The Change the Game Initiative partnered with www.thinkmoreabout.com and organized a seminar at the upcoming "Tage der Nachhaltigkeit - Giornate della sostenibilità 2013" in South Tyrol 23.-26.5.2013. You can follow the event and website in German.
Gesellschaftlicher Wandel durch Innovation; Referenten: Manfred Blachfellner & Thomas Fundneider
Sa. 25. Mai 2013; 09.00 - 16.00 Uhr im Bildungshaus Kloster Neustift
Von Haltungen, die Neues ermöglichen, über „Enabling Spaces“ zu emergenter Innovation.
Dieses Seminar geht gemeinsam mit den Teilnehmern/-innen der Frage nach, was die notwendigen Bedingungen für profunde, nachhaltige Veränderungen ausmacht – sowohl auf individueller als auch auf organisationaler Ebene. Gesellschaft/Organisation und Innovation bedingen und beeinflussen sich hierbei gegenseitig: Innovation als Treiber gesellschaftlichen Wandels, gesellschaftlicher Wandel als Treiber von Innovationen.
Innovatoren/-innen, Unternehmer/-innen, Führungskräfte aus der Wirtschaft, aus dem Bildungssektor, aus der Sozialen Arbeit und anderen Non Profit Organisationen sind herzlich eingeladen gemeinsam das
- Paradigma des Enabling (Ermöglichens), eine Alternative, eine Grundvoraussetzung, die Neues ermöglicht kennenzulernen,
- Enabling Spaces (Räume des Ermöglichens), die Strukturen und den Wandel des Managements, basierend auf neuesten Erkenntnissen aus den Kognitionswissenschaften zu erfahren,
- Emergente Innovation (der Prozess), radikale Innovationen, die sich organisch in aufkommende Rahmenbedingungen einpassen, zu entwerfen.
Die Teilnehmer/-innen werden in allen 3 Blöcken angeleitet, ihre persönliche und die Situation ihrer Organisationen für sich zu reflektieren und Wege der Öffnung und Entwicklung ihrer „Räume“ für Wandel und Innovation vorstellbar zu machen. Die Vielfalt der Klosteranlage und der sie umgebenden Natur werden als ein lebendiger Enabling Space erlebbar.
Nutzen Sie die Möglichkeit und erleben sie eine Perspektive der Game Changing Innovations. |

One of the largest systems science societies, the International Society of the Systems Sciences invites contributions from systems scholars and professionals — whether in the academic world, industry/commerce or professional practice — to engage with one another, to create a space where systems theory/modeling/simulation meets systems practice/living/being, to co-create a living network of institutions and individuals learning together how thrivability frameworks and practices help humanity tackle real world complex problems.
Members of the Change the Game Initiative were involved in the design of the international conference and will present their projects in Viet Nam.
The 57th Meeting of the International Society for the Systems, Curating the Conditions for a Thrivable Planet – Systemic Leverage Points for Emerging a Global Eco-Civilization, takes place in Hai Phong City, Viet Nam — 14-19 July 2013. http://isss.org/world/Hai_Phong_City_2013 Join systems thinkers and systems professionals in a unique experience that will contribute significantly to making systems thinking and acting more mainstream with hands-on experience in the UNESCO Cat Ba Biosphere Reserve and at Hai Phong City, the first city in the world to be managed using an integral systems approach.
You will find all the detailed information on their website, including registration http://isss.org/world/isss-conference-registration, the venue http://isss.org/world/Info_Hai_Phong, the exciting social programs and roundtrip tours http://isss.org/world/tourism_options & http://isss.org/world/Travel_and_Visas_2013, the opportunities to present your own work in this international context http://isss.org/world/preparing-and-submitting-abstracts-and-papers, the special Student awards http://isss.org/world/Student_Awards.
This Conference offers the experience of a lifetime to have systems scientists and systems practitioners in one exciting place to form a Global Evolutionary Learning Laboratory of systemic thrivability initiatives. Be a part of this world shifting initiative!
This conference is held in cooperation with the 2013 International Conference on Social Environmental Education for an Emerging Eco-Civilization, Enacting Unbounded Collaboration and Evolutionary Development for Glocal Eco-Communities: A New Paradigm of Public Engagement and Social Innovation, National Taiwan Normal University, July 21-22, 2013. http://www.ace.ntnu.edu.tw/ The conference, which is free for all attendees of the ISSS 2013 conference, will provide a dialogue on the insight praxis and oneness mind of eastern perspectives with the systems thinking and wholeness mind of western perspectives. http://myregie.tw/registration!page.htm?id=4539 The 2013 ISEE conference aims at bridging cultural, ethnic and national differences, transforming competitive ideology of national development, enriching coexistence among all lives and cross-sectoral collaboration, and cultivating green social innovation and manpower.
The Change the Game Initiative will be one of the vital nodes at this second event in Taiwan, too. Take part, get connected, get involved. You are cordially invited to visit with us two beautiful countries, which will be future examples of paradigm change.

The last two years many of us have shared and worked together on questions addressing the big picture and the underlying assumptions of growth and development as a social fabric. Our joint publication, an outcome of our meeting in 2010, will be ready as a double issue in 2012 in the Journal of Organisational Transformation & Social Change
Let´s share our curiosity, knowledge, and wisdom again. This time starting in 2012 with the challenge of organizational designs as enablers of an evolving eco-civilization. A lot of us are concerned toady with questions on the design of adaptive complex systems, network organizations, enabling spaces, non-organizations like the Change the Game Initiative itself, you name it ...
But what could we possibly achieve if we co-create radical innovative patterns together, learning from other practitioners and researchers who are experienced in biology, technology, sociology, management, development, design, and ...?
We found a wonderful partner organization among us, the Bertalanffy Center for the Studies of the Systems Science, and as a mentor Wolfgang Hofkirchner, who offered us the possibility to hold a symposium within the next European Meetings on Cybernetics and Systems Research in April 2012. It will be a unique opportunity, we heartily invite you all to join us and work with us on the challenge:
“Enabling organizations for thrivability: New perspectives on form, structure and process in favor of human and societal prosperity.”
Please follow the link http://www.emcsr.net/?page_id=493
Please also distribute the calls as wide as possible, there may be others interested in the next journey, or interested in other offers the meeting presents (there will be about twenty different groups meeting within the gathering, some with open invitations http://www.emcsr.net/?page_id=190
If you have PhD students concerned with inter- and transdisciplinary studies and systems please refer them to a unique opportunity, the possibility to be awarded within the EMCSR 2012 PhD Colloquium & Award
This is what you need to do, if you wish to participate:
Just submit an extended abstract and your bio-narrative with the submission system until the 20th January 2012 (!), the symposium will be highly interactive, the publications will be published after the co-creation and will be available online with an up to date open access publishing system!
For all who may not have the time to visit Europe in April 2012, the next event we are already working on will be in Vietnam 2013 facilitated by the ISSS, and we hope we can bond with many of your ventures and adventures during the next two years. We are putting a lot of effort in weaving the red threat, the paradigm changing narrative. So let´s play together! |
