The Challenges of Our Time

Inspired by C. Otto Scharmer, Presencing Institute

Disruptions

Disruptions force us to figure out how to cross the abyss

between a current reality and a future potential.

Like on a mountain hike: we've got to descent first before going higher.

Divides force us to learn about symptoms.

 Like in an iceberg the deeper reasons are mostly invisible.

Symptoms

Visible symptoms are only a minor part of a disruption.

The major parts are invisible to our eyes, such as:

Structure

Thoughts

Source

Symptoms

Symptoms of our times arise from our broken relationships with:

Division

Ourselves

Our fellow human

Our natural world

Kurt Lewin

“You cannot understand a system

unless you change it.”
