Are you able to challenge your own assumptions? Sometimes a radically different view can offer new possibilities and insights. For example, can you always rely on data? Do we really need to produce this report? Is the customer always right? Is input really the same as output? Is this model the only way to make things work in our company/industry? All our socio-economic systems are based on assumptions. In this interactive session, Karim teaches your team to look at issues differently in order to come up with completely new solutions.
How are we going to shape the world of tomorrow? How will we change the world, or improve it? We are usually engaged as individuals, but it is precisely as an organisation, team, or profession that we have a huge opportunity to make a difference at scale.
In this interactive session, we will use a global challenge as a case-study to explore different strategies to maximise our impact. We will then design concrete steps to turn our ambitions into reality. As they say, the best way to predict the future is to create it.
The climate crisis is the first truly global challenge for humanity. Our solution is mostly focused on doing less: fly less, eat less meat, use less energy. This will buy us some extra time, but it will not get us there. It’s not about doing less of the bad things, but about doing more good things. We need to radically reshape our world, become 'greenhouse gas emission negative' or, with a better word, climate positive. We make choices as individuals, but it is precisely as organisations or professions that we can truly achieve impact at scale. In this interactive session, discover how you can become climate-positive, and how humanity can thrive on a thriving planet by living fully.
