ebbf event in Geneva
On 3-7 May, ebbf - Ethical Business Building the Future, held its annual
spring conference at Chavannes de Bogis near Geneva. The theme was “Beyond
Diversity”, and I was asked to give the opening keynote on “Systems Science
Beyond Diversity”. The video can be seen on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ebbf.mindfulpeople.meaningfulwork/videos/10154628682531801/?pnref=story,
and my paper is available at https://iefworld.org/ddahl17e.
130 participants were encouraged to hold meaningful conversations after
short keynotes, and participated in many parallel learnshops. I was
reelected to the Governing Board of ebbf.
