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.”
