?? Resilience goes beyond specific catastrophic events. In today’s hyperconnected world, self-reinforcing change can turbocharge crises - but also allow us to unlock virtuous tipping points towards meaningful change. ?? This clip is from Roger Spitz's interview on the AI Asia Pacific Institute Podcast. Listen to the full podcast at the link in the comments below!

?? The Right Kind of Forum ?? ?? Last week, I had the honor of speaking at the 16th annual Global Peter Drucker Forum in Vienna, where the theme was “The Next Knowledge Work: Managing for New Levels of Value Creation and Innovation.” In an era where traditional models struggle to keep up with our complex, systemic and unpredictable existential world, these conversations felt incredibly timely. ?? Drucker’s teachings, particularly around self-awareness, humility, and the receiver’s mind, are more relevant than ever. His work reminds us not to become trapped in our assumptions and that success is often the poorest teacher of innovation. ??? Held in the majestic Hofburg Palace, the event brought together global leaders, thinkers, and innovators from over 70 countries. The discussions were a deep dive into practical strategies for resilience, systems innovation and sustainable value creation. ?? ?? It’s not every day that you find yourself surrounded by such a high concentration of truly inspiring, curious minds—learners, leaders, professors, and authors alike, all committed to rethinking how to drive sustainable, transformative change. ?? A Moment of Serendipity. ?? I’ve long admired Amy Edmondson’s work, and anyone with an interest in anticipatory governance and innovative complex problem-solving must read Amy’s books. Her latest, Right Kind of Wrong, is a must for anyone looking to transform their relationship with failure. Serendipity struck when I found my own book, Disrupt With Impact, displayed right next to hers in the bookstore. A true honor! ?? Huge thanks to Richard Straub for inviting me and selecting ‘Disrupt With Impact’ for the prestigious Book’s Corner. Heartfelt gratitude to Franziska Graf for the insightful interview on DruckerTV, to Elena Stelzig for producing such a powerful program, and to the entire team for organizing such an impactful event. ?? I had the privilege of sitting at an amazing table during the Gala Dinner—thanks to Julia Hautz, Aakriti Chandihok, and Pierre Liebenberg for the thoughtful and engaging conversations. ??

???? Tradition: When in Rome... or Rather, London! One of the highlights of my recent time in London was attending the installation of our longstanding friend Lars B Andersen as Master of the Worshipful Company of World Traders at the Mansion House. It was an unforgettable evening filled with rich traditions, great friends, distinguished guests, and a wonderful after-dinner speech by Lord Mayor Michael Mainelli, who graciously hosted us in his official residence. ??? Community Spirit & Prosperity: In his speech, Michael highlighted how the local community spirit and traditions of the City of London, the world’s oldest continuous democracy, have created both prosperity and a thriving public realm at the heart of the nation. ?? A Special Thank You to our dearest friend Jenifer: Thanks to Jenifer Andersen’s deep insights and her well-researched book, “Domine Dirige Nos – An Introduction to the City of London,” we were able to decode the many symbols and appreciate the significance of the Company of Pikemen & Musketeers, a ceremonial unit of the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC). It was a real privilege to experience this incredible part of London's history. (Check out the photo of Emilia Spitz and I with one of the Pikemen!) ?? On Change and Constants: In times of change, it’s helpful to reflect on the constants that shape us. The City of London has a unique tradition of self-governance, dating back at least to the 12th century. In a world where change is constant, it raises the question: Is there truly a difference between change and constancy? ?? The Paradox of Impermanence: In Japanese, mujō means impermanence – the idea that everything and everyone is in a constant state of change. It’s a paradox: impermanence itself is a constant, yet everything is always changing. This philosophical reflection reminds us that both change and constancy are two sides of the same coin, reflecting our humanity and the ebb and flow of life. The City of London and its traditions are clearly a manifestation of this paradox of impermanence. #cityoflondon #livery #london #lordmayor #worldtraders #change #constants #life #tradition Photos by Andy Sillett Photography
