we architect accountability mechanisms that outlive their creators? What governance structures remain resilient across generations of technological, economic, and cultural transformation? Ries will explore how building for incorruptibility requires imagining not just the organization we need today, but the institutions that future generations will thank us for creating.This conversation-style Long Now Talk will be facilitated by Denise Hearn, Long Now Director of Strategic Partnerships.Why This Talk Matters NowRies’ work arrives at a moment when leaders are searching for alternatives to systems that reward corruption, concentration, and short-term wins. We have the urgent responsibility to shape our collective future in ways that are accountable and aligned with human flourishing.The Long ViewThis talk situates organizational design within the tradition of long-term thinking, asking: how do we build structures that remain legible, trustworthy, and adaptive long after the founders are gone? By exploring incorruptibility as a design principle, this conversation will propose the building blocks for enabling institutional responsibility across generations.Learn MoreWATCH Ries’s 02020 Talk The Long-Term Stock ExchangeREAD more about organizational continuity and long-lived institutions on IdeasLISTEN to Ries’s podcast episode with Long Now alum Tim O’Reilly https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/79e5c6a0-0988-11f1-b6c3-c3694e9a4e40-rimg-w1200-h427-dcffffff-gmir.jpg Over the last two decades, Eric Ries’s ideas about continuous innovation, long-term thinking, governance, and market reform have reshaped company building and management practices.

                "description": "Our mission atThe Long Now Foundationis to foster long-term thinking and responsibility. Recognizing that many problems of global magnitude can be traced back to a lack of long-term perspective, we offer a counterpoint to today’s pervasive “faster and cheaper” mindset. Through a variety of creative programs that bring arts and culture into dialogue with science and technology, we try to show that the theme of “slower and better” is an especially effective guide to help us generate ideas and insights that will benefit society within the framework of the next 10,000 years.By encouraging thought and conversation about what might be in store for us in the next century, the next millennium, and the next geological era, The Long Now Foundation ultimately tries to expand our collective sense of the present moment: rather than focus only on the immediate “here and now,” we encourage people to become aware of theBig Hereand theLong Now."
