The purpose of this website is to be a resource for creating a common understanding of Globalcitizenship and to create a value network of individuals and organizations who believe that individuals and organizations have the holistic responsibility for Human and Economic Development. We are aware that such organizations are few and by connecting globally perhaps we can encourage each other and organizations to become prototypes of Human and Economic development with a commitment to global community. Websites for several organizations who are part of this value network are linked here.

What are the characteristics of a global citizen?


In a metaphorical tree a global citizen is deeply rooted in his native culture yet the branches are spreading out in the world expressing an openness and a desire to coexist with other trees and begins in an ecological balance. Tree offers a lot to the world in fruits, shades, seeds, and life sustainability by converting Carbon di Oxide into Oxygen.

Dinesh Chandra founded Globalcitezenship Inc. , leveraging on his extensive global network which spans the US and Asia and in strategic partnerships with Integral Performance Group, Walnut Creek, CA, Collaborative Stategies LLC, San Fransisco, Ca, LTITL in Mumbai, Polaris Lab in Chennai and CWL in Bangalore, the silicon city of India and in Softopia, Japan. 
 

Prior to this, he started Global Quality Inc., a firm specializing in Organizational Transformation in 1992. He has worked with leading organizations in Building Learning Communities. Although trained as an engineer, Dinesh soon learned that the key, to successful implementation of the new technology, was the people using the new system and consequently developed a keen interest into the human aspect. His state of the art knowledge of how to integrate technologies with the human side has led to his success as a consultant in the U.S., U.K., France, Canada, India, Singapore, Jamaica, Bahamas, Barbados, Trinidad, Brazil and other parts of the globe where he has consulted for the last fifteen years. He facilitates 'Executive Retreats' and also conducts 'Transformational Leadership' workshop, with a focus on integration of cognitive, emotional, physical and spiritual sides, for business leaders in several countries. Recent article "Dharamshala Dreaming: A traveler's search for the meaning of work" in the 'Insights on Leadership' published by John Wiley & Sons describes that experience.

As former Director of Productivity for Coulter Corporation, he served as Internal Consultant and was credited with their turn around in the face of stiff Japanese competition in the late eighties. As Project Director for the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) he lead Coulter teams around the globe. Since then, he has worked with hundreds of teams helping them develop strategic visions and plans, develop collaboration and partnerships and redesign their work processes. Over the last few years his work has also included community building and the facilitation of corporations' process to become learning organizations. His most recent articles entitled "Beyond Ego to Wisdom: the Eicher Experience" and "One Bank's Experience" have appeared in the anthologies, Learning Organizations: Developing Cultures for Tomorrows Workplace and Community Building: Renewing Spirit and Learning in Business.
