The Annual Gener(ation)al Meeting

What if the legally required AGM becomes not an Annual General Meeting but an Annual Generational Meeting, considering generations past, present and future? What if it evolves to serve generations of humans and of all living beings, as kin within the living ecologies we form together? What if it becomes a gathering not only of shareholders but of careholders? This is the necessary near-future of organizational governance, and the shift is already underway. More of us have ears to hear the wisdom within this fundamentally Indigenous approach to governance. And it’s getting harder to ignore the dire consequences of the dominant, myopic approach. Our legal structures and practices are starting to adapt in response.

Flourishing. Thrivable. Regenerative. Is there a difference?

I’m frequently asked to compare and contrast the small collection of terms that herald the shift to a more life-aligned worldview. But I usually dodge the question. If one of those terms works well for you, there’s little reason for me to try to talk you out of it. The…

Rethinking Self-Organization

For years, I’ve found it encouraging to see the concept of “self-organization” steadily gaining popularity in a wide range of business contexts. After all, my own work focuses on recognizing organizations as living systems, which are self-organizing by their nature. …

The Muddied Waters of Organizational Purpose

Have you noticed how the concept of organizational purpose has become muddy and unclear? In pre-Industrial days, it was understood that a business was nested within a community as well as within a living ecosystem and, therefore, it existed to serve and enhance life at each of those levels. …

Tourism, Hosting & The Practice of Community Wellbeing

As in so many sectors of society, the pandemic has pushed the tourism industry to a point of reckoning. The enforced pause of the past year has allowed the industry to take full stock of its impact on communities and on our natural life support systems. As a result, what…

Think Like a Mother (Or: Why Stakeholder Capitalism is a Dangerous Concept)

I’ve just given a short talk to a corporate audience at a daylong online conference. I was invited to help close out the day with some provocative thoughts. And still, it felt risky and brave. Here’s the description of the session, as it was given to me: This discussion will…

Preparing the Ground for a More Perfect Union

Just over half the US population and much of the rest of the world is puzzling over one question: why would anyone (much less 70 million people) continue to support Trump, given everything he and those associated with him have said and done? …

The 1960s and Today: What’s Different Now and What’s Needed Next

It’s frustrating and disappointing — to put it in absurdly mild terms — that we’re still having to protest the same problems we did in the 1960s. That decade brought so much power to the table, with the Civil Rights movement, the Stonewall riots, the Women’s Liberation movement, the anti-war…

The Past, Present and Future of Freedom

Last week I kicked off a month-long series of discussions with members of New Hampshire Businesses for Social Responsibility. Our topic is “Live Free and Thrive,” a twist on the state’s strident “live free or die” motto and an exploration of the meaning of freedom in these times. …
