Day three of the #shaperssummit has started out with so much inspiration. We’ve delved deeply into ourselves and learned valuable insights into furthering our passions. I can’t believe this is already over half over. Shaper time is reinvigorating! #Repost @globalshapersgeneva with @get_repost ・・・ “Innovation does not come when you have a new idea, but when you destroy a belief” @piccard_bertrand at the #shaperssummit @globalshaperscommunity @worldeconomicforum
What does it take to change a system? How can you shift a paradigm and what are the effects? Are those effects desirable or do we now have another problem? How do we solve a problem without creating news ones. How do we effect change in the first place? How do we tackle issues that are much bigger than one element or one perception? These are the questions that keep Shapers up at night. These are the questions we have to answer to make our projects successful. Shaping is the process of shifting the status quo and this is hardly ever easy. But it is so incredibly necessary. #shaperssummit #shapersbeshapin #shaperlove #panel #systemschange #globalshaperscommunity #getstuffdone
