Shift
Are today’s institutions capable of shifting gears in a world of accelerating change? Yesterday, I spent time with the head of innovation from the Port of Antwerp and later listened to veteran sustainability advocate Jonathon Porritt at The Shift’s AGM in Brussels. In different ways, their message was the same. Change is speeding up across 3 fronts: socio-ecological breakdowns, technological breakthroughs and rising social movements. Together these are creating a perfect storm for an extremely rapid and disruptive ‘systems flip’. Yet most government, business and academic institutions are still cruising in low gear. Who will get left behind first?
