Impact in a society reinventing itself
That our lifeworlds are fragmenting and personalising at a rapid pace is one of the most tangible consequences of the epochal shift. Against this backdrop, the question of societal impact poses itself entirely anew: what does impact mean when we no longer form a shared whole?
What people experience today as effective or meaningful is shaped by their respective reality. Societal impact is therefore no longer an objective measure against which all actors can be assessed. For organisations, politics and social institutions, this creates a fundamental challenge: how can different realities be made connectable in order to preserve collective capacity to act?
This keynote gives decision-makers the intellectual toolkit to turn impact from a normative goal into a strategic resource – and to navigate a future with AI with confidence.
Topics in focus
Societal impact | Impact as a strategic resource | Fragmentation of the public sphere | Meaning and relevance | Collective capacity to act | Corporate responsibility | Purpose in the Digital Society
Bookable formats & workshop packages
Every event sets its own accents. The impulse is available in three formats, from a compact inspiration on the main stage to an interactive transfer into practice. We deliver the impulses flexibly on site or as a digital event.
Keynote
The classic stage format
We deliver the keynote as a concise impulse talk between 30 and 60 minutes: compact, to the point and individually tailored to your stage and your audience.
Impulse talk & workshop
Impulse with an in-depth practice session
The keynote is followed by a facilitated workshop in which the group experiences the ideas first-hand and transfers them directly to a concrete question from their own organisation.
Impulse day
The comprehensive strategy or transformation workshop
The keynote provides the inspiring kick-off, followed by facilitated workshops, interaction groups and targeted work with our proven tools on a predefined objective.
The speakers: Sarah Nünlist & Marc Leuzinger
