what makes us human?

28 November 2019, Sofia, Leanplum Event Hall

We explore topics around organizations, their next stage of consciousness and how it will look and feel. This event is for the optimists, the brave, and the dreamers.

The event is invite-only at Leanplum office and it will have recordings of the presentations.

about.

If organizations are made of humans, then why do we still look at them mostly from a soulless, mechanistic point of view?

In a constant attempt to become better, businesses constantly go through multiple change programs, mergers, new IT platforms, centralizations and decentralizations, new mission statements, new incentive programs…

… And yet the current way of running organizations is stretched to its limits leading to over-consumption, reckless exploitation of the planet’s resources and higher disillusionment of people from organizational life. The long-term value for shareholders still remains unclear.

It will probably continue this downward curve unless we all realize the need for transformation and go for it.

Why do we still think organizations are like machines operating mainly through objectives and dispassionate rationality?

We know that organizations are not computers but ever evolving living systems and as such life manifests through them in a self-organizing way.

Why do we view human beings merely as resources which should be carefully aligned in order to achieve goals and bring profit?

We know that humans are not assets. They can imagine, create, inspire, explore and learn. They feel, have passion and aspire for self-fulfillment.

The most exciting breakthroughs of the twenty first century will not occur because of technology, but because of an expanding concept of what it means to be human.
John Naisbitt

Can you imagine what organizations could achieve and what work would feel like, if we embrace all this wholeness and complexity?
