    Topic:  From Emergency to Emergence

    The COVID-19 emergency is a wakeup call to the profound threat to human wellbeing posed by an economic system that values life only for its market price. The human future depends on a civilizational scale transformation of values and institutions in a mere instant of historical time. The goal is to achieve material sufficiency and spiritual abundance for all humans in synergistic relationship with the living Earth that birthed and nurtures us. This transformation will require a profound rethinking and restructuring of economic and management research, theory, practice, and education.  Through his work as a 'pracademic', whose career has bridged academia and ideas that matter in the 'real world' of practice, Dr. Korten will elaborate on how a living systems perspective can inform our own research and contributions going forward. 


    Additional background and preparation for the conversation:

    Wellbeing versus GDP: The Challenge and Opportunity of Human Development in the 21st Century by David Korten, published online at the International Science Council (ISC) and in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
    The Next Economy: Transforming Economic Systems After COVID-19  recorded panel discussion with David Korten and others by the Institute for Ecological Civilization.
     The Intellectual Shaman series is hosted by IHMA as a Faculty Development format. It is co-sponsored by the Galligan Chair of Strategy at Boston College.
