We are facing unprecedented challenges. Crises loom on almost all global issues: the financial system, world climate, poverty, war, HIV, agriculture, to name but a few.

So far in most cases our answer to these challenges has been more of the same: more management and more international conferences. To tackle our problems we still use methodologies and tools derived from industrialization: they are mostly linear and straight forward. They are based on control of procedures. But for today’s complex challenges those ways of thinking and acting have lost their effectiveness. They might even be harmful.

Over the last decades other tools and methodologies have been developed, that acknowledge interconnectedness, complexity and the power of generative processes. These tools are based on trust in the process. We strongly believe that we can only tackle our global challenges if global leaders take up these new methodologies and subscribe to their processes on a large scale.

We offer trainings on global leadership tools which present state of the art processes for innovation and collaboration:

• design thinking
• leadership landscapes
• participatory design
• process work
• theory U and presencing
• change facilitation
• envisioning desired futures
• pattern languages
• large group facilitation
• collective intelligence

Through workshops, experience talks, and peer feedback we will create an intense learning environment to enable strong learning experiences, deep processes and a multiplicity of new and potent connections. Our aim is to provide global leaders with a deeper understanding and a personal experience of these tools and methodologies.

These trainings are a cooperation with:

• Tom Cummings, Executive Learning Partnership
• Marilyn Mehlmann, Global Action Plan International
