Breakthrough Change

Issues such as climate change, resource scarcity and po-pulation growth are growing challenges – current models of capitalism are failing economically, socially and environ-mentally. Endemic short-termism, lack of political leadership, and pub-lic demand for greater corporate accountability are putting untenable pressure on our institutions.

„extreme is the new normal“ as scientists put it. „We must and can do things differently“ – is how we put it.

above all, brEaktHroUGH needs change and action. thebrEaktHroUGH Innovation Lab is an interactive workshop for business and nPo leaders and executives to provoke

new thinking, conversations and action with the potential to dramatically reshape the systems they operate within.

achieveing system-level breakthroughs requires a deeper understanding of how we as individuals, our organisations and the systems themselves currently interact and operate, enabling us to create the right solutions and work on the right leverage points.

with two world-class experts, John Elkington and Gerald Hüther and other innovation experts, participants will work on real-life challenges, using design thinking and leadership elements, and get hands-on insights to take back into your organisations.
