A radical thought...
Creativity, social contribution & more will increase in importance
With automation and AI progressively taking over significant aspects of our tasks, and especially repetitive tasks, we now are redefining the concept of work itself.
Instead of measuring personal worth based mainly on the role we play, and the job we do, we shift towards valuing elements like creativity, innovation, emotional intelligence, human potential, and social contribution. This leads our society and community to focus more on personal growth, pursuing passions, interacting-sharing, and solving complex societal, technological, ecological, economic, and political (STEEP) issues.
Human-centred innovation
Technology changes to our lives leads also to global societies becoming more ‘tribal,’ reorienting towards rediscovering our inner, highly creative child, and towards human-centered innovation.
This sees a surge in creative endeavours, scientific breakthroughs, and artistic expressions.
This new emphasis on shared human ingenuity and intentionality leads to advancements in fields like healthcare, renewable energy, creative play, space exploration, mind power, the super-human, well-being technologies, rapid learning systems. among many others.
All of these are truly fantastic business opportunities.
Addressing complex STEEP issues
Freed from mundane tasks, individuals come together to address complex STEEP issues.
Collaborative digital platforms, devices, and networks facilitate the pooling of diverse expertise, inner resources, and the sharing of physical resources.
These transformations enable collective problem-solving, opportunity creating, and the ‘mining’ of very different inner, psychological and emotional resources.
The transformations ahead will then drive us towards becoming being far better people – our best possible selves – towards creating far better futures. Which fosters global collaboration, where we work together to tackle challenges such as climate change, poverty, inequality, and many more.
And flowers as the new STEEP Renaissance.
A STEEP Renaissance
With more time for personal pursuits, national and global societies experience a cultural and STEEP Renaissance.
Creativity flourishes in various forms, including arts, literature, music, entertainment, personal development, and business.
This scenario sees an upsurge in cultural exchange, the revival of traditional crafts, the emergence of new cultural expressions that enrich the human experience, and many new STEEP fabrics.
What is STEEP?
How likely is this overall scenario? And how strongly would you not only welcome it – but work from now to make it happen?
