Why do we collectively create results nobody wants? Environmental destruction and the growing gap between rich and poor are just two of the most pressing examples of undesirable outcomes our current economic system produces. According to Otto Scharmer, we need to move from an ego-system that puts individual well-being at the centre to an eco-system that fosters well-being as a whole. Developing a vision of a global society 4.0, he lays out the tools we need to tackle the deeper root causes of today’s ecological and social divides. The keynote is followed by a reflection with gift economist Nipun Mehta and change consultant Hanno Burmester on how we can shift from individual mindfulness to systemic transformation.
