• Millionaire spending incompatible with 1.5 ◦C ambitions

  This article in Cleaner Production Letters studies the implications of a continued growth in the number of millionaires for emissions, and its impact on the depletion of the remaining carbon budget to limit global warming to 1.5 °C (about 400 Gt CO2). Much evidence suggests that the wealthiest individuals contribute disproportionally to climate change. Findings suggest that…

• The evolution of universal cooperation

  Humans work together in groups to tackle shared problems and contribute to local club goods that benefit other group members. Whereas benefits from club goods remain group bound, groups are often nested in overarching collectives that face shared problems like pandemics or climate change. Such challenges require individuals to cooperate across group boundaries, raising the…

• The Capital Order

  In The Capital Order, political economist Clara E. Mattei explores the intellectual origins of austerity to uncover its originating motives: the protection of capital—and indeed capitalism—in times of social upheaval from below.  For more than a century, governments facing financial crisis have resorted to the economic policies of austerity— rise in interest rates, privatisation, cuts to…

• Adaptability and leaders

  “Leadership for organizational adaptability: A theoretical synthesis and integrative framework“One of the biggest challenges facing leaders today is the need to position and enable organizations and people for adaptability in the face of increasingly dynamic and demanding environments. Leadership for organizational adaptability is different from traditional leadership or leading change. It involves enabling the adaptive process…

• Degrowth can work

  “The global economy is structured around growth — the idea that firms, industries and nations must increase production every year, regardless of whether it is needed. This dynamic is driving climate change and ecological breakdown. High-income economies, and the corporations and wealthy classes that dominate them, are mainly responsible for this problem and consume energy…

• Wouter inspired me to (re)act

  The most valuable communication happens in informal and unpredictable ways. (Most organizational charts are an illusion…) Wouter,je uitspraak is zowel waar als relevant. De meeste bedrijven baseren zich nog steeds op de near-composability van H. Simon, een organisatiemodel dat werkt, maar alleen voor korte-termijn doelstellingen. Een bedrijf is  complexer dan wat near-composability kan aanreiken. “no…

• Cynefin – Sensemaking

  Het Cynefin® framework werd als “sensemaking” door Dave Snowden ontwikkeld vanuit een natuur-wetenschappelijke insteek, met als een doel projecten te laten evolueren vanuit de bestaande toestand, en de mogelijke evoluties in te schatten, in plaats van een vooraf gedefinieerd einddoel te fixeren. Cynefin® is in wezen een beslissingsondersteunend kader (framework), geen methode of model.Het is…

• Samenwerking en Ecosystemen

  Deze aanpak van de meeste contracten bestaat uit het uitbesteden van opdrachten zonder bijzondere aandacht aan gestructureerd overlegorganen voor gemeenschappelijke beslissingen. Deze werkwijze is terug te voeren op een inzicht in de geschiedenis van “Near-Decomposability”.Herbert Simon is een van de iconen van Near-Composability, een beheer- en bestuur methodologie, die grondig uitgewerkt is een veelvoud management-methodes.…

• Long live the Queen (he/his)

  The red queen is well knwon, and drives our current economic thinking (too much). I’ve already mentioned the fact of a long history of this theory of ‘Red Queen’ among evolutionary disciplines. There are alternatives, like ‘niche construct’ or ‘White Queen’ , more related to ideas like “commons“, based on ‘survival of the fittest’, in stead of ‘.. of…

  A recent BCG article “The Organization of the Future Is Fractal” has a clear description of what John Seely Brown expresses as “we’ve moved from the age of enlightenment to the age of entanglement where sense-making aided by imagination is now more critical than ever.” Over the past 50 years or more, as the global…

  Two great articles build on this idea of the need to get more attention to the connections and relations in between, compared to the specialised detailed view, or to have the multidisciplenary view of entanglement, compared to tradition we learned rom the enlightement.

  Prof Koen Schoors gebruikt in zijn lezing bij de Universiteit Vlaanderen, “Kan een democratie bestaan zonder kapitalisme?“ (ook beschikbaar als podcast en in een krantenartikel) een aantal veronderstellingen die hij niet verduidelijkt.

• We do not only need multi-stakeholder, there is also an urgent need to reflect about future generations: “Being a Good Ancestor.”

  I just finished a nice reading on how we might motivate ourselves to think about a sustainable future. “The Good Ancestor” from Roman Krznaric is great in helping us to understand the urgent need to stop living in the tiranny of the now, and working toward long term thinking and intergenerational justice. Roman has strong…

• Information Lens – More than IT

  The Information Lens principle is showing clear in the economics of recent times. A shift from the current globalized capitalism towards more value-based and stakeholder driven economies is happening slowly. In order to make this happen, the economies have to bring in the insights and information on these stakeholders and values, including a data-economy. “Globalization…
