Key points discussed

The Regen Alliances Unconference: Board Meeting 2035 was an experimental exploration of working with clients and simulating a board meeting set in the future. The session began with the introduction of the experiment's purpose, focusing on meaningful conversations addressing current conditions and transitions within various types of organizations. Participants were assigned specific roles within a German family-owned company and were given time to read the company's history before delving into the future scenario.

Throughout the session, participants engaged in discussions related to immediate actions, prioritizing agenda items, and addressing challenges such as unreliable supply chains, government negotiations, and consumer education. The importance of building resilience, strengthening relationships with governments, and engaging with existing resources to overcome challenges were also emphasized. Participants reflected on the challenging scenario, considering personal and business responses, and discussed creating dissonance and shifting thinking within organizations. They explored the impact of crises on decision-making, the CEO's role in sustaining stability, and navigating a challenging scenario, which led them to consider spreading awareness or avoiding similar scenarios in the future.

Despite the absence of major surprises, participants found the discussions enlightening and encouraging, leading to a belief that the path pursued in the session is worth exploring further. Overcoming language challenges and developing improvisation skills were also acknowledged as valuable growth opportunities. The session concluded with expressions of gratitude for the insightful discussion and appreciation for the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with fellow participants.

All board members will prepare themselves and bring their specific priorities to the meeting. Polycrisis situations, the ongoing climate change induced disruptions as much as demographic trends and technology visions will fuel the conversation.

During the session, the members of the board listen to each other with the various scenarios the future in 11 years might hold for them. They’ll integrate these views and see what priorities their organisation will have to consider under those circumstances. Coming back to now
