Transformation
“Our future, ourselves, our planet and our stories, it’s all entangled” ― Festina LentÍvaldi*
On this page you’ll find stories about transformation. Enabling it. Helping to catalyse future potentials, alleviating much suffering for all.
Six values: Sandra Waddock on next economies
Our next narrative, meta-story is a much more life-affirming economics. It offers hope and life and is based around complexity and systems.
Transformation: Steve Waddell on new economic norms
A new economic meta-story. You-I-we are creating it and moving from GNP to how we share, collaborate, support each other’s happiness and achieve our own.
Steve on supporting experimentation and connecting to really give birth to this next economy for the majority of us.
It takes a village: Glenn Page
It takes a village. That’s the new paradigm.
We’re never going to be able to work through current meta crises as individuals. Glenn Page talks on creating the wellspring for collective seeing.
About transformations
Transformations is about emerging change—our world’s destabilising as some things get exponentially worse, some exponentially better. It can’t last and futures that encompass interlinked pieces—e.g. climate emergency solutions such as women’s access to education for fairness, equity and beneficial carbon drawdown—are what we can create.
If this sounds like a new level of thinking, it is! A paradigm shift, triple-loop change and new business models.
This page started with the Transformations 2019 conference in Chile. On the last day, Friday, 18 October, Santiago exploded. What’s happening in Chile mirrors pain and trauma around the world.
You’ll see Chile posts cover the events as well as interconnections and what we can do to help catalyse new futures, large system changes, justice and to address emergencies (including climate).

Global sunsets: the kosmos from my floor
My world has become both small and expansive. It’s contracted to a room with a view of the kosmos. Yet the paradox is it does not feel small.

Make haste – slowly, powerfully, minimally
“Hasten slowly” said Augustus. Oh, this is hard. To imagine what can be created, to hold back, to act; to engage means delving into both despair and hope. That’s where we’re challenged to see the powerful in what we do which is always minimal and micro. Feeling adequate in the face of manifest inadequacy. Weaving together the pieces that hasten, slowly and steadily, benevolution.
