The future is unpredictable. Increasing complexity of global value creation, climate change, pandemics, wars, and many other factors radically challenge our way of living, cooperating and leading. They undermine traditional visions of the future that we rely on in order to plan, feel secure and gain the confidence to invest in tomorrow.
Transcultural leadership and cooperation must take on the challenges of a VUCA world (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity), and actively shape the futures by establishing new connections and developing commonalities across different cultures. During our Summit, we therefore want to discuss: Where does transcultural leadership stand now? What challenges and opportunities do leaders and organizations face in a VUCA world? How can new visions of leadership contribute to a more sustainable and ecological future? How can we create a more equal world and include missing voices for the futures? How can we create resilient business models and governance structures, fit for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century? What do we want the future of transcultural leadership to look like? How can we improve current leadership development (in organizations, in education, etc.)? Regardless of what the answers to these questions may be, one thing is certain: global challenges and opportunities can only be met by transcultural cooperation and dialogue.
Future perspectives on transcultural leadership and cooperation enable us to critically reflect our assumptions about the future, to free ourselves from preconceived notions and to discover new visions of the future.
