in creating a better life for all

A big warm thank you to all the strategic partners and pioneers who have inspired and stimulated me over the last four years. Please consider these comments as open positive potential inspirations for the next 10 years.

Key topics we have tackled during Initiatives of Change’s (IofC) 2016 TIGE conference - with concrete products and services, which are foundational for a societal framework for the coming decade: • The UN Global Goals and the corresponding 2030 strategies; which are still to be conceived, planned, developed, and executed as an array of aligned and synchronized actions between public and private sectors, NGOs and civil society - Global • Insuring human development throughout life, at Compact, Transparency International, Sustainable all ages, in education and at work, to bring about Brands and Bcorporation.net or Bcorporation.eu. the necessary mindset shifts - HEL, Being at full Potential, www.oiecec.org, Robert Kegan’s “further • Ethical leadership and governance in finance, and reaching in Adult Development” financial and economical inclusion; to have the means and resources for all the points above! • Business as a key societal stakeholder, contributor and beneficiary in the paradigm shifts required to stay within democracy, social inclusive prosperity, • Humanity and the right to a decent life for all - Unconditional Basic Income and meeting human fundamental needs - See Manfred Max Neef

Take heights, change perspectives; enjoy the beauty of nature and allow it to inspire you. Connect the harmony within with the wonderful mountains in the heart of Europe. Listen to the wind, listen to the silence and listen to the inner voice.

Our best ideas are born from intuition, experience, collaboration and the inner voice...


Sustainable Brands, a conference convener of the world’s largest corporations to align them on UN’s Global Goals, starts to go into a very similar systemic integral approach, via 16 insights Aim: integrate into business and embody higher societal purpose, Global Goals, profit and prosperity for all. Without human development, such as Heart of Effective Leadership (HEL) type programs, yoga and

meditation, it might not happen. The current mindset is not there yet. We would need as a society to move towards yellow and teal colours, on the far right, to get there. At least 80 % of all leaders, corporations, organisations are “stuck” below green. Breakthrough can be made with proposals like those of Frederic Laloux, reinventing organisations, or Semco, Ricardo Semler, Brazil.

Integral thinking and action is the only way Integral economics

Note on Swiss politics and leadership:

I particularly like and support the integral and human centric economic system from Ronnie Lessem, Alexander Schieffer and Peter Brew. I participated in the workshop to “meshwork” on these topics with Tony Bradley, Director of Social and Ethical Enterprise Development (SEED) at Liverpool Hope University.

The ‘one step at a time’ political approach of the last thirty years does not create successful transitions; and it certainly will not allow us to reach the accepted INDC Goals.

During the TIGE conference there were joint presentations (workshops) which brought together both customers and consultants to talk about their realised transitions. This allowed two-sided story tellings to take place, which included; theory and practice, process and embodiment, strategy and operational implementation. This allows to demonstrate theory of practice in real time lines, energy and perseverance required: there are no short term simple linear sequential solutions; a systemic holistic approach is required.

What most conventional politicians will do within their comfort zone is to address topics in small sequential linear steps. This does not work with complex topics!! A systemic approach is required, to bring back coherence and transparency for our societal model to become viable, sustainable and thrive-able for people and the planet (see Gallup and Global Footprint Network) We still have taboos in Bern, meaning we do not want to see the limits of some of our beliefs, underlying the system that is in place, which leads to inherent incongruence and incoherences:

• Demography: we are upside down; an inverted pyramid does not allow to maintain an This is a best practice that should be followed for economical and social system based on growth any transition projects. • Social system: it is out of breath, because of the inverted pyramid demography and the slowing down economy, expressed by lower salaries and number of people employed • Endless economic growth is still our credo: we want to grow our population to 10 million inhabitants over the Geneva- Romanshorn axes, economically fueled by constructions of housing and infrastructure, based on the current ‘money creation’ - debt - crisis system meaning more debts for more people, and going through the same ups and downs, since the recurrent crisis schemes between 1990’s and 2008 (see Aldo Schorno) This image was taken at the Initiatives of Change TIGE Conference Centre in Caux this summer.


Part 2: Possible economical transitions and transformations to thrive together From a meta perspective we have brought forth the following basic principles: real economy • Must be fed by a reinvented “direct financial” system, disconnected from speculation. Indeed today less than 20% of all the money created lands in the real economy - true over the last 30 years! During 2001-2008 it was even less, around 7 % only!

levels. Why not via and around schools as well? Could the transcendental purpose of business become, over time, to contribute consciously to these 17 UN Global Goals, by participating and inviting their extended value chains to do so too? Making a profit while fostering prosperity and thriveability is obviously not only OK, also a given. More examples and contributions from TIGE include projects presented by Sir Mark Moody-Stuart:http://uk.iofc.org/how-businesses-are-responding-uns-sustainable-development-goals

A road to a flourishing future


Part 2: World View

As a human race, we need to meet the Global Goals by 2030. The art and science is for the public organisations and private companies, together with their communities, to knit these words and concepts into actions for all mankind, to win. This can only be achieved by writing common and aligned systemic strategies.

These mind boggling topics might allow us to discover a ‘red thread’ and guidelines for the next 15 years. To work within the spirit of the founders, and in the context of 21st century challenges and possibilities. Working together in an inclusive form, with many IofC arms and legs, together, as we acknowledge the different complementary and necessary pieces of the puzzle. They all make sense, add human value and are humanizing to those who are touched by them.


From a Mono-Capital... The way we perceive, think, decide and act today is based on a silo mindset in business and society; it has consequences.

This is a way to make these accounting considerations more visual and simpler to follow: Capitals & perspectives

People capitals social

Planet capitals environmental

Profit capitals economic

Externalities & intangibles are not taken into account

Partially taken into account: CO2, emissions, …

People are costs, variables, coggs, productivity producers … not valued, not optimized

we are in an extractive model, fueled by lowest cost production, over consumption, consumerism

Part 4: What can Switzerland bring to the global stage? We also understand that Switzerland can and should play a unique role by leveraging our direct democracy! We can and have the unique responsibility worldwide to pave the way for another future, truly regenerative for people, planet and prosperity! Here are some Swiss citizen initiatives we should be proud to develop and implement here. They are also translated into English to become eventually also examples for other countries and their civil society movements. We can prove that it can be done, in faith harmony, by unleashing the human, organisational and social potentials.

Philip Koenig Bio:

Presented by Burning2Learn Born and raised in Geneva, Switzerland, Philip had a first transformational experience spending a year in the US at age 17. His following life and conscious evolution steps could be summarized by: Master in Physics at EPFZ, Zuerich, Switzerland. A period with Swiss Army, meeting Inuits in Greenland and lots of mountaineering, cycling and skiing. 10 years of Marketing career with Nestle in Latin America, holding different positions in Venezuela and Argentina, living and leading in crisis and influencing Brands positioning.

and from a human perspective - engagement, leadership, education. Worked with McKinsey, Booz, Kaiser, Ducker, Corporate Executive Board on market research, strategy and think tank.

Since 2012, Philip has co-initiated praneo based on his own know-how, drive for continuous improvement and by seeking the next frontiers of consciousness and knowledge. Philip is now convinced that removing organizational, cultural and human obstacles is possible. The key is to be in touch, meet and collaborate with pioneer individuals and organizations in order 12 years of strategy and business development to drive transformational changes. This will achieve career with Caterpillar based in Geneva Switzerland a more people-centric and meaningful life; where and Peoria, IL, USA, significantly contributing to business, education, capitalism, economy, democracy design and development of circular economy, and ecological, financial and human sustainability sustainable business model, customer centric value are at the service of people. propositions, brand and organizational repositioning,

Working around the world with one aim

“My work and experiences have taken me around the world. This has helped me to add cultural mindsets to my systemic thinking. I feel that spiral dynamics (values system based approach found by Clare W Graves in 1978) is an under-used tool in this complex world we live in.

for transformational change do exist to face these challenges in a very concrete way.

Many of us have been driven by and judged on wealth creation over the last 50 years. However 21st century thinking encourages people to start talking about and valuing other types of capital. These include environmental capital and health and wellbeing of employees, for example. Whilst companies often feel unsure about how to apply these levers, the tools

The art, and science, is to take time to listen to the inner voice and reflect on wisdom from around the world.

10 years of TIGE has reinforced my belief that society does have the means for mankind to evolve into 21st century thinking.

We must then begin to act, not for self, but for the common greater good.� - Philip Koenig
