Like Darwin, we believe that adaptation is the key to being successful in a changing world. Adaptation in our thinking and behaviour, while being open to paradigm shifts. Our current habitat is under serious pressure. So, the question is: how will we make the change and adapt in time? Collectively as a global society, as companies, and as individuals?
