THE BIGGER >RESET - Exit to a better world

A confrontational inspiriment and unique experience. A clear, hopeful and above all realistic discourse on our problems and risks and the only, effective route out of the ever cumulating crises. Do we go back to square one and move forward quickly and opportunistically? Or is it better to take a few thoughtful steps backwards with wisdom? Which route do you choose?

The true reality and naked facts

Over the past few decades, we have increasingly discussed complex issues. Around sustainability, circularity and inclusiveness. But all the good intentions have not sufficiently led to effective action with real impact. We muddle along incrementally with suboptimal solutions and that is of course not in line with the ambition and responsibility that we have as humanity. And certainly not with the urgency of the major challenges.

The corona crisis has magnified our political, economic and social problems, with the side effect that we reflexively go back to the old normal. This takes a lot of time, a lot of money and ultimately causes us to progress even less.

Unique and exciting experience

The Bigger Reset is a unique and exciting experience, offering everyone fascinating insights, including concrete hope for a better world. With the right priorities for governments, businesses and societies, within the limits of our planet and the potential and fundamental needs of people. How do we lead this and what pragmatic frameworks and actions determine the right direction and desired impact? How do we create a global Commons?

Based and building on the vision of the great thinkers and and extensive expertise of renowned game changers.

New inclusive contract

The Bigger Reset offers new economic, social and ecological imperatives and perspectives that respects the dignity of every human being and our planet with all its ecosystems and takes into account the interests of future generations.

Fundamental Quibbles

The last century brought great prosperity to just over a billion people. At the same time, we have made the planet and humanity subservient to our economy. In the 16th edition of the Global Risk Report (2021), the World Economic Forum warns us of the ten most likely risks with immense impacts on our prosperity and well-being. The window of opportunity to still respond effectively in time is now closing fast. Targeted measures and actions are inevitable. Are you ready for the decade of action?

Homo Verus: the true-hearted man

Modern man has evolved from Homo Sapiens to a Homo Economicus. Prosperity and economic growth have become more important than our well-being. What will it require to take the next step in our evolution? How do we develop into a Homo Verus - the true-hearted human being? Who is connected with Self and lives from the profound purpose and true intention. Who realizes that the common good ultimately also serves his or her own interest.

Man and planet: we are nature

We have made Mother Earth subservient to the economy and our prosperity. With serious, deleterious consequences for our environment and future generations. Humans are neither exploiters of the planet nor stewards of nature. We are nature and when we destroy nature, we end up destroying ourselves! What does this mean for our way of thinking, doing and most importantly, not doing? How can we live within the limits of our planet? Why should we absolutely avoid restoring the old world first and only then move on to sustainability and inclusivity? And it doesn't just have to be 'greener' - it especially has to be less. Much less!

Man and economy: radically inclusive and regenerative

The predictions are alarming: in the coming decades, the world economy will face the most severe shock in modern history. Can governments and (central) banks still save the economy and who will have to pay? The stability of the Eurozone will come under further pressure and geopolitical tensions are already inevitable. How do we deal with a fundamental economic crisis by flipping to a regenerative and more inclusive economy? Does the EU's Green Deal offer the solution? And how do we put an end to tax avoidance and other undesirable practices that are harmful to our planet and society?

Man and society: fairer sharing

How can we distribute wealth better so that no one has to sleep under the bridge? And in such a way that crucial professions not only receive applause, but also structurally more support, security and appreciation? For example, by reducing the workload, reducing bureaucracy, increasing job security and remuneration. A reform of the tax system is inevitable and relatively simple, provided that society guides the government to serve the common good.

Man and society: United Commons

Our society and the EU are divided by a diabolical dilemma: globalization, democracy and national interest. The problems that already existed before corona will now intensify. The solution is to strive for more than just a common market. How do we design and build a community of values, with greater respect for human dignity, democracy and solidarity? The contrast between the northern and southern countries has been heightened by the corona crisis. But we cannot live without each other. How can conflicts of interest keep member states together? How can we share the pain and the economic crisis better and equitably? Between North and South? Between rich and poor? And between the lucky ones with permanent jobs and the army of vulnerable people on temporary contracts, or the millions of unemployed or climate refugees? If we connect the solutions to the climate crisis and inequality, we can solve our fundamental problems and create real progress for all.

Leading inspirationally from the purpose

Leadership is subject to the influence of the zeitgeist and thus in constant flux. Ethics are now of paramount importance, for there are good leaders and many bad ones. The importance and beauty of concious leadership is most felt when it is absent. What leadership is needed now? Through 7 concise themes, myths are debunked. A clear overview of models and wisdom from the most inspiring leaders with impact.

Innovative entrepreneurship: B the Change

Nothing is more fun than being the change yourself that you love to see in the world. In this way you inspire other people and organizations in an entrepreneurial and effective manner. And you don't have to become the best in the world, if you already do the best for the world! Which companies and people are leading by example and how are they using 'business as a force for good?"

Utopia for realists

How do we put an end to the useless, political debates and decades-old clichés of the left and right? Every milestone in our civilization was once a utopian fantasy. The end of slavery. A deeply rooted and inclusive democracy. Freedom of speech and maximum room for protest. The same is true of today's utopias. A basic income, an inclusive and regenerative economy, less poverty and more equality. All components of the new zeitgeist. Because the dreamers of today are the realists of tomorrow.

Never waste a Good Crisis

Sooner or later, everyone faces a crisis. Ecological, a pandemic, economic. How do you best endure a crisis? How do you increase your chances of survival and optimize your opportunities to evolve? What measures can you take today?
