Professor Johan Rockström is one of the leading earth systems scientists in the world. He has for decades looked at evidence, observations, theories, and model simulations of what is happening to our home planet. Not only when it comes to climate, but also all the other planetary boundaries. In this keynote address to a conference in Berlin last week, Johan laid out the latest findings. The diagnosis he presents is, to put it bluntly, frightening. Sit down comfortably, have a cup of coffee nearby, and read through these few pages a few times. Let it sink in. And then ask yourself, what can I do today to tackle the challenge, or ease the necessary transition? #planetaryboundaries #climatecrisis #tippingpoints #sustainability #sustainabilityleadership

The highlight of last week was the Presidents Summit in Copenhagen with 4,000 participants and several high-profile speakers with themes such as leadership, intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship, innovation and generative AI. So many interesting speakers and VIP talks. Among the most exciting was Dr. Frederik G. Pferdt, Google's first Chief Innovation Evangelist who has trained 25,000 of Google's employees and who believes that we can choose our own future. By turning problems and unexpected challenges into opportunities, we become better at navigating uncertainty. Such a "future-ready mindstate" requires optimism, openness, curiosity, experimentation and empathy. The Professor and entrepreneur Christina Wallace discussed how large established companies can disrupt themselves by partly building their own entrepreneurial systems that support collaboration with the start-ups that develop new technology, partly by creating an innovation culture that allows failure. When I asked about the role of intrapreneurship, she lit up and emphasized that intrapreneurs were the 'necessary sherpas' required to make big companies succeed in continuous innovation. I couldn't agree more… Thank you for this fantastic opportunity to learn and share at the Presidents Summit, Mads Faurholt. #Innovation #Intrapreneurship #Intrapreneurialcapital

The new #wave technique they developed will be presented at the #CHI conference for human-computer interaction research. 😇 👨‍🎤 The researchers started by #experimenting with #visualization techniques familiar from #previous dance games. But after several 🤹‍♀️ prototypes and stages, they decided to try out the #audience wave, familiar from #sporting events, to #guide the #dance. 💃 🎯 The #WAVE dance game can be downloaded 📩 for #Meta #Quest 2 and 3 #VR devices on #GitHub. 🗑 #Try #Today! 🤩 ❤️ Credit: #alatouniversity #vr #virtualdance #znanye #futureisnow #technology

“Accurate diagnosis is key. Build inner strength to engage teams in meaningful discussions about tough questions.” As we navigate this era of extraordinary change, vital to create the right environment for people to speak openly and honestly. Stating the obvious – it starts with all of us doing the hard inner work so we can show up with an open mind and open heart – ready to hear whatever others have to say – whether we like the sound of it or not … Hence, why I so admire the work of Jaemin Frazer. Frankly, it’s so powerfully foundational it should be a standard part of professional development in all businesses. Jaemin is focused on resolving insecurity which he does with simple, powerful frameworks underpinned by deep compassion for what it means to be human. Really excited about this book launch and conversation with Jaemin Frazer, on Sunday 16 June, in Sydney. Please join us if you’d like the opportunity to understand a completely different way of being in the world – a more honest, deeply healing approach. Booking link: https://lnkd.in/gsZuES5C If you can’t join us, I strongly encourage you to read Jaemin’s books or listen to his podcast. Have a look at his website: The Insecurity Project (jaeminfrazer.com) “Grow strong, straight, together”   #peopleengagement #inclusion #empowerment #teambuilding #leadershipdevelopment #businessstrategy #culturaltransformation #innovation

SOLUTIONEERING I learned a new word, thanks to my friend Rasa Kvaukaite. Solutioneering is the term used to describe, the practice of working up a solution, prior to really understanding the problem that the solution is set to solve. This, of course is a rather flat definition that even run-of-the-mill engineers and managers would get. One would hope. But what if we look deeper at solutioneering…. from a psychological, developmental, cultural or even spiritual perspective? First, fixing things has been our modus operandi for about 100 years now. We love doers. We jump up, roll up our sleeves and get the job done. We love entrepreneurs, we want actionable tactics and especially RESULTS. There are two main drivers for this. 1) The protestant work-ethic. 2) The ability to measure outcomes and production in money. Where, now the money cart seems to be way before the horse and determining everything. No matter if the horse is about to collapse. If we take this a bit deeper, solutioneering can also become the cop-out. Don't just stand there, DO something! As long as you're busy, you are helping, you don't have to feel guilty and it strokes your ego. What if doing stuff all the time is actually keeping us busy, and away from seeing the real problems we are facing in the world today? Can it keep us in a delusion? Obviously, yes. Taking this even deeper. If we stop solutioneering, we have to stop altogether. We have to switch from doing to being, which implies we all of a sudden have time to examine ourselves, our motivations, actions and the effects they have. That's scary! We need to be radically honest with ourselves and our own BS. We need to not only become aware of our inside self, but also of our outside. We have to face the music we've unwittingly created as individuals and as humanity. This requires courage, integrity, wisdom and radical responsibility.  So next time, don't just do something, stand there! Stand there consciously, for the right amount of time, under the right circumstances, and ready to spring into the right action.

HELL WEEK | Erik Bertrand Larssen with Radislav Gandapas Eric Larssen is the author of the book "Hell week", a former paratrooper, the #1 personal growth coach in Norway. ⏬ ⏬ ⏬ It is interesting that the preparation of this video also took place "at the limit": we recorded the release in the midst of quarantine from different parts of the world. I am from Moscow, Eric is from Oslo. Locked out of the outside world of our own free will, we talked about the importance of sometimes going outside and having a Hell Week for ourselves. We have been preparing this interview for a long time, because the world with all its diversity and a flurry of accumulated tasks opened unexpectedly quickly, but the topic has not lost its relevance. For many of you in 2020, a week, month, year has started AT THE LIMIT. This is the very period when it is important to keep your job, business. But what can I say, many families in isolation faced challenges they did not think about in their usual rhythm. Hopefully, this interview will help you focus your attention on the things that really matter right now and suggest some options for how to stay in this hellish race. Eric himself also shared tricks that help to cope with challenges. I enjoyed communicating with Eric and his philosophy, which is what I wish for you. Watch and share your insights after! #radislavgandapas #motivation #leadership #personaldevelopment #business https://lnkd.in/eVPNavkv

Illustrated thoughts: How human of me When I was introduced to the thought ‘How human of me” by Kara Loewentheil during a training seminar I was amazed at its effectiveness to generate self-compassion which is vital when we want to become and stay curious about our thoughts and feelings. I can highly recommend using this thought to disrupt the perfectionist fantasy that assumes that, for one, it is possible to operate faultlessly in our professional and private lives and that therefore, we should do so. Also consider that ‘perfect’ is an inert state of being or doing. Only when we do things differently new discoveries are being made, as was the case with Pasty Sherman who tried to develop a rubber material that would not break down from exposure to jet aircraft fuels and discovered a stain resistant compound (Scotchgard) when dropping some of the mixture on her shoe. Expecting a constant, reliable output assumes that we are mechanical rather than biological beings. ‘I am human’ frees us from the lie that we are always able to perform at a steady pace in a predictable, clockworklike world and focuses our attention on universal human needs such as belonging and the search for meaning. It fosters much needed compassion for us and others which makes us truly human.

Scenius: The Power of Collaboration in Times of Crisis. In the world of creativity and innovation, we often attribute success to individual geniuses. We imagine a lone inventor or artist locked away in their studio or lab, painstakingly creating something groundbreaking. What if I told you that true innovation and progress are not born out of solitary genius but through collaboration and community? That's where the concept of "scenius" comes in. Coined by musician Brian Eno, scenius refers to a flourishing community that fosters creativity and innovation. According to writer Packy McCormick, scenius is not just a happy accident but can be cultivated through specific conditions. One of these crucial conditions is a crisis. As we have seen in history, times of crisis can often lead to the emergence of a scenius. Take Silicon Valley, for example, which sprouted from the ashes of World War II. The Renaissance period produced some of the greatest artists and thinkers in history after surviving multiple plagues and wars. In my book "A Test for Our Time: Crisis Leadership in the Next Normal," I explore how leaders can harness the power of scenius to navigate through crises and lead their communities towards growth and progress. It has all four of McCormick’s criteria for cultivating scenius: serious crisis, intense competition, place-based ritual, and diversity of thought and experience. The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly been a serious crisis, causing disruption and uncertainty on a global scale. However, as McCormick argues, it could also be the catalyst for the birth of new sceniuses. With the rise of remote work and virtual collaboration, the pandemic has allowed diverse individuals to collaborate and share ideas in a virtual space. While some may argue that online collaboration lacks the same impact as physical face-to-face interaction, we have seen countless examples of successful virtual collaborations during this crisis. From scientists working together to develop vaccines and rapid tests to musicians creating virtual concerts, scenius thrives unexpectedly. As we navigate the next normal, crisis leadership will play a crucial role in shaping our future. Leaders who understand the power of scenius and know how to cultivate it will be better equipped to lead their communities towards progress and innovation. #ATestForOurTime #CrisisLeadership #NextNormal #Scenius Read more about collective effervescence and innovation in my book: https://lnkd.in/erME_cyK

Talking about Making Change Happen - my newest keynote 🙌 - I always point at the FUN-factor as a big key to install new behaviors, especially in a professional environment 🎉 📝Take meetings, for example. We all know punctuality and active participation boost collaboration and productivity. Yet, meetings can sometimes feel like a chore 🥱 By adding a playful twist, like setting a timer for agenda items and rewarding yourself with a short break or a small treat after each successful meeting, you can turn it into a game. Suddenly, meetings become something to look forward to! 🎯 💡Or consider fostering innovation. Place a flipchart with a new challenge next to the coffee corner ☕, decorate the area with colorful visuals, and provide tools for brainstorming. By creating a fun and inviting space, you inspire your team to think creatively and collaboratively. 🌈 🎹 A fantastic example is the Piano Stairs Experiment in Sweden, part of Volkswagen's "The Fun Theory" campaign: https://lnkd.in/e6ksbt3U By transforming a staircase into piano keys that played music when stepped on, they encouraged people to take the stairs instead of the escalator. This simple yet innovative idea has been replicated worldwide, proving that a little fun can go a long way! Let's bring a bit of joy into our daily routines and watch how it changes our habits! 🚀 What will be your fun-factor today? Do share yours!👇 #makingchangehappen #productivity #keynotespeaker #change #changemindset #funatwork #funfactor #engagement

Proud to be in Volume 24 Ed. 1 of Organisational and Social Dynamics published by OPUS - An Organisation Promoting Understanding of Society. Do you experience challenges and blocks when you are writing? Are you curious to explore why that might be happening? Martin Ringer and I authored a paper titled Metalogue: The Hostile Container. Our paper explores what we call ‘the hostile container’ and how it influences the capacity of a writer to think about and write about ideas. The hostile container is an intrapsychic space that diminishes the capacity to think and write. The notion of the hostile container emerges from the idea that the process of thinking - and hence of writing - is largely an unconscious dialogue between two parts of the dual self (Meares, 1992).
