PlanB is currently investigating the possibilities for establishing an operation in Mozambique, with activities in the fields of organization and leadership development, start up of a training center in Maputo and a number of projects towards the educational system in Mozambique with a special focus on young female leaders.
The country of Mozambique is experiencing a strong economic growth with establishment of the worlds largest coal mine, large aluminium plants, extensive investments in the country from mainly China and Brazil, a growing tourism industry and trade industry with South Africa, among others.This hopefully leads to increased prosperity as well as many new job opportunities in Mozambique. However, this development also creates new challenges for companies in terms of new recruitments, organizational …

Theory U: Leading from the future as it emerges – The social technology of presencing.
In this amazing book, Otto Scharmer invites us to see the world in new ways—and to learn from the future as it emerges. Fundamental problems, as Einstein once noted, cannot be solved at the same level of thought that created them.
Theory U explores a whole new territory of scientific research and personal leadership. By moving through the “U” we learn to connect to our originating Self. We travel down the left side of the “U” to find ourselves in the realm of presencing, where we learn to sense the future that is seeking to emerge. At that level of operating, we experience the opening of our …

PlanB has supported in quite a few change processes in the educational sector. We have worked for individual institutions as well as supported in national educational reforms.
Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert and recipient of the RSA’s Benjamin Franklin award is a source of great inspiration in this work.

I have just rediscovered Margaret Wheatley’s work, as I tend to do now and then. This article introduces how emergence as a change theory, offers methods and practices to accomplish systems-wide change.

Change management is all about activating hidden ressources within the system in order to change behaviours. Play and fun is one of powerful way of doing it which this commercial from VW(or actually DDB Stockholm) visualizes.

Emergent complexity can arise from simple interactions between agents following rules. The complexity that arises is suprising and challenges our assumptions about whether order comes from the top or the bottom.

In our efforts to empower change and transformation in organizations we find great inspiration in the scientific fields of complexity theory and complex adaptive systems (CAS).
Examples of complex adaptive systems include the stock market, ant colonies, the ecosystem, the brain, the immune system and any human social group-based endeavour. There are close relationships between the field of CAS and artificial life. In both areas the principles of emergence and self-organization are very important.
The systems are complex in that they are dynamic networks of interactions and relationships. They are adaptive in that their individual and collective behaviour changes as a result of experience. They change and adapt.
This particular film clip introduces the science of complexity. The clip is from The Cassiopeia Project …
