The Transformational Change Group
Scope and Opportunity
We are going to call on you to be leaders in the creation of a new paradigm!!
We are going to call on you to think about your role as an organization differently – to think outside of the box!
We are going to ask you to see yourself as global citizens! – not just solving a specific problem or providing a specific service.
We are going to ask you to see your responsibility to employees as not being measurable financially!
We suggest that your function, at least in part, is to contribute to making this world a better place!
Context
A Unique Time in History
This is a time of unprecedented opportunity!Climate change – need to massively
collaborateRecent financial crisis – capitalism is not
sacredUnhappiness and alienation in Western
culture – institutional models are flawedAbsence of spiritual focus in Western culture
The Big Picture
There is a sense that the playing field is changing and that quantum change is
necessary!!
The problem with traditional institutional culture
Codified by specific structural forms (corporation, society etc.) that ignore the deeper requirements of the individual Result: unhappiness and alienation
Institutional forms do not account for objectives that transcend the specific form; therefore not a holistic picture. Result: competition and self interest are
institutionalized
