BUILDING UNIFIED, INTENTIONALLY DRIVEN, ORGANIZATIONS WITH HEART

BY FOSTERING DEEP HUMAN CONNECTIONS

The Transformational Change Group

Scope and Opportunity

We are going to call on you to be leaders in the creation of a new paradigm!!

We are going to call on you to think about your role as an organization differently – to think outside of the box!

We are going to ask you to see yourself as global citizens! – not just solving a specific problem or providing a specific service.

We are going to ask you to see your responsibility to employees as not being measurable financially!

We suggest that your function, at least in part, is to contribute to making this world a better place!

Context

A Unique Time in History

This is a time of unprecedented opportunity!Climate change – need to massively

collaborateRecent financial crisis – capitalism is not

sacredUnhappiness and alienation in Western

culture – institutional models are flawedAbsence of spiritual focus in Western culture

The Big Picture

There is a sense that the playing field is changing and that quantum change is

necessary!!

The problem with traditional institutional culture

Codified by specific structural forms (corporation, society etc.) that ignore the deeper requirements of the individual Result: unhappiness and alienation

Institutional forms do not account for objectives that transcend the specific form; therefore not a holistic picture. Result: competition and self interest are

institutionalized
