What  kind  of  future    Are  we  talking  about?  

A  Knowledge  Society?    A  Learning  Society?  

  Rapid  and  accelera*ng  pace  of  change    Complex  and  turbulent  socio-­‐economic  environment    Ineffec*ve  future-­‐orienta*on  and  short  term  focus:    

           right  now  and  not  next  year    Changing  nature  of  work  and  work  spaces        Stressful  working  and  thinking  environments    Difficulty  to  introduce  new  ways  of  working  in  tradi*onal  

ins*tu*ons    Inability  to  put  new  ideas  into  prac*ce    Compartmentalized  work  and  defending  your  turf    Our  ins*tu*ons  are  outdated  

Is  the  system  broken?  

A  structural  disconnect  exists  between:    •  the  infinite  growth  impera*ve  and  the  finite  resources  of  

planet  earth;  •  the  Haves  and  the  Have  Not's;  •  the  financial  and  the  real  economy;  •  technology  and  real  societal  needs;  •  ins*tu*onal  leadership  and  people;  •  gross  domes*c  product  (GDP)  and  actual  well-­‐being;  •  governance  mechanisms  and  the  voiceless  in  our  systems;    •  actual  ownership  forms  and  best  societal  use  of  property.

Report  on  Intellectual  Capital  of  Poland  

In  2008  Poland  produced  a  Report  on  Intellectual  Capital  of  Poland.  This  ini*a*ve  was  intended  to  call  the  a`en*on  of  poli*cians,  the  media  and  opinion  leaders  to  the  importance  of  the  quality  and  level  of  intellectual  capital  in  the  long-­‐term  development  of  Poland.

Renewal  Capital  

How  well  a  country  or  organiza*on  can  u*lize  its  human,  structural  and  rela*onal  capital  in  order  to  foster  con8nuous  learning,  innova8on  and  development,  in  order  to  sustain  its  compe**veness  even  in  changing  condi*ons  

“CLOSING  THE  INNOVATION  DIVIDE”  OPINION  of  the  Commi>ee  of  the  Regions  

July  2013    

“We  cannot  address  societal  challenges  through  minor  adjustments  and  conven*onal  management  methods.  BoosJng  renewal  capital  is  cri*cal  to  success:  crea*vity,  innova*on  and  the  confidence  to  innovate  and  reform  are  also  the  keys  to  success  for  local  and  regional  decision-­‐makers.”  

 “Regions need new arenas as hotspots for innovation co-creation.

These could be described as "innovation gardens" and "challenge platforms", which together form a prototype workspace for inventing the future.

These are needed to address challenges - from small local challenges to major societal challenges at global level.”
