The industrial model is still embedded in our thinking and our practice. Like the Titanic we have not seriously dealt with the fact that we are sailing in vessels for a past era and form calm and stable seas. Until we realize that trying to make obsolete structures and thinking more efficient still leads to a ship that sinks - we won't change the conversation. Unless we change the conversation we won't change our fundamental beliefs, practices, habits and culture. This is a presentation designed to provoke a conversation around the current urgencies and discontinue our attempts to re-arrange the deck chairs on our institutional Titanic's.
