   Lego serious play for transformation with Suleander Zahn

   Join me on the journey to new work and sustainability! Imagine your organization as a living system (not a machine) designed for people to thrive, grow, innovate, and laugh. Bringing themselves and your business forward. I believe we can create better working environments and companies that are better for communities and for the planet!

This podcast if for: leaders, HR and sustainability managers, agile folks, and everyone who wants to make a difference inside the workplace, while protecting our planet. Episode 8: Lego serious play for transformation My guest today Suleander Zahn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/suleander ) spends his time changing hats between being an Agile Coach, mentor, trainer, but his preferred one is the hat of a facilitator. He is part of many agile related communities, organising meetups face to face especially in Portugal, but some online too. On the personal side, he also likes changing actual hats (He owns a small collection of them). He also enjoys long walks in the nature. But when playing and facilitating with Lego bricks, those are the moments when he completely bonds the Professional and Personal sides into one. Our topic: Lego serious play for transformation “Your hands know things that your mind never imagined or that at least you didn’t know you knew”. Lego serious play is a problem-solving method. It allows you to tap on various sources of your creativity and join forces with your colleagues when solving a team challenge, designing your vision, transforming your team or organization, or developing your strategy. A facilitator guides you through four core steps: 1) facilitator poses one question or challenge, 2) everybody in the room builds something with lego bricks answering the question/challenge, 3) everybody shares what they have built, and 4) everybody reflects on what they have shared, what the others have shared and what they have discovered in the moments of building, sharing, and reflecting. We repeat these steps many times during one session, and we go through seven application techniques. We go from individual models to shared models where we combine the models of various participants. We move from stories to metaphors to get in the end, what we call some real time strategy, overall guiding rules, or principles. Get out your bricks and join this hands-on journey with us!

   A new narrative for a grand transition w Guido Palazzo

   Join me on the journey to new work and sustainability! Imagine your organization as a living system (not a machine) designed for people to thrive, grow, innovate, and laugh. Bringing themselves and your business forward. I believe we can create better working environments and companies that are better for communities and for the planet! Therefore, in this podcast you can explore: cutting edge new work practices and sustainability practices for your organization, for your team, and for you as a leader hands-on conversations with international pioneers in new work and sustainability new insights, ideas, perspectives, methods, tools, skills, hacks, learning nuggets so we can all get out of our silos and learn from each other! This podcast if for: leaders, HR and sustainability managers, agile folks, and everyone who wants to make a difference inside the workplace, while protecting our planet. Episode 7: A new narrative for a grand transition My guest today Guido Palazzo is Professor of Business Ethics at HEC Lausanne. He has studied business and philosophy and did his PhD in political philosophy at the University of Marburg in Germany. In his current research he examines, how societies and organizations construct imaginaries that guide behavior. What if we understand the multiple crises, the world is facing as a storytelling crisis? What if the ecological transition depends not only on new technologies, but also and maybe in particular on our ability to craft a new narrative? Our topic: A new narrative for a grand transition How do you include a dolphin as a stakeholder in your business? And how do we care as business leaders and employees about multiple crisis of the world and change our behavior to embark on the grand transition? In this episode we talk about the power of positive narratives to shape the transition and tackle our climate crisis. Guido connects, how to create a positive narrative of transition with practical tips for leaders, how to implement and use positive narratives for their sustainable business transition and have representatives of animals and nature in boards of companies. A doomsday narrative is less powerful than a positive narrative. Positivity makes us move if the new narrative is connected to reality and has functional value for organizations and the society at large. He is critical about AI control mechanisms which are guided by the belief of exercising control in complex systems and efficiency. Instead, he suggests the importance of collaboration, connectedness and giving agency to nature to navigate in the grand transition, achieve a mindset shift and a personal emotional connection with the transition.

Her daily work makes her an expert for many different aspects of sustainability in the global textile supply chain.

For this end she works with producers, retailers, brands, politicians, consumers. Connect with her via email or give her a call (https://naturtextil.de/en/home/). Our topic: Circular Economy How do we shift from a linear economy to a circular economy? Why should circular economy matter in your organization? How can you embark on this endeavour? What steps you can take to make your business circular? In this episode we talk about why and how circular economy is important for organizations. We illustrate this with the textile sector. We suggest when introducing circularity, besides the tools, technology, and investments, it is a major mindset shift. We need to think design, sourcing, production, distribution, and end of life cycle differently! And we need to start co-creating and collaborating with our stakeholders to achieve this transformation.

    Deep democracy meets organizations w Virginia Anderson

    Join me on the journey to new work and sustainability! Imagine your organization as a living system (not a machine) designed for people to thrive, grow, innovate, and laugh. Bringing themselves and your business forward. Rather than reducing our negative impact, how about spawning new systems and structure to create more value, and constructively contributing to life’s evolution. I believe we can create better working environments and companies that are better for communities and for the planet!

This podcast if for: leaders, HR and sustainability managers, agile folks, and everyone who wants to make a difference inside the workplace, while protecting our planet. Episode 1: deep democracy meets organizations My guest today: Virginia Anderson, a highly appreciated colleague of mine, leadership and performance coach, consultant and trainer. Virginia lives in Luxembourg and works in Europe. Connect with her on LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/virginia-anderson-mba-pcc-orscc-cac-cpcc-68804811) and find out more about her work (http://matrix.lu/). Our topic - Deep democracy meets organizations: What is wrong with asking your team? How do you create a space for all voices to be heard in your organization? And why do we need this? In organizations people need a space to have a voice! One way to create a space where all voices can be heard is the process work and systemic constellation work approach called “deep democracy” by Arnold Mindell. An experienced coach facilitates deep democracy and supports the team, department, or organization through the process and the debrief. You can use it in leadership development, team development, organizational development, in a change, or transformation process. In this episode we discuss the what, the why and the how exactly of a deep democracy process in organizations and for teams. Resources we mention: Arnold Mindell (2014) Sitting in the Fire: Large Group Transformation Through Diversity and Conflict. Anne Rød/Marita Fridjhon (2020): Creating Intelligent Teams: Leading with Relationship Systems Intelligence.
