"How on earth can we live together - How can we agree to agree?"

My family has previously attended this amazing forum which occurs annually in Sweden. Sigtuna is the oldest city in Sweden, dating back to  980. The Tallberg Forum brings together about 500 leaders from around the world, from business, government and civil society. The aim is to hold "conversations" to try to find answers to the problems that beset our world. Many sessions are open to the public and take place around tables in a big tent. Typically, the setting is one of natural beauty with music, poetry and culture interwoven. Check out the link below and take part in the conversation.

"How on earth can we live together - How can we agree to agree?"

The Tällberg Forum 2011, 30 June to 3 July, starts in the realization that todays established business models and governance frameworks are struggling to release the structural change that financial/ budgetary, social and environmental pressures are likely to require. Out of this analysis, comes the imperative for new coalitions of actors to step forward and drive new initiatives towards more radical change. This is true for business, civil society and politics.

The question for this year's forum therefore becomes: "How on earth can we agree to agree?" Because without a common understanding of the need to move collectively into a new paradigm, established interest resisting change will prove too powerful to overcome. Unfortunately, too much of the debate today is still stuck in the logic and thought models of the past.
