MODULE 1: GOVERNANCE

Ignite Collective Intelligence

19 March, 19:30-22:00 CET

Organizations are under increasing pressure to radically transform their governance and leadership to remain future-fit. We are in need of a new narrative with a new normal. Now is the time for bold actions and courageous decisions to move beyond ‘business as usual’ and embrace governance for collective thrivability. This module introduces governance as a dynamic, living system rather than a static, mechanistic structure. You'll also explore the foundational principles of thrivability leadership, grounded in a life-centric vision.

Key Topics:

• Introduction to Thrivability based on the Science and Praxis of Living Systems
• Governance as a Living System: Moving from mechanistic goals to regenerative structures
• Governance Compass: Reviewing vision, purpose, values, principles, and commitments
• Leadership for Thrivability: Key qualities, mindset, values, and transformation challenges
• Exercise: Governance evaluation and action plan creation.

Why This Matters

Hierarchical, control-oriented governance models hinder agility and innovation, leaving organizations ill-equipped to respond to rapid change. Dynamic governance prioritizes responsiveness, trust, and collaboration while maintaining accountability.

MODULE 2: CULTURE

Nurture Collective Wellbeing

26 March, 19:30-22:00 CET

Culture is the heart of any organization, and it cannot be forced or imposed. It emerges organically, rooted in deeper structural and archetypal dynamics that often remain invisible.

This module focuses on understanding the systemic conditions, affordances, and barriers of organizational cultures and how to apply living systems principles to foster resilient, empathetic, and thriving cultures.

Key Topics:

• Culture as a Living System: The behavioral dynamics of living systems versus mechanistic systems
• The Human Aspect of Thrivability: Fostering collaboration, empathy, and trust
• Taking Ownership: Addressing and healing shadow dynamics in your organizational culture(s)
• The Power of  Intrinsic Motivation: Creating a culture of self-responsibility, joyful ownership, and thrivability
• Exercise: Practical tools and strategies for enhancing your organizational culture.

Why This Matters

Employee engagement is critical in a world where talent retention and purpose-driven work are priorities. Addressing systemic thrivability barriers and shadow dynamics is essential for cultivating cultures of trust, well-being, and collective thrivability.

MODULE 3: CAPABILITIES

Enable Future Creative Progress 

02 April, 19:30-22:00 CET

Living systems develop their capabilities through networked relationships and by embodying the quantum potentials our universe affords—something vitally lacking in mechanistic systems.

This module explores how to expand and enhance organizational capabilities through the intersections of human, technological, and collective intelligence. You'll also learn how to navigate the opportunities and risks that AI presents for amplifying these capabilities.

Key Topics:

• Evolutionary Learning & Development: Foundational principles and how to apply them to build capabilities for thrivability
• The Role of AI in Learning Organizations: Accelerating learning capabilities through emerging technologies. Navigating opportunities and risks
• Enabling Progress & Breakthroughs: Engaging ways for teams to experiment and share breakthroughs on building a better future. 
• Future Creative Leadership Development: Future trends and building capabilities for resilience and innovation
• Exercise: Review of your organizational capabilities and creating a future skills thrivability plan.

Why This Matters:

Knowing how to expand, enhance, and amplify your capabilities as a thrivable organization and translate those into business results, is essential for future fitness and thriving in a rapidly changing world.

MODULE 4: SYSTEMS

Design Living Organizations

09 April, 19:30-22:00 CET

Organizational systems are perhaps the most critical element in determining whether your organization is thrivable by design—or not. Living systems thrive through dynamic adaptive structures and complex feedback loops, while mechanistic systems create rigid informational flows that hinder innovation and resilience. This module focuses on designing organizational systems as evolutionary systems that can learn, evolve, and innovate from within.

Key Topics:

• System Design for Thrivability: From mechanistic to dynamic, complex systems with interconnected feedback loops.
• Enhancing Systemic Resilience: Understanding of meaningful dialogues and informational flows for systemic learning and renewal.
• Reviewing Your Growth Model: How progress and success are operationalized—shifting from linear to regenerative models.
• Distributive Systems: How your systems allocate and distribute voice, ownership, and value across the organization.
• Exercise: Create a System Map for your organization and identify areas for adaptive improvement.

Why This Matters:
Many organizational systems are built for stability rather than resilience, making them vulnerable to disruption. If your systems are built for mechanistic, extractive growth, it makes your organization unsustainable by design. Design for thrivability is probably the most important investment you can make.
