How genuine dialogue can change us and our world

Theory U – a promising new way to view – and make – the future

September 7, 2016 in blog post Comment

I recently came across Theory U and Otto Scharmer, a Senior Lecturer at MIT. From the Theory U website:

“Theory U proposes that the quality of the results that we create in any kind of social system is a function of the quality of awareness, attention, or consciousness that the participants in the system operate from.”

Could not agree more. There are many videos on YouTube on Theory U and Scharmer. This one gives a brief overview of a free course Scharmer offers online, which I have signed up for:

I will report back after taking the course.
