S2 Ep. 14 Bill Baue and Ralph Thurm – Bottom-Up and Top-Down Transformation

Today we explore an initiative that looks into transformation and the micro-macro dynamics of organizing from a thresholds and allocations perspective. We’re joined by Bill Baue, Senior Director at r3.0, and Ralph Thurm, Co-Founder & Managing Director at r3.0 – a not-for-profit platform which promotes Redesign for Resilience and Regeneration.   Founded in 2012, r3.0 connects a global community of “Positive Mavericks” around its “work ecosystem” that focuses on transcending incrementalism to trigger necessary transformations that enact living systems principles. The work of r3.0 explores responses to the ecological and social collapses humanity is experiencing, in order to achieve a thriving, regenerative and distributive economy and society.   Bill is a true expert when it comes to sustainability thresholds, thriveability, and online stakeholder engagement. He has co-founded several enterprises, including Sustainability Context Group, Sea Change Radio, and Currnt.    Ralph is a leading professional in sustainable innovation and strategy, operational sustainability, sustainability change management, sustainability reporting, transformation and thriveability. He is also the Founder of A|HEAD|ahead and Managing Director at OnCommons, the not-for-profit home of r3.0.   We are super excited to share this interview with you as we dig into how r3.0 applies a fractal, multi-scalar and bioregional lens to understanding transitions towards a regenerative and distributive global economy and society. Tune in as we explore organizational entanglement, creating value at a systems level, and how Bill and Ralph look at global governance.   Remember that you can always find transcripts, full show notes and key highlights of the episode on our Medium publication: https://platformdesigntoolkit.com/Podcast-S2E14-Bill-Baue-Ralph-Thurm    To find out more about Bill’s and Ralph’s work:   Bill Baue’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/bbaue    Ralph Thurm’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/aheadahead1    Website: https://www.r3-0.org/    r3.0 Blueprints: https://www.r3-0.org/projects/   8th International r3.0 Conference 2021: https://conference2021.r3-0.org/  The UNRISD-r3.0 project “Thresholds of Transformation”: https://www.r3-0.org/project/unrisd/   Find out more about the show and the research at Boundaryless at www.platformdesigntoolkit.com/podcast   Thanks for the ad-hoc music to Liosound / Walter Mobilio.
