There’s a lot coming at us nowadays: disruptive technologies, transformation of organizations and dizzying ways to collaborate and co-create. Which are also converging into and almost endless stream of new possibilities. That we are entering an unknown future is an understatement.

To grasp this and gain insights in the simultaneously exciting and frightening potential the future holds the WABI SABI GAME has been developed. In this game you’ll sequentially pass trough three different era’s in which you’ll experience how learning itself changes and what becomes possible. The game requires you to adapt to new circumstances that calls for different behaviour from its players.  By reflecting on this afterwards you’ll become aware of the implications for you, your organisation and society.

In this regard we are inspired by the Wabi Sabi philosophy: nothing is eternal, nothing is perfect, nothing is finished. By looking through that lens it becomes clear that society is a dynamic whole. Learning to let go is therefore a natural part of the process. However it is not something we do easily. When the rules of the game change we (unconsciously) take them with us to a new era. That’s where we want to help people out and to step into their own power. It is the conscious choices that you and I make that allow us to shape our future. This is how we look at innovation, as a way to help people in some way: to enlarge their awareness as an individual.
