5 Tamkam Univ 18/11/2008Marc Luyckx GHISI,5 P. Drucker: Transformation Every few hundred years in Western History there occurs a sharp transformation. Within a few short decades, society rearranges itself : its worldview (paradigm), its basic values, its social and political structures, its arts, its key institutions. Fifty years later there is a new world.” Peter DRUCKER: “Post Capitalist Society”. Butterworth Heinemann, 1993, 2001, p.1.

6 Tamkam Univ 18/11/2008Marc Luyckx GHISI,6 WILLIS HARMAN “We are living through one of the most fundamental shifts in History: a change in the actual belief structure of Western Society. No economics, political or military power can compare with the power of a change of mind. By deliberately changing their images of reality, people are changing the world.” “We are living through one of the most fundamental shifts in History: a change in the actual belief structure of Western Society. No economics, political or military power can compare with the power of a change of mind. By deliberately changing their images of reality, people are changing the world.” Willis HARMAN Stanford Research Institute (+1997), Founder of the “World Business Academy”

8 Marc Luyckx GHISI, 8 Tamkam Univ 18/11/2008 KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY: FIVE LEVELS OF CHANGE

9 Tamkam Univ 18/11/2008Marc Luyckx GHISI,9 Transformation’s five levels 1. Humanity is in danger of collective death 2. Knowledge society is the End of the Patriarchal values (CCC) 3. Knowledge Society is the end of modernity. It is tansmodern. (post secular, flat, tolerant, new level of responsibility and consciousness). 4. Knowledge society is also a new economic logic. 5. Knowledge society is potentially a new political concept of non violence between States. (like EU)

10 Tamkam Univ 18/11/2008Marc Luyckx GHISI,10 The Iceberg of TRANSMODERNITY Level 2 : End of Patriarchal myths, sacred and values Level 3: End of Modernity: REASON Only Truth, Science, Violence, Pyramids, Control Level 4 : The knowledge society : post-capitalist society (Drucker) Level 5 : Credibility gap of all Institutions is increasing Level 1 : Danger of Collective Death dramatically…

Information: is already sorted by « Google ». Overabundance. Knowledge: is digested by human brain. Less Knowledge: is digested by human brain. Less Wisdom, Knowledge are rare. Not enough. Wisdom, Knowledge are rare. Not enough.

40 Tamkam Univ 18/11/2008Marc Luyckx GHISI,40 A NEW WORLD... 1. New tool of production : human brain 2. New CEO: Enabling creativity and sharing, Caring for humans = new human-centered management 3. New value creation process : adding Knowledge to Knowledge. 4. BEYOND Trade: from Free Trade to Free Sharing 5. New measurements = qualitative “intangibles”

41 Tamkam Univ 18/11/2008Marc Luyckx GHISI,41 A NEW WORLD... A NEW WORLD... 6. New strategy: beyond war: win-win not win-loose 7. New definition of Progress = qualitative 8. Beyond patenting towards “Open Source” 9. Beyond pyramids towards networks 10. Capitalizing on cultural capital + gender capital

42 Tamkam Univ 18/11/2008Marc Luyckx GHISI,42 1. NEW TOOL OF PRODUCTION  The tool of production is not anymore machine + technol.+ capital (€).  New tool of production is human brain + sharing knowledge in Networks in order to create new K.  This new tool of production is more important than capital and technol. Humans are ABOVE machines and Capital.  Hence Post capitalist society!

43 Tamkam Univ 18/11/2008Marc Luyckx GHISI,43 2. NEW CEO FUNCTION Old CEO: command, control, conquer Old CEO: command, control, conquer New CEO: New CEO: –Enables the creativity of his “human capital”= tool of Production –Enables and creates networks around his team. Because (S)He cannot control networks! –Cares for the intangible assets = brand

This is “trade”: I win and I loose. “Win-Loose” logic If I exchange an object against money, I loose the object. This is “trade”: I win and I loose. “Win-Loose” logic If I exchange knowledge, I do not loose my knowledge. I win and you win. I am not trading anymore. I share. This is a “win-win logic” of sharing. If I exchange knowledge, I do not loose my knowledge. I win and you win. I am not trading anymore. I share. This is a “win-win logic” of sharing.
