| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | By the turn of the millennium, the dominant idea was that not only should the business of<br/>business be only business, but countries, governments and civil society organizations should also<br/>be run on principles of business.<br/><br/>Soon, the realization that, while economies had been growing, systemic problems of social inequality<br/>and environmental unsustainability were becoming intolerable, led to the Sustainable Development<br/>Goals, which all countries signed up to achieve. A new toolkit is required to attain these goals that<br/>go beyond the precepts of good business management and prevalent best practices in government<br/>as well as civil society organizations.<br/><br/>In Transforming Systems, Arun Maira stresses that a new toolkit has to be founded on disciplines<br/>of systems thinking, ethical reasoning and deep listening. It should focus more on concepts of<br/>governance of networks, rather than the management of organizations. Diverse points of view<br/>must be heard and valued, not smothered beneath technology-driven quantitative data analysis.<br/><br/>Maira brings the wealth of his knowledge and experience to highlight the uncertainty of our<br/>future that is bound to change dynamically, and points out how we can cope with the changes.<br/>He insists that the most useful life skill for young people is to learn how to be lifelong learners,<br/>sensitive to their own evolution within an evolving system. |
