Last week Friday and Saturday I was at the PionierLabor of the isb Wiesloch and I am still inspired by the many intensive impressions on the topic of Human Economy. The concept of the PionierLabor is honest discussions and joint learning on practical projects in the context of the large, very professional and at the same time - as I was able to experience once again - extremely inspiring and resonant isb community. Greatly organized and moderated by Thorsten Veith, Jutta Werbelow, Katja Baumeister, Conny Patzwald, Ingeborg Weidner, Lisa Meggendorfer, and Almuth Pühra.  

Julia Kessler and Theresa Bihn reported on their experiences with the introduction of agility in corporate structures and how systemic and agile work find a coherent common form. It just fits extremely well together!

Ursula Stein reported on her involvement in the development of social future scenarios with six neighboring communities for the lignite area at Hambacher Forst up to 2100 (WOW! What a period to think about!). What complexity and exciting to see how participation, exchange and securing of results takes place in such a process. Together with the group, it was then about resonance and the question of what process can bring together the rigidity of such public planning projects on the one hand and the complexity and unplannability of such a time period on the other.

Miriam Schilling and Lissi Reitschuster reported with heart and a lot of credibility about VAUDE's corporate culture and the role of the economy for the common good for the management of the company. There's definitely something to learn from for all organizations that think this can't be done. They have also developed a very exciting role concept for leadership, which at its core addresses the fact that leadership is still "overglorified", and it makes sense to make the various roles it contains explicit and better distributed across the team according to inclinations and competencies. A really exciting approach.

Marcus Fink, CEO of the Kreisjugendring München-Land, a public corporation with 32 youth associations, over 500 full-time employees and 1,500 volunteers, together with Susanne Ebert from the SchmidStiftung, gave us insights into the successful transition towards agility. Title: From humanity to performance orientation to humanity.

I was particularly touched by the session with Volker Schuler and Falk Schöller, who once again brought the topic of resonance - a core topic at the isb - tangibly onto the stage. The two of them were able to make it tangible for everyone in the room what real resonance feels like and how it gives rise to essential impulses for organizations. This speaks to us at subject:RESOUL from the heart, and we will stay in touch. A big thank you to both of you for this!

Judith Schmid, Maximilian Rüger, and Patrik Eisenhauer have offered various green Open Spaces on the topic of sustainability. And they know what they are talking about. As a member of plant-for-the-planet.org, Max can tell you a lot about carbon footprints and, for anyone interested, he can also put you in touch with his successor in the role of Corporate Partnerships.

In my keynote in the evening, I was able to report on subject:RESOUL and our own struggle for a humane economy - with successes, crises, dilemmas and the essential background topic of "inner growth". If you are interested in learning more, please feel free to contact me.
