- Och 90 miljarder i illegala inkomster per år. Det har pågått ett bra tag nu. Varför har VI hamnat i den här situationen, och vad kan VI göra åt den, är tankar som går genom huvudet på de som inte isolerar problem utan ser sammanhang. Det här är verktyg och läsning som har varit hjälpsam till att skapa större förståelse och medvetenhet för oss i 15 punkter; om när verklighet och fiktion blandas samman, vad det innebär att algoritmer favoriserar upprörande innehåll, anknytning och trauma i socialt utsatta sammanhang, den ekonomiska brottslighetens ekosystem osv.

Maria has been visiting Amit @ the WoW pod, it means she’s in the great company of Daniel Christian Wahl, Tyson Yunkaporta, Giles Hutchins etc; “#Sensemaking; the on-going process by which people give meaning to their collective experiences. Here’s a humble welcome…”

Maria had the privilige to visit the Swedish Heja Framtiden! - Podcast . We’re touching upon:

- polyvagaltheory and how stress response affects collaboration capabilities
- what I learned of systems thinking (being) in the different sub cultural eco systems I’ve taken part of
- What health care workers at hospitals and freestyle dancers have in common
- What needs to be in place for an organisation or company to function in line with living systems thinking and have a large space for (co-)creativity

…I just wrapped up the Creative Direction for a Brand Guide for a Regenerative (as in Sustainable, Innovative, Circular) up’n’coming company. It was based, processed and built out of the company's reason to exist; the _real_ need their product/system fulfill; hence; their evolutionary purpose. How close some of the work has been to what I’ve been doing for Robyn…

Det känns som ett privilegium att bli intervjuad av Management/Org- forskarna och organisationsutvecklarna Rolf Medina, PhD och Alicia Medina PhD som b la tittar på Teal företag / organisationer i Sverige. Vi pratar om varför vi behöver frigöra all möjlig mänsklig kreativitet för att ta oss ur den ekologiska krisen, green washing, cirkulära företag vs regenerativa diton….(klicka på rubriken för full post)

The world view effects what system are being built, there is an urgency in seriously reimagine our digital infrastructure, and shift towards a humane technology that supports our common well-being and democratic values, us as a (eco-)system, a whole….read more by clicking on the headline.

We are so happy to announce our workshop; “Co-creating for a regenerative future- Increase creativity and possible innovation through awareness, practises and living systems thinking.”

“Creative processes are essential to entrepreneurship. As a student within interdisciplinary education, it is important to become aware of how to create the necessary conditions for successful collaborations to reach mutual creativity and collective intelligence across disciplinary boundaries, to become conscious system-thinkers with better tools to navigate complexity to tackle the large and complex challenges of our time.”

During Gather Inn 24 th of September we spoke about “Organisation as the foundation of Creativity - why a living systems lens on organisation is crucial for a creative, thrivable, regenerative future #fromego2eco “

“Pop Culture is a constant dialogue with the field, as in relevance. The social aspect is vibrant and foundational.

Another way of speaking of this process is, the intelligence of the body before it is formed like a thought, a sentence actively.

We all have psychological vulnerabilities and we ALL get manipulated to spend more time on line. Just think about the difference of using social media when you are in a good vs. bad mood.

How can we work with this?”

“If innovation is the recognition that two previously disconnected models are compatible, quoting Arthur Koestler, the more perspectives the merrier. Intersectionality analysis then becomes a tool for shedding light on power structures that might shadow certain perspectives.”

“…The very urgent changes the company can and has the power to do is put aside, when the communication tells a story about something else, somewhere else, with the purpose to position the brand with the “good guys” in that “debate” - resulting in a film, with a hope that other people will change.
