Creating a World That Works for All

Once a month, starting in February, I have been leading a generative conversation to imagine completely new structures for leadership and governance. We are starting with the acknowledgment that virtually all of our existing institutions - like the UN, Washington, BP, Sacramento and other large private and public institutions worldwide - are impotent or nearly so, dysfunctional and for all practical purposes obsolete. Once we take this stand we can begin to imagine new more appropriate structures that can serve us as we are today, not as we used to be.

I host these conversations once a month on the THIRD THURSDAY at 10 AM Pacific. There is no charge to participate. Email me at john@renesch.com to get the call-in number and access code. 

Thanks,

John Renesch

John - Hope to see summaries of these events on BKcommunity.com in the future. Feel free to add these events to the BKcommunity.com Events calendar. Thanks for sharing. David
David, the conversations don't lend themselves to "reportage" but are processes for getting to that place of discovery, where imagination eventually kicks in. The big hurdle is getting our existing institutions out of our heads and breaking that habit of looking to them for answers.

If you would like to join one and try reporting what occurred you are most welcome. They aren't secret call, merely excursionary and exploratory....those "you had to be there" types of situations.....{:
It's very cool that you've started these calls, John! I too urge you to announce them here so we're reminded when they're coming up. Perhaps we can use this space to talk about some of these issues in between your calls, as well.
Reminder: This month's call is Thursday, July 15th, at 10 AM West Coast time. The call in info is:951-262-4343, access code 565180#.
