Hosted a webinar today with Joy & Sophia @forum4thefutre today...exploring the future trajectories from now and the underlying system dynamics at play. A contribution to making sense of this immense change we’re all experiencing happening right now. #systemchange

Kinda weird to know +200 were joining from around the world but not able to see their faces...

But here's the jist of what we shared -

…COVID-19 has caused a major, unprecedented, global discontinuity. And it is affecting everything, at all levels of the system - particularly of interest is that the deepest levels are being affected - the assumptions, mindsets, values and feelings.

…we’ve outlined a set of emerging trajectories, or pathways from now, framed around the different mindsets we’re seeing signs of:

….and in each of these pathways lies a set of  underlying system dynamics. That will play out differently across these pathways.

We’ve created a (v1) map of the systemic dynamics that we see are important in the coming decade, and places Covid in the context of this. See more: https://www.forumforthefuture.org/Pages/FAQs/Category/fos2020

There is so much to share about each areas that a tweet simply won’t suffice…but to say they will play out differently in each trajectory. And as a consequence each will require something different of us if we want to see change.

But what is important to keep in mind is that its the mindsets and perspectives we bring to this and the decisions we make right now will have a profound influence on our ability to achieve this.

The intention is that this is the start of a shared exploration. Really keen to hear feedback and ideas for where to go with this and how to collaborate…..
