* Life todayFor much of the world, life in our industrial society, fuelled by the extraction of raw materials, is something we like to keep as stable and predictable as possible so that we can strive for continuous growth. We collaborate where it suits us and compete with others for advantage in all realms of life, not just to make money. We have created inert organisations in most sectors, which are efficient and profitable in good times and robust enough to absorb losses when conditions change.* A major transition*The global pandemic has brought very different conditions from those we generally seek to create. More than changing the world, perhaps it has just highlighted and accelerated many trends which were already in place. We are fast moving towards a post-industrial civilisation (Post-Lean Institute), with massive technological, economic and societal changes already well underway.However we are connecting the dots about what is happening in the world, it is increasingly evident in the wake of the widespread authoritarian and often ineffective responses to the virus, that there are hugely complex challenges for all of us. There are also many opportunities too, if we can understand quite how profound these changes are, and the potential they offer.* The best of our times or the worst *Our common and understandable tendency to try to go back to life as it was is not going to work, at least not in the longer term. The ways in which we organise ourselves and interact at scale, rewarding behaviour that streamlines our organisations and aligns them, are driving us into an accelerating race to the bottom. Either we find new ways to make sense of life, co-operate and co-ordinate ourselves, or there won't be much left of our world. What is needed now might be very different to what we know, have been taught and become successful through doing. That means we are going to have to "un-do" a lot of what we hold to be true.
