Unlocking the Power of Belonging Digital Summit

If people only knew how to master changes in their lives and organizations?

How that would increase the everyday happiness and business performance around the world?

Welcome to enjoy a session on Transformation Algorithm for Human Happiness at the World Happiness Foundation 2-day digital summit on Unlocking the Power of Belonging. Join some of the leading researchers, educators, and community builders, along with the workshop facilitators from over 40 cities worldwide!

Over the last years, we have quite naturally arrived to an evolutionary point, where we know enough about our human nature to start becoming the masters of our own transformations. Yes, there is still a long way ahead to study details and particular effects in various contexts. Nevertheless, we have made a huge leap in demystifying ways for elevating personal identities and profoundly enhancing corporate leadership.

We have uncovered a transformation algorithm for human happiness.

It streamlines our understanding about human potential and capacity to achieve any desired long-term changes. The good news is that everyone already has an inherent wisdom of change, called a transformation gene. Thus, the remaining task is only to activate and make it work sustainably. Join and see it for yourself!

RBS University Preparation Centre

Welcome to join a guest lecture on Becoming the Masters of Change at the University Preparation Centre of RTU Riga Business School.

Is everything around inevitably transforming — people, organizations, societies, environment?

Rapid or slow, a change has been the catalyst for all that. If that’s true, then how good are we at actually mastering this constantly evolving reality? So, so — would often be given as an honest answer. Then wait — is this how we expect to achieve happy and fulfilling lives in the future?

Apparently, there is an obvious need for having another, more serious take on this matter. If everything is constantly changing, then it would be naturally wise of becoming the masters of such core transformation.

Transformative Technology Conference

Welcome to join this community breakout session on Human Artificial Intelligence at the annual Transformative Technology Conference.

Tremendous achievements are demonstrating our humane ability to evolve and progress. On this journey, let's remember that all the key answers are already encoded in our basic nature. Thus, artificial intelligence is only something that can serve us for the next big leap of the mankind. Technology is nothing more than a huge mirror that reflects all the good and the bad sides of what we have inherited as human beings.

Artificial intelligence is learning from what we can offer.

Developer bias is at the core of all our expectations and speculations for the future of man-machine co-evolution.

The Now! Fest 2020

From rational thinking to irrational decisioning, the last few years have taken behavioural strategists and scientists on an exciting journey. Coming from nowhere and dominating the business of how we understand human thinking, context and action, behavioural science has finally found its voice in the world.

Now, is a great time. It ought to be celebrated. — The Now! Fest

How COVID-19 Accelerates Global Healthy Cities Transformations

We all are aware that COVID-19 is profoundly impacting our lives and work. The world is now experiencing one of the largest global transformations in the last decades. Current changes will sustain their effects over the next generations. We are learning new ways not only to make individual decisions, but also create novel designs for our living spaces in future cities. Thus, this talk aims at discussing:

How transformation science and practice can help future cities become healthy and flourishing?

Transforming Response to COVID-19

Discussing how data can help us understand and transform the response to COVID-19 by addressing these three main questions:

What data sources would you suggest can help us best understand the COVID-19 situation from a civic / municipal angle, and how?

You work with changing populations’ behaviours through feedback loops. What do you see as some easy wins we could be aiming for in this regard?

The question CoronaWhy SHOULD be asking — How to help people efficiently achieving their desired transformations?

CoronaWhy

CoronaWhy’s mission is to mobilize volunteers and community partners to address the world’s biggest challenges through data science, artificial intelligence and knowledge sharing. Our focus is the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

We are all in this together. For the sake of our high risk segments of the population every member of society, every business and every government must make an effort in solidarity to overcome this pandemic using all the tools available with the collective creative problem solving capability of human society worldwide.

Visions that Compose a New Reality

We invite you to the fourth week of Wisdom Health, where we are going to share different visions of some of the people who have accompanied us in this first stage, to compose a new reality. To achieve a cross-linked dialogue that gives birth to a common message, integrating what is happening to us, what we can learn from the past and what moves us committing ourselves to a regenerated future.

Wisdom Health is an emerging community of conscious leaders that promotes the relationships sustaining the process of regeneration and cohesion in vulnerable times. Focusing on three main areas:

• Being with our Present - Regenerative Humanity

• Learning from our Past - Ancient Wisdom Resilience

• Committed to our Future - Humane Economy and Technology

Wisdom Health: Emerging Community for Conscious Leaders

Human flourishing and societal wellbeing can be achieved through purposefully designed innovations that successfully blend technological advancements with behavioral science.

In the moments of global transformations, how to use technology in a humane way?

Wisdom Health is an emerging community for conscious leaders committed with cohesion and transformation in vulnerable times.

Demystifying Transformation

Majority of global problems are byproducts of poor human attitude and behavior. Often people find reasons outside themselves for why we have such environmental issues and cultural segregation. We tend to see changes as something difficult, impossible, and mystical, thus something to avoid. Such attitude naturally leads to questionable choices and consequent results. This talk will demystify human change and reveal the secrets of transformation, thus making it easy for everyone to apply globally.

Demystifying Human Change: Transformation Made Easy for Everyone

People, businesses, communities, societies, basically everyone needs help with transforming their lives and activities. Many want to permanently change or walk the path of sustainable transformation, but we also know how often our new year's resolutions end in February. People are often unsuccessful with transformation because they don't have knowledge about it, and thus it seems mystical to many. This talk will revolutionize this aspect by introducing:

• Transforming Wellbeing Theory — that explains the essentials of and the inevitable need for global transformations (Stibe et al. 2019),

• Typology of Change — that clarifies the variety of changes and provides ways to consciously separate them (Stibe et al. 2019),

• Transforming Framework — that contains 8 applicable tools for immediate use (Stibe et al. 2019), and

• Transforming Sociotech Design — that bends technological innovations with human nature to empower sustainable changes at scale (Stibe et al. 2018, Stibe & Larson 2016).

Our world is going crazy, so what? Therefore, this talk will reveal how the Transforming Wellbeing Theory & Practice is emerging as an inevitable response to the ever-growing imbalance in our lives across the globe. Over the decades, we have been advancing technologies to make our lives better. The fundamental question still remains: with all the evolving innovations, are we gaining decent success in achieving happier and more sustainable societies? Every crucial domain of our lives continuously provides evidence of how things are getting imbalanced despite us making huge progress in building increasingly capable technological innovations, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, augmented reality, autonomous vehicles, and drones, just to name a few. The talk will provide scientific insights and practical applications to transform lives at global scale. Due to its strong fundament that intertwines technological innovations with human nature, this work is applicable in many essential life contexts, including health, education, sustainability, equality, governance, safety, emergency, management, marketing, ecology, economy, and dwelling.

Persuasive Era and Wellbeing

Welcome to your unique journey into the transforming future of international business administration. Our current times require high degree of agility and broad open-minded thinking to advance in line with the fast-paced technological evolution and global changes.

Why Transforming? Because changes today happen very fast and that speed will only accelerate with time. Such increasing pressure naturally affects all areas of our lives, including the ways we are doing business, especially on the global scale. Therefore, this event is tailored for professionals and students to become efficient leaders of transformation in organizations and beyond.

In this event, participants acquire and share knowledge that is essential for global leadership and growth management in our world that is increasingly manifesting its cross-border nature and multi-cultural mentality.

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE EBIT

Majority of global problems and business challenges directly stem from and are driven by poor human attitude and behavior.

Often people look for and find reasons outside themselves for why we have such environmental issues and low performing organizations. People, communities, societies, businesses, organizations, industries, basically everyone needs help with transformations. Many people want to change, but we also know how often our new year's resolutions end in February. Majority of our current global challenges are byproducts of unsuitable thinking too. Why? Because, people tend to perceive changes as something difficult, impossible, and mystical, thus are willing to avoid them. Such attitude naturally leads to poorer decisions and consequent behavioral outcomes for societies and business organizations.

Masterclass

How to Succeed in Transforming Lives and Businesses?

Have you ever tried to change something in yourself or others? How many times you have had a New Year’s resolution that succeeds? Most of us strive to improve. However, we rarely get to celebrate victories in really transforming our habits, behaviours, and thoughts, thus changing our lives and businesses for good. The masterclass will provide a sharper understanding on how the Theory of Transforming Wellbeing empowers us to innovate in ways that will not only make our envisioned changes but also make those changes last. Most of us already want change for better. What we often miss is the knowledge of how to make such transformations succeed and stick. This masterclass will help you develop and internalise the necessary competencies.

Homework

Come and bring any of your real-life cases (using this Defining Transformation template) to the masterclass, so we can start transforming them right there. Ideally, email your cases before the masterclass.
