8th International SLaM Conference.
Wisdom at Work

8th – 11th September 2011

Why, in the 21st Century, should we be concerned with wisdom? Isn’t wisdom an “old world” concept? We might think of the Greeks – Plato or Aristotle, or the beliefs of other ancient cultures. How could that help us in dealing with situations that are entirely new – globalisation, climate change, the internet, mobile technologies? The vision of contemporary business seldom goes further than competitiveness, power and profits. The SLaM conference asks, is that enough to serve the long-term interests of our society as a whole or our planet, or even our organisations themselves?

In this conference we will step into the question of what wisdom can mean for us today. With our speakers and workshop facilitators we will explore the relevance and importance of wisdom in the workplace. At this point in the evolution of humanity we need a perspective that is broader, more inclusive, fairer and more in harmony with the earth.

NextStep Integral
Integral Community Seminar
Whidbey Institute on Whidbey Island, WA

August 9 – 14, 2011

Are you seeking to co-create integral community from the ground up? Or are you eager to find out how to awaken an existing community you live or work within to greater consciousness? We are alive at a unique time in our human history – a time that calls us to come together like never before, and that asks of us a deeper and broader understanding of the complex dynamics and potential of human relationships. We are alive at a time when creating meaningful, genuine community is not just a personal desire or option, but essential for our shared humanity to continue to evolve and flourish.

Come join integral community experts Terry Patten, Stephan Martineau, John Gruber, Terri O’Fallon, and many more to deepen and enact integral evolutionary community in the beautiful old-growth forest of the Pacific North-West!

What you will experience:
This seminar will provide an inspiring environment to meet, network and learn with a growing community of people who clearly understand that figuring out how the collective can keep evolving toward ever-greater integrity, authenticity, and expression is one of the most powerful ways to begin creating the changes we hope to see in the world. The seminar is itself is designed to engage you physically, emotionally, cognitively, interpersonally, and spiritually.

Some core questions and topics we will be exploring together:
•    What does an integral evolutionary collective look and feel like?
•    What are the developmental stages that groups evolve through?
•    What elements need to be in place for stage transition to occur in a collective?
…and so much more.

Integral Practical Wisdom
Lessons for Management, Leadership and Decision-Making for the 21st Century Organization

Massey University, Auckland

December 2011

We believe that the concept of practical wisdom provides an innovative, interpretative framework within which to address the further development and integration of many important and critical issues and areas of organization and management/leadership studies and practice.  In addition to interpreting practical wisdom as phronesis, whichpoints to soundness of judgement in the choice of means and ends and corresponding action measured by day-today effectiveness, wisdom can serve as a mediating concept for more integral forms of organising and leading. By exploring practical wisdom as a model for integration, we would like this conference/symposium to advance the state-of-the art within leadership and organization research and practice. We are particularly keen on discussing challenges and opportunities for teaching practical wisdom in post-graduate management and business programs as well as private and public sector management training programs.

Global Presencing Forum
Cambridge,Massachusetts

October 2011

Our intent is to create a place where a global community of change practitioners can connect with itself to reveal or uncover and share an ecosystem of transformation. This will be an annual gathering where “points of light” in the work of societal renewal can come together, share projects of all scales, identify who is playing in which fields, see each person’s place in a larger whole, and sense into a collective call.
