In the course of history, there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other.That time is now.

LANGUAGE, CONVERSATIONS
It is through language that we observe and bring forth our world. It is through conversations that we coordinate our actions, create relationships, and elicit commitments to produce results.
Everything human takes place in language and conversations.
Collaboration is about a shared vision and is based on networks of conversations.

THE SYSTEMIC NATURE OF OUR GLOBAL PROBLEMS
Most of our world problems are systemic in nature: poverty, population growth, ecological
destruction, global warming.
Yet we react to them in a way that is fragmented and often counter-productive.
There is a crisis of perception - in our culture, we don’t see systems.

Understands sustainability as composed of three dimensions: Human, Institutional, and Environmental. All contribute to flourishing.
Human sustainability supports the basic needs of human beings.
Institutional sustainability are the structures and systems that support a sustainable society, such as business, government, education, religion, the family.
Environmental sustainability conserves the biosphere and the ecology on earth on which human beings depend for their well-being.
SystemicSystemicSustainabilitySustainability
SYSTEMIC SUSTAINABILITY A new paradigm in which human
beings reclaim their sense of their place in the natural world. It is the ethical domain of doing the right thing.
Entails understanding the biological and ecological principles that sustain life and seeing the organization embedded in a complex living network.
Must include designing technology, artifacts, and organizations with principles derived from ecosystems properties and dynamics.

INSTITUTIONAL SUSTAINABILITY
Our key institutions ( Economics, Government, Education, Religion, Media) transform their purpose toward the caring and well being of humans and biosphere, promoting a culture-civilization of flourishing, prosperity, and sustainability.
Organizations and Institutions can evolve to become Living Institutions that are responsible and care for the whole.

THE WORK OF EVOLUTIONARY LEADERS Mobilizing people to transform our politics, institutions,
and culture, inspired by a vision of a better society, a sustainable society.
Creating networks of leaders and organizations that support each other in the evolution toward a sustainable world.
Changing the game from an unsustainable economic system, a culture of conspicuous consumption, a culture that glorifies material consumption as the road to happiness, to a value system based on quality, human dignity, learning, love, spiritual wisdom, and ecological sustainability

Ontological Design is the conscious design of the Self , Our Mind, and Becoming Human by Design.
Ontological Design is being conscious that everything we design should be done with ethics and sustainability in mind, in this sense paying attention to the systemic consequences of our design, artifacts, etc.
We are all designers.
Ontological design is also recognizing that what we design also comes back to shape us/ designs us, in conscious or unconscious ways.

THE WORK OF EVOLUTIONARY LEADERS
“The key challenge of this new century- for social scientists, natural scientists, and everyone else- will be to build ecologically sustainable communities, designed in such a way that their technologies and social institutions-their material and social structures - do not interfere with nature’s inherent ability to sustain life.
The design principles of our future social institutions must be consistent with the principles of organization that nature has evolved to sustain the web of life.”

DESIGNING WITH SUSTAINABILITY
Design is one of the most powerful concepts available to humans, social architects, and leaders.
We can design technology, artifacts, constitutions, rights, the self, culture, organizations, and social systems.
It is the art of creating something that did not exist before.

THE RESOURCES AND THE OPPORTUNITIES
We have the scientific and technological knowledge to solve our major world challenges.
We also possess biological, psychological, and sociological knowledge to educate and transform humans.
Our organizational knowledge and sustainability principles will allow us to design institutions that could support evolution toward sustainable societies.

Challenges-Challenges-WorkWork
•An adaptive challenge is a situation that requires new knowledge, new learning, and even a change in values, behaviors, and worldviews.•Adaptive challenges requires both an assessment of the current reality as well as a vision of a new reality. •Leaders identify the adaptive challenges and then evoke the collective intelligence of the group or organizations to come up with answers and commit to doing the work.•A key question is adapt to what, and for what purpose?

THE EVOLUTIONARY JOURNEY: JONAS JONAS SALKSALK
The most meaningful activity in which a human being can be engaged is one that is directly related to human evolution, this is true because humans now play an active and critical role not only in the process of their own evolution but in the survival and evolution of all living things.
Therefore, human beings have a responsibility for their participation in and contribution to the process of evolution. Acceptance and acknowledgement of this responsibility and creative engagement in the process of meta-biological evolution consciously would bring forth a new reality.
