Opening Plenary 1

Future Readiness - What's In It For Me?   

When the winds of change sweeps, when a trade route changes course, a civilisation disappears while another emerges. Mega trends are forces that shapes government, buisness & individuals, impacting all aspects of our lives. Mega trends reflect our probable future but it is our interaction with these trends, what we do or do nothing, that becomes our reality.  

1.     What are some mega treands and future drivers ?

2.     If globalisation, demography, technology, urbanisation and such are major forces to reckon with, how do we ride the tide of change and not be swept away by future shocks?

3.     At GSIF2009, futurist Alvin and Heidi Toffler asked an intriguing question: 'How do we even begin thinking about our future?' What really matters in this human race ?

Plenary 2

Co-creating Our Future: A Sensible World?

The last centuries and humanity 1.0 appears to have centred around improving standards of living, material  ownerships and moving from developing to developed countries. Much of human progress is measured in terms of material well being and financial bottomlines, regardless of externalities. Yet economic progress as in the case of China did uplift millions out of poverty and into urbanity – sometimes gaining wealth but losing ties.

Moving forward, in a world where the future is fast and furious and where history is accelerated, the race to the top can become chaotic and an end in itself. This can have dire consequences on our lifestyle, culture, and society. Without a common vision of where the race may take us to, and what anchors humanity, anomie can set in to tear community apart and create unprecedented tension in society adn across all borders.

1.     'The best way to predict the future is to create it', said Peter Drucker, the business guru. How do we co-create a sensible future? If given a chance to co-create our future and design the world that your children live in, what ingredients and values would you emphasise on? In all of our trend-spotting and the hustle and bustle of wealth creation, have we paused to think about our desired common future?

2.     In the face of these future drivers, how is the role and modus operandi of NGOs and NPOs changing?  Is there more or less to do? What type of leadership would we need to build a more inclusive, sustainable and better humanity 2.0?

3.     We all need frameworks and reference points to function properly. What gets measured gets done. What KPIs would you put into the making of this future readiness index? Would an index that combines the GDP + Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness Index + UN Human Development Index + FTSE 30 make any sense?

4.     How can GSIF2010 be the collaborative platform on which the private, public and people sector changemakers will come together to co-create our common future?

SIP-LaSalle Big Idea! 1.1

Be Yourself! Enhancing Leadership Skills:  Developing Your Creativity And Authenticity Through Art Therapy

This workshop will be aimed at enhancing leadership skills through developing a balance between your personal and professional lives and your true self and false self. According to Goffe & Jones (2005) in The Harvard Business Review in Managing Authenticity: The Paradox of Great Leadership: “Leaders and followers both associate authenticity with sincerity, honesty, and integrity. It’s the real thing – the attribute that uniquely defines great leaders.” (P. 87) 

By learning to bring more authenticity through creativity into your work environment and personal relationships one can develop integrity, meaning and texture in the different environments that we live and work in. With this ability leaders can have a positive impact locally and globally on community and work issues in contemporary life.

The Big Idea! 1.2

Incredible India – Evolution & Revolution!

1.     India's Demographic Dividend - According to the International Labor Organization, by 2050, the percentage of people above the age of 65 will be 39% in the U.S., 53% in Germany and 67% in Japan. India, by contrast will have only 19% above age 60. How can India handle this demographic dividend challenge and channel it towards economic growth?

2.     Integration of rural and urban India - How can rural and urban India be effectively integrated? What are the linkages? How can public policy strengthen these links?

3.     When all large nations have progressed from agriculture to manufacturing to services to Information Technology, can India skip manufacturing and services and directly become an IT superpower, when 60% of its population is still agrarian?

MasterClass 1

The Fishy Part of Scaling Up

Without larger solutions commensurate with the enormity of the poverty challenge, the poor will always be with us. Talk is cheap and often theoretical. The cross-cutting hurdle for providers and funders is tactical tools for growing organizational impact, scope and scale. Pragmatically as well as strategically, examine the challenges to scaling anti-poverty organizations.

Collaborative Innovation: Can Knowledge Rework the World?

Imagine, if all knowledge in the world is seamlessly shared, if there is an international database that could identify best practices, model organizations, programmes and development projects that are game-changing, what new opportunities and risks would be uncovered? The open source movement that has moved from cyberspace to the real world, Apache software, alibaba, Wikipedia, Facebook and Twitter are conduits of information built via collaborative innovations, creating game changing killer apps that achieve phenomenal growth and reach. 

1.     What can business, government, NPOs and individuals learn from open source leadership, which has moved from cyber space collaborations to real world partnerships?

2.     How can we leverage on the mindset and methodologies of the open source movement to quantum leap growth?

3.     There are billions of people in poverty and this could be translated into a huge market potential if and when investments are channeled into the areas. How can we collaborate to rework the world?

MasterClass 4.1
How to Make a Culture Creative

Not all cities, not all countries, and not all cultures are equally alive.  When we see one that’s exciting and charging into a wonderful future, what makes it so alive is the happiness of the people, their competence, and their ability to create. And let’s not forget that creativity is big business. Think of all the money made by “Avatar” or “Toy Story 3.” And a beautiful, bustling city attracts high-powered talent and capital. Obviously, a certain amount of stability is necessary to promote a feeling of security, and it’s a requirement for long-range planning. However, if the people of a culture can’t create, they lack vitality, and they can only consume things dreamed up and produced by others. Their culture lags. If a company can’t innovate, it soon finds itself falling far behind competitors who can. For example, Microsoft and Nokia are goliaths - but Apple keeps out-innovating them, and as a result it reaps fortunes while also attracting one of the most loyal brand followings in modern history. There is a common but utterly erroneous notion that creative people are special or different. Not true. EVERYONE can be taught to be much more creative / innovative. To make a culture creative, make its individuals creative. Exactly how this is done is the focus of this master class.

Plenary 5

Imagine the world in 2030!

A group of 200 children were asked to paint a picture of the future they dream - the result were pictures of green, peace, caring, and a humane world. Few drew picture of wealth. Yet, in the course of growing up, puritan values give way to narrow weath creation, resulting in the perpetual challenge of  balancing profit maximisation with sustainable growth in a world where the framework and basis of knowledge and competition are changing fast and furious. Traditional mindsets are constantly challenged as inventions and killer apps emerge faster than we can respond.

1.     How do we cope with such a rapidly changing world and learn to ride the tides?

2.     What attributes should an individual or organisation have to leapfrog growth?

3.     How can we co-create the future we want to live in?
