We’re in an era of constant change and disruption. It may not be wholly evident in your workplace, your community or your personal life, but the shift to a new paradigm for all of us is on the way. At the global level, big challenging questions are being asked. About our economic frameworks, our relationship and role with Mother Earth, our consumption and consumerism habits, our societal structures and what role technology plays in all of this.
