In the complex, interconnected societies of the modern world, our old tribal ways of thinking no longer serve us well. We need to rethink our thinking.
Theme: Rethinking our thinking
Format: Knowledge Café
Location: Face-to-face, Zoom or Microsoft Teams
Duration: 120, 90 or 60 minutes
Introduction
This Café is one in a series of Knowledge Cafés on Conversational Leadership that I run face-to-face, on Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
Each Café is themed on material from my online blook on Conversational Leadership.
If you are unfamiliar with the Knowledge Café concept, this event is participatory, though I can run it as a webinar.
Theme
Knowledge Management did not start in 1991 or thereabouts.
It began 50,000 years earlier with the cultural Big Bang and the emergence of language when we first learned to speak.
We could now faster pass down our knowledge from generation to generation through cumulative cultural evolution rather than the biologically slower genetic process.
Today, we live in two worlds World #1 is the old world, the natural world in which we lived and evolved for 200,000 years.
World #2 is the New World, the sociotechnical world we have constructed over the last 250 years since the first industrial revolution and particularly the 75 years since the start of the digital age.
In the complex, interconnected societies of World #2, our old tribal ways of thinking no longer serve us well.
We need to rethink our thinking.
Format
In this Café, I talk about the theme for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the participants and the time available, and then pose the Café question
How do we rethink our thinking?
We then go into Café mode.
Reading Material
This post in my blook is optional reading material for the participants before or after the Café.
