Podcasts about scharmer

"Reboot Business" podcast host Julian Devaureix interviews Otto Scharmer, a senior lecturer at MIT and creator of Theory U, about navigating the current radical transformation of the business world due to social, energy, and environmental demands. Scharmer discusses systems thinking as a way to understand interconnected global crises like ecological damage, socioeconomic inequality, and mental health issues, emphasizing that these are symptoms of deeper disconnects. He introduces Theory U as a framework and set of tools for achieving organizational and societal change by shifting consciousness and enabling systems to see and sense themselves more fully. The conversation highlights the power of attention as crucial for individuals and leaders to intentionally shape the future and move from reactive patterns to co-creative action, advocating for personal awareness practices, deep listening in small groups, and aligning work with purpose to foster widespread change starting at the individual level.Hosted by Ausha.

Een betonnen, in plaats van een onverhard fietspad wil de dorpsvereniging van Scharmer aan laten leggen door onze gemeente. Misschien vinden sommigen dat overdreven, maar bij mij leidt dat tot grote droefenis. En ook wel een beetje boosheid. Een van de mooiste onverharde fietspaden in de buurt wordt opgeofferd voor wat precies? Verkeersveiliger wordt het niet, de randen van zo'n betonnen pad leiden alleen maar tot ongelukken bij passanten. Het onderhoud kan altijd beter, maar dat geldt straks ook voor zo'n strak en glad pad dat scooters en motoren uitnodigt er over heen te racen. Wat verloren gaat zijn de randovergangen van het nu leemachtige pad naar de vegetatie, heel veel planten en insecten profiteren daarvan. Zoals de er nestelende grijze zandbij, helaas ook al sterk achter uitgaand. Ook al, want het gaat beroerd met veel planten, vogels en insecten. Er verdwijnen er een boel, in een hoog tempo. Veel collega biologen zijn de wanhoop nabij over de onverschilligheid van zoveel mensen. Snappen we dan niet dat we het niet gaan redden als we ons eigen gemak boven alles stellen? Juist in onze directe leefomgeving kunnen we met zijn allen heel veel doen aan de natuur, in de eigen tuin, maar ook met een wat bedachtzamer omgang met voet- en fietspaden in onze eigen buurt. Want we zijn met heel veel mensen, en met zijn allen kunnen we heus een beetje helpen nog wat over te laten voor volgende generaties.Natuur en Wetenschap door Menno en Erwin is a reader-supported publication.

In mei leggen alle..Mooi niet. Er zijn heel veel vogels die al eerder, of pas later een ei leggen. En de koekoek en de griet (die we beter kennen als de grutto) kunnen wel degelijk een ei in mei leggen. Dus een twijfelachtig kinderversje, maar het duidt wel op een fenomeen dat vogels heel goed hun broedseizoen plannen, voor zover mogelijk. Als het goed is precies passend voor het voer dat hun jongen nodig hebben, veelal rupsjes en andere insectenlarven. Tussen de beslissing te gaan broeden en het eerste uit het ei kruipende jong zitten gemiddeld  een dag of twintig, dus dat is al moeilijk afstemmen als door een warmer voorjaar de voervoorraad al eerder op zijn top zit. En hoe moet het dan met de fitis? Dit voorjaar kwam de fitis uit het midden van Afrika weer precies op dezelfde dag naar dezelfde boom in Scharmer gevlogen als een jaar eerder, en zijn buren precies zo de drie dagen daarvoor. Dan moeten ze maar hopen dat de eiken en de andere bomen in de buurt niet te vroeg uit zijn gelopen, de rupsen die het van verse bladeren moeten hebben ook niet eerder aan de maaltijd zijn begonnen en daarmee de fitissen toch misschien te laat gekomen zijn. Oftewel, klimaatverandering maakt het leven van de migrerende vogel er niet eenvoudiger op. Zouden daarom verschillende vogelsoorten hun migratiepatronen veranderen, of zelfs proberen het hele jaar in ons land te blijven?

Robin is an executive coach, facilitator, a mediator, an organisational consultant, works in leadership development and sometimes known as a mystic (Twitter, LinkedIn, Website).Our conversation concentrates on the importance of feeling present, and being fully open to what is happening in that moment. Only then can we integrate the past, and not be unconsciously driven by it. Only then can we hear the calling of the future, and act courageously towards something different. Only then can we act in alignment with a deeper ethics.This is all very much at the spiritual end of acting in these powerful times.

In the book ‘The Essentials of Theory U', Otto Scharmer asks the simple but unique question, “How do we learn from the future as it emerges?” Telling a story from his childhood, Scharmer recalled the moment in which he discovered his parents' house had burnt down. It was then when he realized that it was not only his physical possessions that were lost but also his experiences and attachments to the home. His old self had died, so his survival relied on the life that lay ahead.  In this episode, I will review and share with you a recent reading of Otto Scharmers' book ‘The Essentials of Theory U' (2018). I begin with a summary of the author and the book's main ideas. From there, I intend to highlight the concept of the ‘blind spot' and how the process-oriented ‘Theory U' finds a creative solution to managing current global, social, and economic challenges. Last, but by no means least, we will draw conclusions for implementing this concept in leadership roles within social work organisations.For more information visit my blog: profmanagement.de Thank you for listening.

Darcy Winslow is the co-founder and President (2010-2020) of the Academy for Systems Change, an organization focused on advancing the field of awareness-based systemic change in order to achieve economic, social, and ecological well being. The Academy designs, develops and delivers a range of programs to support, coach and build community among emerging and existing leaders who are at the pioneering edge of systems change work. Unlike conventional leadership training organizations, the Academy’s approach fosters deep understandingof the powerful connection between change within the individual and changing the systemsin which they work. The Academy was in part founded to create a network of networks to contribute to the growth of the emerging field of ‘awareness based systems change’, thus accelerating our impact on the critical global ecosystems we rely on to thrive.Darcy also founded the recently launched Magnolia Moonshot 2030 (MM2030), a project within the Academy, which is a new narrative for women’s leadership, creating the conditions to activate our collective power to address the greatest challenges we face today. By convening networks of women leaders who are urgently addressing the climate crisis, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, deep equity, conscious leadership and the divine feminine, MM2030 amplifies our collective ability for positive impact.Darcy also worked at Nike, Inc. for 21 years. She led large scale systems change efforts within Nike, and held several senior management positions, most notably starting the Sustainable Business Strategies in 1999, Global Director for Research Design and Development, General Manager/VP for Nike’s Global Women’s Footwear, Apparel and Equipment division, and Senior Advisor to the Nike Foundation.Darcy participates as a Board Member for The Carbon Underground, The Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education, and Advisory Board for Regenerative Earth.

“We are stronger than we realize.  We have the immense capacity for resilience -- to rise up and recreate the world we know is possible.” When Antoinette Klatzky took a part-time job as a recent college graduate in a retail clothing store, she might not have imagined one day working with the iconic fashion designer, Eileen Fisher, to help set strategy for Fisher’s foundation on human rights and climate justice for the next 10 years -- operating at the intersection of transforming business, environmental stewardship, and women’s empowerment. Nor might she have envisioned that her work with Fisher would lead her to help prepare leaders and changemakers around the globe for broader awareness-based systems change. But that’s what Klatzky has done. As the co-creator and Executive Director of the Eileen Fisher Leadership Institute, she facilitates empowerment workshops for young women – having previously initiated a recycled clothing program to fund those workshops and helped diversify the company’s supply chain for social justice and equity. And as a co-creator in the Presencing Institute, led by Otto Scharmer of MIT, she co-anchors a worldwide community of nearly 13,000 participants engaging in shared inquiry: how can we be of transformational service in our modern moment of intersecting crises? The daughter of a consciously single parent, Klatzky comes from a strong line of independent women. Her mother, after leaving a secure academic tenured career, gave birth to her at the age of 40 as a single parent by choice. Her grandmother, who gave birth to her mother at the age of 40, was the daughter of a Russian Jewish seamstress who fled the pogroms of Czarist Russia. “It’s this lineage of strong women that carried me into this life and to the journey that I have been on,” Klatzky reflects. Her father’s Indian heritage was a doorway of discovery for universal roots, blending community and family, and deepening into spiritual and embodiment practices like yoga, of which she is a certified teacher. The paradoxical sense of both belonging and difference that she experienced in her childhood within the Jewish community led her to an International Honors Program in college, where she traveled across countries, experienced different cultures, and re-imagined globalization. Upon graduating, she returned to her childhood stomping grounds at the YWCA where she was previously a lifeguard competitive swimming coach – this time to step in as a social justice coordinator, while also taking a part-time job in retail clothing. This would foreshadow the next stage of her life. As it turned out, Eileen Fisher was looking to establish an institute to teach the company’s leadership practices to a new generation of young women and teenage girls. Klatzky seemed the ideal fit. The company’s leadership practices were heavily influenced by Otto Scharmer’s work at MIT, taking Klatzky deep into the principles of Theory U, a paradigm for awareness-based systems change and organizational transformation that emphasizes deep listening, and radically sensing and “presencing” an emerging future. She was so drawn to these principles that she studied and trained with Scharmer’s Presencing Institute, and later joined its board. A moment that occurred during a Master Class in Germany captures Klatzky’s depth of spirit: in a circle discussing the aftermath of the Holocaust, she spontaneously and melodiously sang a Hebrew prayer. Much of the room was brought to tears.  Out of Klatzky's explorations, the Eileen Fisher Leadership Institute was born.  Beyond simply imparting useful skills, the program distinctively helps young women embark on a leadership journey of self-discovery -- and the authenticity that comes with embodiment.  Today, Klatzky divides her time at work between the Leadership Institute and Women Together, an initiative of the Eileen Fisher Foundation that supports women in being the change they wish to see in the world.  She also co-anchors the GAIA Journey (Global Activation of Intention and Action), a 14-week online course that she co-developed for the Presencing Institute aimed at profound civilizational renewal. Within the span of 12 days in response to the Covid pandemic, GAIA grew from a small group of friends discussing an idea to 13,000 virtual journeys supported by insights from neuroscientists, indigenous wisdom keepers, psychotherapists, biologists, artists, poets, and academic researchers. Klatzky is still processing all that has transpired. What keeps her grounded? She lives just north of New York City on Lenape land, and loves her time in the garden, connected to the land. What she calls “home” is her regular yoga and meditation practice. “When I can really come back to myself and be centered in who I am, that is home for me.” Join us in conversation with this strong feminine voice of the emerging future!

Marianne Williamson’s 2020 Vision – The Evolution Is Here … If We Want ItAired Tuesday, December 31, 2019 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST Interview with Author, Teacher and Presidential Candidate Marianne Williamson“If we want to heal the cancer on the body politic, we must first address the heart disease.” — Swami BeyondanandaFour years ago, rank and file Republican voters had the courage to follow their convictions and choose an outside-the-box, non-politician candidate who they felt best represented their world view. Establishment candidates like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and even Ted Cruz fell by the wayside, and the Republican establishment had to fall in line behind the people’s choice, Donald Trump.As MIT professor Otto Scharmer (http://mitsloanexperts.mit.edu/on-the-making-of-trump-the-blind-spot-that-created-him-otto-scharmer/) pointed out after the election, American voters had three choices in 2016: Move forward together, stay with the status quo, or move backward. Bernie represented moving forward together, but there is plenty of evidence that he was cheated out of the nomination (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jun/11/democrat-primary-elections-need-reform) by the Hillary forces. Hillary, according to Scharmer, represented the status quo.And we all know what happened. The status quo was rejected, and America took a giant step backward.Now, here we are again, and the powers-that-be in the Democratic (sic) Party have been using their influence to marginalize and discredit the one truly “radical” candidate in the campaign, Marianne Williamson. Now by radical, I don’t mean Bernie Sanders radical or even AOC radical – I mean radical in its original meaning, getting to the root cause. Unlike any other candidate, with the possible exception of Tulsi Gabbard, Marianne’s platform – go here (https://www.marianne2020.com/) to see it for yourself – is the only one that gets to the ROOT of the “shituation”, the absence of a sane and sacred center. Consequently, the unchecked and unbalanced power of money has ruled, leaving we the people at the non-mercy of a heartless system.And while I have always liked and admired Marianne, it wasn’t until I saw her in the second Presidential debate last summer that I appreciated the power of her voice being heard. She received genuine and heartfelt applause when she broke through fog of political clichés and challenged the Democratic Party not just to provide universal health care but to get to the root of what has been making us sick – industries putting toxins in the air, water and food, depleted soil, and a toxic economic environment where 40% of us live from paycheck to paycheck, all too often without the paycheck.I originally envisioned this interview with Marianne as a way for her to present her platform as a vision for the coming decade that should inform the Democratic platform regardless of the candidate. Instead, she issued a challenge: If Republican voters had the courage and political will to support someone who spoke to their true agenda, how about progressives? Will progressives take up the challenge to move ahead – or fall back into some “safe” candidate who might or might not be able to defeat Donald Trump? And if by some stroke of grace, that “cancer” is excised, how about the underlying heart disease?Half a century ago, John Lennon offered a similar challenge (https://youtu.be/CbKsgaXQy2k)“War is over … if you want it.” Now the evolution is here … if we want it. Will we settle for a lesser evil … or stand for a greater good? If we have the courage and will and yes, faith to stand together we may never need to march again.If you’ve written off Marianne Williamson as “unelectable” or if you are still undecided, go read her platform and see the depth of her ideas. More importantly, understand she will stand behind those ideas. Remember, Donald Trump was also “unelectable” … and if a miracle is indeed needed, who better to bring it about than a Course In Miracles teacher? Decide for yourself.

In dieser Folge erkläre ich Dir die Theorie U von Otto C. Scharmer so wie ich sie verstanden habe. Ich bin ein riesengroßer Fan dieser Theorie und habe sein Buch "Theorie U - von der Zukunft her führen" verschlungen. Ich erkläre Dir in dieser Folge den gesamten U-Prozess und die 4 Arten des Zuhörens, die dafür notwendig sind. Otto C. Scharmer ist Mitglied am MIT und hat über die letzten 15 Jahre mit der Theorie U eine Methode (oft auch als Führungsmethode bezeichnet) entwickelt, mit der sich Potenziale und Zukunftschancen in Unternehmen und Organisationen erkennen und im Hinblick auf aktuelle Herausforderungen erschließen lassen. Mit der Theorie U bzw. dem U-Prozess lässt sich die emergente Zukunft erspüren und in die Wirklichkeit bringen. Er ist überzeugt, dass das Neue nur dann in die Welt kommen kann, wenn wir uns mit unserem inneren Ort der Stille verbinden und unserem Willen öffnen, was sein könnte. Nur dann können wir in Wirklichkeit bringen, was sich niemand hätte vorher vorstellen können. Das eigene Selbst ist bei Scharmer das stärkste Innovationswerkzeug, dass sich jedoch nur dann entfaltet, wenn Reflektionstechniken und Techniken der Stille (Meditation) eingesetzt werden. Sie helfen dabei, den Blick nicht nur nach außen zu wenden, sondern gleichzeitig auch nach innen zu den tieferen Quellen des eigenen Willens und des eigenen intuitiven Wissens. Ich habe die Erfahrung gemacht, dass sie nicht nur in Unternehmen sehr nützlich ist, sondern auch in der Beratung und Strategie Workshops zum Einsatz kommen kann. Immer dann, wenn es um wirkliche Innovationen geht. Eine interessante Folge für alle, die sich für Transformation, digitalen Wandel und Innovationsprozesse in Unternehmen interessieren.

So this episode is a talk I gave on a beautiful farm called Mossy Willow Farm last weekend. The event and the talk were organised by Dumbo Feather and I thank them so much for the opportunity - I had myself a lovely time and the talk led to some awesome conversations afterward. During the talk I paraphrase this quote from Peter Senge: It's common to say that trees come from seeds. But how can a tiny seed create a huge tree? Seeds do not contain the resources need to grow a tree. These must come from the medium or environment within which the tree grows. But the seed does provide something that is crucial : a place where the whole of the tree starts to form. As resources such as water and nutrients are drawn in, the seed organizes the process that generates growth. In a sense, the seed is a gateway through which the future possibility of the living tree emerges.Peter Senge, C. Scharmer (2011). “Presence: Exploring Profound Change in People, Organizations and Society”, p.10, Nicholas Brealey Publishing

This week I am speaking with Otto Scharmer – senior lecturer at MIT's Sloan School of Management, co-founder of the Presencing Institute, founding chair of the MIT IDEAS Program, social innovator and an amazing facilitator of personal, organizational and societal change. We speak about stillness, transformation, and his latest book, Leading from the Emerging Future. show notes: seanhoward.ca/15

Social networks are regarded as powerful resources that have available novel solutions, innovative ideas and can create new pathways. Networks exist as informal webs of affiliation between individuals and also as ties between organisations in the form of professional networks. These different forms of networks have in common that there is a social structure that connects particular agents with each other and enables the flow of information and knowledge between them. Thus, in creating new ties and connecting already existing networks/individuals/organisations, a richer structure is created and with it access options to novel knowledge. The exchange and combination of knowledge is a means for creating innovations. The national initiative “Learning Regions – Providing Support for Networks” (2001-2008) fostered this macro-structural change process in Germany on a regional level, so that a new learning culture and with it innovative products and ideas could emerge. An underlying concept for this programme is the theory on ‘learning organisations’ (Senge et al. 2007) which is referred to concerning the interpretation of the data. Moreover, in order also to focus on the associated change processes, the guiding theoretical elaborations of Scharmer’s “Theory U” are applied to the findings. In this thesis the data gathered during the evaluation of this initiative are re-analysed with the research focus on particular social role inhabitants in networks: network managers. Based on a combination of survey and network data as well as expert interviews, the structural position and the resulting perspectives, perceptions and role learning processes are explored. By means of interpreting the findings, the thesis illustrates a developmental role-taking process for network managers with five stages along a U-curve. Thus, it becomes evident that the above described structural changes of interaction and knowledge flows are accompanied by deep change and the acquisition of certain skills. These skills are identified for example as a high tolerance for complexity and uncertainty, a “bridging capacity”, an awareness of tie structures, a high level of personal mastery and the capacity to act skilfully in interdependent structures and perceive himself or herself as part of a larger system. Network management is recognized as a service function that needs to be filled in professional educational networks. In the networks of the learning regions, network managers are inclined to act as societal change agents and social entrepreneurs who try to induce a process of conscious co-evolution within a defined region.
