in many cases our awareness • whether as individuals, organisations
or nations • [IS] still limited and local. To use an analogy from biology,
even though our actions affect the larger ecosystem of which we are
a part—in fact the multiple interacting economic, social, political and
environmental ecosystems—we sill behave as though our actions are
narrow in scope and impact. We see ourselves as part of a far smaller,
more isolated ego-system."
Scharmer and Kaufer explain why actions based on this “ego-system” awareness not only result in recurring crises, but doom any attempt to resolve them—we are trying to meet new challenges with an obsoletemindset. To show the shape of the emerging future they bring this ecosystem awareness to bear on areas such as labor, capital, production, technology, leadership, ownership and many others, offering a blueprint for a new society based on a profound understanding of how the actions of each affects the many.
This book’s journey is about a path and a method of dropping the baggage of old habits of thought and then crossing through the gate to an economy that operates more consciously, inclusively, and collectively.
THIS book addresses what we believe to be a blind spot in global
discourse today: how to respond to the current waves of disruptive change form a deep place that connects us to an emerging future,
rather than reacting against the patterns of the past, which usually means perpetuating them.

in setting the ambitions of future engineers, and of literature in creating
future political aspirations. But most of all, we'll examine how we know
what we know: how does experience confirm or contradict ideas from
religious myths, and how to fringe phenomena like UFOs or the
Loch Ness Monster inform how we relate to other classes of
impossible-to-verify but culturally powerful ideas. How does the
scientific method differ from other ways of achieving truth, and
how do we map out the horizon of things which may be true, but are
true in ways which science cannot yet instrument or measure - for
example, the quality of artistic inspiration is a driving fact of life for
many people, but there is no scale or metric for it. Finally, the
overwhelming question of the day: how to make global warming

Robotic process automation (RPA) is the use of software with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning capabilities to handle high-volume, repeatable tasks that previously required a human to perform.
What distinguishes RPA from traditional IT automation is RPA software's ability to be aware and adapt to changing circumstances, exceptions and new situations. Once RPA software has been trained to to capture and interpret the actions of specific processes in existing software applications, it can then manipulate data, trigger responses, initiate new actions and communicate with other systems autonomously. Large and small companies will be able to reap the benefits of RPA by expediting back-office and middle-office tasks in a wide range of industries, including insurance, finance, procurement, supply chain management (SCM), accounting, customer relationship management (CRM) and human resource management (HRM).
RPA software is expecially useful for organizations that have many different, complicated systems that need to interact together fluidly. For example, if an electronic form in a human resource system is lacking a zip code, traditional automation software would flag the form as having an exception and an employee would handle the exception by looking up the correct zip code and entering it manually on the form. Once the form was complete, the employee might send the completed form on to payroll so the information could be entered into the organization's payroll system. With RPA technology, however, software that has the ability to adapt, self-learn, and self-correct would handle the exception and interact with the payroll system without human assistance.
Although RPA software can be expensive, the technology offers companies an alternative to outsourcing and can ultimately result in lower operating costs, decreased cycle times and increased productivity for human employees who no longer are tasked with boring work. Because RPA technology tracks and monitors all the tasks that it automates, it can also help companies to become more audit- and regulatory- compliant. Though it is expected that automation software will replace up to 140 million full-time employees worldwide by the year 2025, many high-quality jobs will be created for those who are able to maintain and improve RPA software.

ruments do today. Maybe they will even feel like musical instruments. Maybe there will be a virtual saxophone-like thing you can pick up in an immersive virtual world. Maybe you’ll have to wear special glasses and gloves to see and feel it, or maybe there will be other gadgets that do the trick. Pick it up, learn to finger it and blow, and it will spin out virtual octopus houses and worlds of other fantastic things with the ease and speed that a saxophone can spin out musical notes today. This will be a new trick in the repertory of the species, a new twist in the human story. The same parts of your body that were used to make language possible will be leveraged to make the stuff of experience, not symbolic references to hypothetical experiences. True, it will take years to learn how to play things into existence, just as it takes years to learn to speak a language or play the piano. But the payoff will be tangible. Other people will experience what you breathed into being. Your spontaneous inventions will be objectively there, shared to the same degree that perception of a physical object is shared. In order to approach this ideal destiny, VR would have to include that expressive reality-emitting saxophone or other protean tools, and it is an unknown whether these tools can be created or not. But suppose it can be done.fn2 Then virtual reality would combine qualities of physical reality, of language, and of innocent imagination, but in a completely new way. This destiny for virtual reality is what I call postsymbolic communication. Instead of telling a ghost story, you’ll make a haunted house. Virtual reality • will be like imagination in that [IT] will engender unbounded variety. It will be like physical reality in that it will be objective and shared. And it will be like language because adults will be able to be expressive with it at a speed that is at least comparable to the speed of thought.

old order, and only luke-warm defenders in all those who would profit by the new order. This quality of lukewarmness arises partly from a fear of adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the incredulity of mankind, who do not truly believe in anything new until they have had actual experience of it.”

BuckminsterFuller's concern with fine-tuning
communication, developing and using words that
are consistent with scientific reality, is one facet of
the role of language with respect to synergetics.
Another deals with the difficulty of describing
