Social Transformation Lab

Description

"Human civilization must undergo a radical transformation of unprecedented scale. This will require nothing short of a rapid, profound transformation in the paradigms of thought that underpin all of our social and economic systems. At the Presencing Institute, we characterize this transformation as an evolution from “ego-system awareness” (making decisions based on what’s best for my team / organization / community), to “eco-system awareness” (making decisions based on what’s best for the whole system, knowing my team / organization / community will benefit, too).

How to facilitate this transformation in social systems, rapidly and at an unprecedented scale,is the number one leadership challenge of our time.

The Societal Transformation Lab is designed to help teams, organizations and larger networks facilitate this shift in their stakeholder systems. Participating teams whose work relates to one of the key acupuncture points for societal transformation will join a four-month, online and offline innovation journey that includes rapid-cycle prototyping, systems mapping and global action research network for knowledge sharing. By the end of the journey, participants will have created new collaborative initiatives, or new types of collaboration within existing initiatives, that help bring about more sustainable and equitable social systems worldwide."
