Ep. 024 | Society 4.0: Building A Citizens Society NOT A Great / Elite Reset | Bob de Wit

Prof. Bob de Wit is the Professor of Strategic Leadership at Nyenrode Business University in the Netherlands as well as the founder and owner of Strategy Works and Strategy Academy, with a plethora of books and publications such as Strategy: An International Perspective being used at universities in over 70 countries around the world. Having predicted an impending societal change in the mid 2010's there are few better placed to discuss said upheaval than Bob, join us as we discuss the impending societal revolution following on from one of Bob's latest books Society 4.0 - discussing the possibility for us to take this opportunity to create a citizens society as opposed to the Elite Reset society - commonly referred to as the Great Reset. Creating a society that is led from the bottom up, rather than the top down as a corporatocracy/great reset society would build. Bob has a unique take on this having called out early in 2020 the chance for the Corona crisis to be used for other purposes. Join us as we discuss what we can do to move forward positively as well as how our current political landscape needs to change to prevent the abuses of power we see today implementing a public merit score only for those who wish to represent the populous on national and international political stages and how we can truly become the best Glocal citizens possible! Bob has a refreshing outlook - instead of continually hammering on the negatives he is constantly looking for the positive opportunities that are available as well as inspiring others with their chance to push forward!
