The document discusses the need for a new sustainable economic model based on collaborative and systemic growth for future generations. It highlights several challenges facing the current economic system such as climate change, resource depletion, and social issues. The author proposes nature-inspired solutions like biomimicry, circular economy models, and tapping into underutilized resources. The key is shifting from individualistic to collaborative intentions and prioritizing immaterial and human values over just material growth.

3. An old way of thinking
is sinking…
the man-made world
based on ego,
dependance and
power
… let’s get organized.
Women and children
have the key: candor
and feminine qualities

4. A few challenges we’ll have to deal with…
Demography and generation issues
Check-mate economical models
Climate change and global warming
Terror and war for resources
Collapsing financial system
Ecology
Energy
War for talent and need of new competences
Hyper regulation, complexity and risk
Social housing
Poverty
Adapted education
Hyper-competition on saturated markets
Unethical governance and political incoherence
New illnesses
Stress, burnout, depression
Food shortages
Rising nationalisms
Human values crisis
Impossible to deal with them linearly one after the other, only systemically

5. Graphs don ’t lie

6. We have planted and
nourished crops with
the only intention of
individual material
growth

7. It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer,
or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their
regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to
their humanity, but to their self-love, and never talk to
them of our own necessities, but of their advantages.
Adam Smith
Book I, Chapter II, pg.19
We’ll have to shift from egocentric intentions to collaborative intentions

8. Having reached the natural limits
of the land plot, life can go on,
but with a new intention:
collective prosperity…
A mature forest is full of life !

9. Immaterial growth NEW growth
Collaborative OLD growth
systemic growth
NEW growth
 87% of the value of companies is immaterial (S&P500), can go up to 99%
 Immaterial value = human & societal added value
 Stakeholders models
 Systems theories

10. The only and single intention of acquiring material value
will leave the place for colaborative and immaterial value
growth – but it will need a shift in intention and thinking

11. Lets transform Nature inspired
today’s challenges with its
into tomorrow’s models
opportunities
A few cornerstones for a
sustainable economy and
society…
All of it has scientific
backing & evidence, and
field benchmarking !

12. Biomimicry
Natural models
Sustainable models
Cyclic models
Bio-economy

13. The boat has missed the port,
heading a perfect storm with lots of energy
The solutions are inside the problems:
Transform today’s challenges into tomorrows resources

14. We always want to control everything and protect the
assets… but now we’ll have to learn to turn a storm into
energy for new growth for new prosperity for people &
planet

15. Therapy
Coaching
Alchemy
Law of offer & demand
Work can only be done if there is a demand
Unleashing blockings => unleashing energy

16. As the butterfly metamorphosis,
we can change in 7 steps
Change energy comes from grassroot = YOU
(soft transition)

17. The caterpillar has eaten a lot, and now is going to rest for
its metamorphosis… our society has eaten too much too.
We now are in a global shift where completely new
models and values are emerging – with our without you,
whether you want it or not.

18. Imaginal cells hormonal metamorphosis
Organic business transformation
Bottom-up models
Open source, crowdsourcing models
Non-patriarchal methodology
Participative methodology
Appreciative inquiry

19. After the fire, new fertile life emerges
Re-born from our ashes - we re-invent our models from scratch
(hard « blue ocean » disruptive transition)

20. Some huge power-based organisations are collapsing.
Whether you like it or not. But from those ashes new life
is already emerging – because the needs are still there
and they have to be met with other resources. Be part of
it !

21. Blue Economy (G. Pauli)
Blue Ocean Innovation
Cleansheet innovation
Disruptive models
Examples in history:
steam engine, coal, oil, internet revolutions

22. To do more with less, we should activate
hidden and underused resources
sit down and make deals with your Stakeholders

23. We all know that we’ll have to do more with less… but
there are lots of underused resources everywhere:
knowledge, motivation & engagement, real estate and
premises, machinery, raw materials, talent,… find them
and activate them for your project. It’s all pure profit for
people, for planet and for projects.

24. Stakeholders models
Stakeholders matrix
Stakeholders management
Stakeholders theory
Formal and informal networks
Systems theory
Activating underused and hidden resources:
- Human talent
- Materials
- Valorizing waste in cycles
- Buildings & machines
- Crossing sciences and knowledge
- Tap into entrepreneurial drive

25. As in the human being, companies and
communities have value balance sheets on 7 levels
instead of one
Assess value and liabilities, on different levels, in hard currency

26. We are all hypnotized by money and material value. But
there are other levels of value where there is true value –
it’s also a detour which has to be understood to create
tangible value. Let’s learn together how it works.

27. What truly drives an organisation or country is vision,
trust, identity, values, prosperity on several levels
Intangible assets & liabilities (Sveiby)
87% of the value is immaterial (S&P500)
Environmental impact balance sheet (sustainable
development)
Detect and use the true value of an organisation to
create value in the system
Learn about how immaterial value flows through
organisation and systems

28. ASSETS LIABILITIES
Contribution Destructive role
Knowledge Knowledge liability
Good communication Bad/no communication
Emotional capital Emotional liability
Unefficient unsustainable process
Efficient sustainable process
Tangible values Debts
Earth value Earth destruction

29. Breathing of an organisation or country:
Vision flows down into action, with motivation,
well communicated, with efficient processes
Intelligent actions create value on all levels, not
only on material levels.
It’s precisely the understanding of the immaterial
processes, on where and how true value is created
that we can assure material perrenity and
corporate health.

31. It would be a crime to stick to very low leverage and ROI
of our investments, especially when we have tremendous
potential available.

32.  Invest 1€ in paying back the bank, 0,95€ is settled
 Invest 1€ in planting a tree, 5€ of CO² is harnessed
 Invest 1€ in creating a strong mobilizing vision, 5€ of value is
created
 Invest 1€ in knowledge and generating good ideas, create over
100€ of ROI
 Invest 1€ in good communication, create 10€ of value
 Invest 1€ in motivating your people, create over 20€ of value
 Invest 1€ in making processes more efficient, get 2€ of ROI back
Investing in immaterial value gives you multiple ROI
But… do it intelligently, understanding what are the pre-requisites
and respect logical steps

33. As the iceberg, the hidden immaterial
value carries the manifested value
5 value levels out of 7 are immaterial,
the invisible 87 to 97% of the value

34. As antimatter is invisible, immaterial value, corporate
spirit, human talent is also invisible.
We have to learn how to have access to that.
And experiment new methodologies to have that
potential contributing to prosperity.

35. As most of the true value is invisible, we have to learn
what is the shape and the size of what is « carrying »
the organisation or country.
In case we want to influence the visible part, the
bottom line.
In case we want to anticipate what is coming (a flip…?)
In case the material part becomes slippery

36. Human talent is like a juicy, life-giving carrot
But only a fraction of their potential is used – often undetected
= the biggest waste in history

37. Over 75% of the working people do not like their job, and/or are
bored
Over 30% of the working people are in stress, anxiety, burn-out or
long term absenteism
Payroll in western countries have never been so high
It’s like leaving the windows open in a very well insulated heated
house
Managers estimate the use of the potential of their people at 40 to
70%. It’s a global waste of 30 to 60%
Actualized, for the western world, it is a negative value of approx.
225.000 billion$
Bringing this to zero and valorizing the best in people could create an
additional net societal value of approx. 600.000 billion$

38. Tomorrow’s world understanding
- 3D systemic models for thinking & working
- Matriarcal models (feminine qualities)
- Creative & intuitive prefrontal brain
- Space for emergence, feeling driven
- Immaterial, invisible & collaborative value
- Human added value - Yin
- Holistic-sustainable driven
- 87% to 97% of the total value
Yesterday’s world understanding
- 2D linear models for thinking & working
- Patiarchal models (masculine qualities)
- Limbic and reptilian brains
- Structure and control, action driven
- Material, visible and individual accumulated value
- Material added value - Yang
- ego-driven
- 3% to 13% of the total value

39. We are brainwashed to be dependant, to participate in a world which
concentrates money and power into a few hands.
Education, illness business, banking and mortgages, industrial agriculture and
nutrition, politics, religions, etc, all point in the same direction: concentration
of power.
Individual consciousness rize, contributing communities, national visions, will
eventually activate the best out of every person so they can contribute to
global prosperity for all.
But we first have to learn basic sustainable principles, and decondition
pourselves towards autonomy, and afterwards we can do our personal
homework to detect and activate our specificity, then find the way to humbly
contribute to global prosperity.
We need visionaries and leaders to communicate to the public and make
them conscious of their capacity to develop the best and contribute. Alone
we can do nothing. Together we are capable of the wildest dreams.

40. Expiration is the antimatter of manifestation
LIABILITIES =
potentiality
ASSETS =
manifestation
Constant inverse impulse is the key to healthy body
and healthy company – fearful but salutary

41. Once in a while we have to stop and think… reconnect to the essentials, to
our roots and highest vision:
Letting go old ways of thinking and working, become open to the new, fresh
ways of creating value.
We cannot open to the new if we are full of ego, certainties and
conditionings.
Letting go is frightening but a compulsory winter towards the new spring and
summer. This is how we can fill-up with new strong energy
As the blood recirculates with new oxygen, the tree nourishes its roots in
winter to become stronger, exhaling makes us ready for new fresh air.
As an individual, a community, a country, we also have to do this, together.
Collective intelligence, action communities, CSR, purpose and vision, … take
time and space to emerge.

42. Sustainable models are cyclic

43. Nature shows us how to make cyclic business models
Water cycles, from fruit to compost, life and death, seasons, …
Cradle to Cradle
Turntoo
Sustainable development
CO²-Compensation
UHDR UniverseCity Resources Systemics
…
are the first examples of this applied intelligence
Every family, community, city or country can do this.
Every waste can become a resource
Every underused resource can be used to create value

44. As the tree offers its fruits to the environment,
you and your company can be a gift to your
surrounding and contribute to common good
Purpose and serving = n°1 motivator

45. For complicated tasks, asking creativity and conceptual
thinking, money rewards demotivates, but…*
Autonomy/engagement (desire to be self-directed),
mastery (urge to get better at stuff) and purpose
(transcendant) are the strongest motivators for action
and activating talent.
Where are the inspiring leaders hiding ?
We all can and should calibrate our vision on a higher
purpose, it will pull up the talent.
*M.I.T., University of Chicago, Carnegie Mellon (funded by Federal Reserve Bank)
Daniel Pink

46. Out-of-comfort perturbing elements
Chaos and schock is beneficial – challenging unsustainable balance for the better

47. Push our thinking from reptilian and limbic brains into the prefrontal brain
Discover new creative ways of thinking, doing and creating new value.
You cannot solve a problem with the same way of thinking it created it.
Albert Einstein
We have to allow ourselves to experiment the totally new – it starts with our
decision to do so, passes though an actual experience, and ends up with
learning – collectively.

48. Crowd achieves much more together,
coherently, than sum of individuals
Open source & crowdsourcing
With common purposeful vision

49. Incoherence in the goalsetting provokes gigantic waste.
Mobilizing troops starts with a common purposeful vision
Then calibrate together a concrete mission
And set a sequence of smart goals
It all starts in the heart: what do you feel or want to feel, aspire ?
Serve common good with this feeling
Calibrate vision for this service
Communicate this vision
Develop motivation and passion
Detect and develop knowledge and competences
Develop processes, project management
Measure success at every milestone

50. True power lies in opening and
protecting space for emergence
The new can only grow if it’s nurtured

51. The earth teaches us that we should be respectful for the soil, work and
nurture it, seed it, and then be very patient – don’t rush the crop.
It’s the same for preparing a birth
We have to learn to open quality space for emergence of the self, of
collective intelligence and creativity, for quality communication,…
It’s a feminine quality.
It takes:
1. Quality time and continuity
2. Protected physical space
3. Emotional non judgement and open mindedness
4. Clear rules

52. Your unique qualities and drive to achieve to come
from your roots (history, family, life, origin)
Knowing, respecting, developing
and loving yourself is step nr 1

53. From where does a tree get his energy for growth ?
1. The sun Consciousness & love
2. Its roots Your story & events, family,
fatherland, ancestors,…
3. Water and nutrients Chi, vital energy, grounding
4. Exchange with environment Systemic exchanges

54. The supreme key …
Pivot of all life, the beginning and the end
beginning = drive to create
end = love & meaningful experiences

55. Driving people by fear has limits.
We have reached them.
People want purpose and want to be able to be
empowered and to love life.
It’s now.

56. Any religion, spiritual, chaman, prophet, will tell you the same…
« open your heart »
Why ?
Because its the cradle of life and manifestation energy
The beginning:
Start a new project, get on with our lives, create something,
starts with passion
The end:
The only things we will remember the last day of our lives…
Marshall Rosenberg,…

57. We need a very simple model:
2 rules: (a) equidistance
(b) in case of danger, the first one to see it swims into the group

58. The complexity of our cumulated challenges can
only be dealt with in a very simple way…
A simple method, with 2 basic principles, putting
human being needs in the center…

59. Health
Education & Training
Food: Agriculture & Nutrition
Sports
Mobility
Habitat & Construction
Co-entrepreneuring
Finances - accounting value
Tourism
History, Arts & Culture
Politics, steering, governing, management

2 rules: (a) value on 7 levels
(b) every project should transform liabilities into assets in its system

61. New business =
based on crossing hidden and underused resources with needs
They are creating value on several value levels, with several
stakeholders who then are included in the model, and contribute with
their resources
The biggest recent successes are actually doing this.

62. But… the qualities and values needed to
succeed these models:
« Head »
Serve common good (CSR)
Systemic and cyclic thinking and working
Creative entrepreneurship
Recognize and develop talent & competences
Open mindedness
Collective intelligence
« Communicate » « Processes »
Create and communicate mobilizing vision Flowingly creating value on several levels, and
Fluid interpersonal, internal & external measuring it
communication Systemic project management
Open collaboration
« Heart »
Trust « value vehicle »
Solidarity Multiple currencies and value assessment
Understanding history and feling people’s
particularity
Passion and optimism
Open heartedness

63. No time any more to train people on these qualities,
we have to work and learn on the job,
enabling mobilizing ventures
Now it’s up to you guys… 
But, we’re here to help transition
