Paradigm
• “...a constellation of shared concepts, values, perceptions and practices under which a community creates a particular vision of reality that becomes the basis to organize itself”
Thomas Kuhn

Current Paradigm
Leader: Command
and Control
Designed for still water

to the future

Designed for a straight trajectory

Threshold
If the water is a metaphor for our human and planetary environment…¿how is the water nowadays?
...and if we are under white water…what are we doing in these kind of boats?
What are the implicit risks we face when navigating white water in a rowing boat?
