Whether from fear or habit, our culture is not innovating the democratic change sufficient to our time. We face an urgent challenge to make the differences that effect changes that so many seek. Our cultural and social institutions have peaked out, but in their wiley senescence they have protected themselves from structural innovation. From healthcare to finance, politics to education, infrastructures & decision processes, we can & must reinvent social futures. Our societal systems have grown beyond their capacity to transform by management. Collaboration alone is insufficient - We truly need new cultures of co-innovation, collectively deciding, and socially organizing. A community of practice meets for these dialogues in person every 2nd Wednesday in Toronto: Art, science, and design are different ways of knowing. In the fields of action (business, community, and social co-creation) they regenerate each other. All ways of knowing are invited to the dance of change, if we are to interfere & reinvent our values and systems to open these possibilities. Your participation is required. |
