At the Global Peter Drucker Forum two sessions stand out for me for their open, inclusive, interactive and co-creative character:
1. The co-creation session “Re-teaming in Motion”
The co-creation session on re-teaming in motion, with Bill Anderson, Michael Lurie, Michele Zanini, Kevin Nolan, and others, was highly inspiring. The room was set up without tables and chairs, which immediately created a more open and participatory atmosphere - thereby strengthening learning. From beginning to end, the moderators actively involved participants through work in very small groups. An example. A question by Kevin Nolan keeps coming to my mind as I think about this great session: "What do we need to consistently do to avoid falling back into hierarchical organizations as well as command and command and control leadership?" The session was followed directly by a stand-up lunch in the room next door. This gave participants an excellent opportunity to continue the conversations in an informal setting, meeting at small tables and exchanging ideas and experiences.
2. The session “Where Will the Next Health Breakthrough Come From?”
The session on where the next health breakthrough will come from was also excellent. One key insight I took away is that we are seeing a shift from healthcare to health including a stronger focus on prevention and the conditions that enable us to live healthy lives. James Mountford moderated the session very competently in a wonderful room called "Wintergarten." Through the large windows of the large room, there were impressive views towards the centre of Vienna. What stood out to me at the session was James Mountford's continuous interest in encouraging participants to share their questions, ideas, and experiences throughout the session. The small tables in the room helped strengthen the conversations among participants and made it easier for people to engage with one another. The very open, inclusive, and participatory approach inspired me so much that, immediately after the session, it felt natural to record a short podcast with Patricia:
What also seems natural to include in this posting is a walk and talk through Vienna on Thursday evening with Lukas Neunteudel-Steyer. During the walk and talk in fresh air, we reflected on what we had learned throughout the day.
