The problem we’re addressing has best been described by Einstein : “We cannot solve our problems with the thinking we used when we created them”.

What problem ? There is evidence abound about the unsustainability of planetary exploitation, deepening social inequality, declining health due to toxic individual and societal stress. Business has a huge stake in its causation. “Business as usual” has co-created these negative impacts.

Businesses remain the dominant drivers of innovation and economic wealth, yet they must evolve to net solve more problems than the “collateral damage” to nature, health, or local communities. There is an accelerating need for “Business as unusual“.

What thinking created the problem ? The list includes shareholder primacy, the homo oeconomicus paradigm, unregulated market & competition, selfishness beats altruism every time and the list goes on …

What thinking is needed ? Quoting 2 thought leaders in the field

• “Conscious leaders are consistently more effective than unconscious leaders” (Bob Anderson, co-founder The Leadership Circle)
• Successful leadership depends on the quality of attention and intention that the leader brings to any situation. Two managers in the same circumstances doing the same thing can achieve completely different results, depending on the state of mind each is in (Otto Scharmer, Theory U)

Research has demonstrated that consciously led companies—those that are purpose-driven, deeply ethical, with humanistic leadership and human-centred cultures, regenerative processes and products create more benefits to all stakeholders, including financial returns to shareholders, than ‘traditional’ companies.

What do we address ? A significant barrier to this transition exists within the educational foundations of leadership. The dominant business paradigms that contributed to the current “poli-crisis” are synthesized and taught in business schools. Our Alliance addresses this by creating a community of like-minded institutions and individuals that started to teach a more conscious way to do business, to share their experiences and best practices with wanne-adopters and co-create innovative Knowing (what is taught), Doing (how to teach) and Being (the professors inner condition) growing more conscious business leaders of tomorrow. United we can make a difference to the way business is taught.
