Collectively, we face the biggest crisis in recent human history. In the short time since I created this website in 2004, there has been enormous change. Climate change is affecting people, especially poor people, everywhere. It is 90 percent certain that human activity is the major cause. The unfolding disaster of the war in Iraq, waged despite the protests of millions, has deeply shocked the world. As a result, people want more control over their governments. People are aware of a deep crisis, far greater than climate change. We face wholesale destruction of the ecological system on which all life depends. Despite many initiatives, global economic and social injustice, extreme poverty and violence continue. Ecological destruction and poverty are inseparably linked. Globalisation in its present form is not working and is unsustainable.
The good news is that the crisis is an opportunity that could lead to happier, more fulfilling lives for everyone! I believe we shall all be more at ease in such a world.
People, businesses and governments are reacting. The ball is rolling, but far too slowly to avert disaster. There is a lack of strategic leadership. Many people are in denial, carrying on with "business as usual." Many believe there is little or nothing they can do or are waiting for someone else to act. The global economic system has to be changed. Consumerism and continuous rapid economic growth are unsustainable. We need to transform the way we live; we need a change of consciousness. That is what the new generation demands.
We can change things for the better if: we understand the key issues underlying the crisis; believe we can make a difference; take informed action in our daily lives and work; put pressure on governments, big organisations and international institutions like the WTO and the World Bank. Whoever and wherever we are, we can all play a part in transforming our organisations, our lives and our world, particularly if we have the courage to be ourselves. As people become more informed and aware, their values and consciousness change. This is how systemic change in the world comes about – many people doing what matters to them.
This site is for anyone who wants to change things for the better. The purpose is to provide you with resources to do this. These include:
- an analysis of the current global economic system - why it's unsustainable; how it's working and not working
- the underlying key issues
- what needs to be done to change the system
- ways of facilitating and co-creating change
- the kind of leadership needed in the 21st Century
- ways of creating better, sustainable workplaces which bring out everyone's potential and serve people's needs.
You will find thinking and processes to help you; articles, reviews, books, events and links to other like-minded people who are working for change.
To thrive in the 21st century global economy, workplaces need to release everyone's energy, creativity and leadership. This requires a cultural revolution! Changing the world and creating better workplaces hang together. We need to do both.
I also provide services to help you do these things. I work with associates. Discover our mission, how we're different and what benefits we can bring. Essentially, we offer facilitation and support from a practical, holistic, global perspective. I listen to a lot of different people and you can see what they say in the Who I Am section of this web site.
I hope you will find the website inspiring and useful. I welcome your feedback.
