I quit Big Tech after abruptly realising my (science-backed!) beliefs about urgent transformative change aren't aligned with their agenda. Your workshop sounds like it would have been incredibly valuable at that time!
I’d also recommend checking out ArkH3’s work on corporate Sustainability as the World Needs (SWoN) program, as it gets to heart of influencing boards and CEOs with a critical mass of likeminded peers. The approach is based on infeasibility of future growth and resulting risk to longterm shareholder value, vs tying to change moral judgements/values from within a business.
It doesn’t sound like it was a mistake to try, Matthew! No doubt the experience crystallised a lot of things for you. I wonder if you’d be doing this brilliant work now without going through this at Reuters? Love the imaginal cells metaphor and your encouragement at the end - we cannot do this work alone, and there are so many incredible people and organisations working in various ways to birth new systems. The more I look, the more I find! Wish I could be at your workshop today, will you be sharing insights from the discussion? Also wondering if you’ve come across Jake Hayman and his work with insider movements? Thanks for this excellent piece 🙏
