We are living in a time of unprecedented crisis and breakdown. But amid the chaos, small "islands of coherence" are emerging—localized pockets where change makers are taking action and begin to catalyze multi-system transformation. In this talk Katrin asks: what would it take to allow existing regenerative practices to become mainstream.

Based on her upcoming book co-authored with Otto Scharmer: Presencing: Seven Practices for the Transformation of Self, Society and Business, Katrin will introduce a framework and practices for system transformation. In this book the authors argue that while we see ourselves faced with a polycrisis across different sectors - from agriculture, to education, to health care, to business, technology and to governance, these challenges might share the same root causes. In other words: while most innovators and leaders think about their sector in terms of unique conditions, the actual transformation challenge, might be more cross-cutting and require an upgrade of the underlying operating system. 

This book is based on her work with a global NGO that leads system transformation initiatives across sectors and regions.
