Before we can lead others in transformation, we need ourselves to make a leap in consciousness first (personal transformation). We need to question our old thinking, individually as well as collectively. And this only happens, when consciously observed. 
Consciousness is the only thing that can change our thinking and our conditions will not fundamentally change if our thinking does not change. The state of the world asks from us to consciously evolve to the next level.
There is a crack, a crack in everything, that's how
 the light gets in.

Leonard Cohen in ANTHEM
Ervin Laszlo calls this a sub-critical state.
"Each wrinkle of disruption threatens the integrity of the whole system:
  • - 400 known crises over 20 years, each at a probability of 5% = average 1/year
  • - BUT linked crises trigger each other. Energy crises, extinctions and population crashes, US debt crisis, Iran nuclear weapons crisis. Glaciers melting, sea levels rising 6 meters.
This Era’s Crises come in bunches and may overwhelm our collective capacity to respond". 
The world is getting Better and Better, Worse and Worse, and Faster and Faster. The accelerating speed of change in both business and technology is forcing us all to look to innovation and collaboration as a crucial path for future growth, prosperity and a better world.
Innovation is as much a mindset as it is a set of principles, practices, skills, tools and techniques. It is a belief in the future; a conviction that things can always be better, confidence in the positive force of new ideas: faith in the power of people working together toward a common objective: trust in imagination, ingenuity, intuition and instincts as well as rational thought.

Whether it's business, government or any other organisation, the time is now to look with different eyes,  align with our desired future and perform beyond our imagination.
