The
newsletter, our monthly global review, has been published for 4 years and
is now taking a new direction.
The
newsletter has been a bridge between The
Big Picture Story and the new blog.
The
Big Picture Story provides a multidimensional vision of our world
and what it might become depending on our life choices. The newsletter
has reported and analysed Big Picture trends, defined forecasts of how
quickly change might be needed, how system change might occur and what
would allow change to happen. Now the blog
format offers the same type of analysis, with enhanced features such as
·
subject categorisation, such as Geopolitics,
The World
of Money, etc., which you can click on according to your interests;
·
more comprehensive interlinking;
·
interaction – registered users can post thoughts, feedback and comments.
Being
an (organic)
gardener, it's easy to see the metaphor of the “compost” that
these four years of reflection, analysis and communication have been,
and how they have reaped a more streamlined and categorised “blogging”
method of relating our perspective to you. The Blog has therefore emerged
as a complement to the Big Picture Story - you can see the similarities
between the Big Picture chapters and the Blog categories in the table
below.
Our
analysis is unique in that it reflects a holonic
perspective. More and more of us are touched by the footprint of
humanity from climate change to economic volatility, from food manipulation
to war, from work to leisure. The ripple of change is fast becoming
a tidal wave carrying us to a future that will be different and unexpected.
We will continue to survey diverse sources and offer Big Picture perspective
and comments via the Blog, which we hope you will use as a resource to
create the future in your own sphere.
The
website will also be re-formatted in the coming weeks to present a simpler
initial interface while retaining most of the useful resources, archives
and links.
To
those amazing people – change leaders – who have given inspiration
and encouragement by spending time reading, commenting on and complimenting
the newsletter, I would like to extend my thanks. It is a privilege and
a dream to meet you (even if only virtually!). My great thanks to
