Zero Point Fresk
SYSTEMIC ENGINEERING AND ORGANIZATIONAL EMANCIPATION
Workshop principle
This workshop aims to give participants a broader perspective on the major transformations that humanity is currently going through, based on the model of the Fresco of Civilizations. The objective is to raise awareness that we are going through a decisive period, the “Zero Point”, and to provide keys to systemic engineering to create emancipatory frameworks within the organization.
The workshop is interactive, with time for voting, reflection and sharing experiences.
Educational objectives:
Understand the global context: participants should leave the workshop with a deeper understanding of the major transformations on a civilizational scale.
- Envision possible scenarios: participants will explore the different possible exit scenarios from the “Zero Point” (collapse, transhumanism, neohumanism, techno-utopia transcendence…).
- Develop adaptation strategies: participants will be encouraged to reflect on the performance factors and skills needed to effectively navigate through this transition.
- Role of their organization: participants will be led to realize that the commitment of their organization can contribute to orienting humanity towards a desirable civilizational scenario.
