Dear Reader,
Some time ago a corporate leader mentioned that he noticed the articles in this newsletter had shifted over the years more towards sustainability topics. He wondered why. The reason is that sustainability has increasingly moved from a 'nice to know' to a need to know topic.
Ten years ago, we had to define what we mean by 'sustainability'. Sustainability of what? Was a frequent question I was asked. Today, there is not a day that we are not confronted with some news that impact life as we knew it. Whether it is weather related events, or the economic impact of climate change, or the social consequences of economic decisions...
As scientist and trend forecaster Chris Martenson puts it: The next twenty years will not be like the last twenty years. Are you prepared?
Enjoy the thinking!

HOW ILLITERATE ARE YOU?
By Isabel Rimanoczy
If you are a leader, an entrepreneur, a coach or a consultant to organizations you have probably noticed that something has changed drastically in the context of our lives.
Something unusual is going on when Coca Cola declares major problems with the company's supply of sugar cane, sugar beets, and citrus for its fruit juices, while Nike indicates difficulties with the provision of cotton for their products, due to increased droughts, or "100-year" floods that seem to happen every two years. A few years ago, floods temporarily shut down four Nike factories in Thailand.
At the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, participant Fred Krupps, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller, Earth: The Sequel - The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming, reported there were this year more than 30 official sessions on climate change, environmental resilience and food security, and even more related side events.

Here are eight questions you might want to ask yourself:
- If everyone would do what I am doing, what would be the impact on the world?
- What are the long-term implications of what I do each day?
- What do you think will happen if this trend continues?
- When I throw my Styrofoam take-out container away, where is "away"? What happens to the container?
- Are people in my line of work part of the problem or part of the solution?
- Is my work more about generating money in the short term or adding value in the long term?
- What will people in my line of work have to let go of to make the changes that seem to be called for?
- How can I and my colleagues/work mates model new ways of being?
