The 12 Paradigm Shifts That Are Changing Our World- Futurists Peter Leyden And Gerd Leonhard
European Futurist Gerd Leonhard often compares the current times to the turbulent years between 1968 and 1973, when the world last underwent a series of seismic shifts in the way things were done. During this period, not only was there a sense of instability, but also one of liberation, and ultimately, progress. It was a time when 'everything changed'. Gerd proposes that we are entering a similar era, today.
American Futurist Peter Leyden similarly sees the coming decade as marking a rare juncture in history, bringing an unusual number of fundamental system changes that will require a series of paradigm shifts in how the world will now work. He sees these system changes as largely positive and adding up to what he calls The Great Progression that will play out over the next 25 years.
For this special event, Gerd and Peter are teaming up to look closer at a dozen of the most important paradigm shifts of the 2020s that everyone should better understand.

The future isn't science fiction anymore - it is already here, and it is already having an impact on the world around us.
Here are the 12 shifts:
The Mega-Challenge: From a focus on economic issues to a focus on climate and planet
Energy: from carbon (fossil) to clean
Transportation: from combustion engines to electric
Politics: from conservative to progressive and inclusive
Culture: from Boomer/GenX-centric to Millennial/GenZ-centric
Capitalism: from shareholder to stakeholder
Economics: from private sector to public sector
Work: from physical and white collar to digital & virtual (new collar or no collar)
Production: from industrial to biological
Intelligence: from IQ to EQ, from logic to human agency
Geopolitics: from countries and nations to global consciousness
Medical: from sick-care to health care

4th World Science Technology Dev. Forum, China 3 Tickets To The Future!
I was invited to contribute 2 short videos to the 4th World Science and Technology Development in Chengdu, China, virtually, on Nov. 27, 2023.
In my short talks, I addressed the need for a new economic logic, i.e. going beyond GDP, towards #peopleplanetpurposeprosperity and a global consciousness. I also commented on one of my key memes, #theddr : digitisation, #decarbonization and reformation.
