Beautiful reflections from Anna-Marie Swan on 'Bringing All of the More-Than-Human Into Organisations' I particularly loved the questions she poses (quoted directly from the article): 1. What exactly do we mean when we speak of the more-than-human? 2. What of the more-than-human are we including and excluding, and what personal and collective worldviews might need adjusting to hold as clear a gaze as possible? 3. How might we deepen our personal and collective communing with the more-than-human? 4. Which humans are already in deep relationship with the more-than-human, and how can we listen to the messages they hold that are born of that deep relationship? 5. What does it mean to be of service to the more-than-human? Thoroughly recommend reading the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/eUda7SCV

Trust at a Crossroads 🌎 The 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer reveals a stark reality: trust is eroding ⛓️💥. With 61% of people globally feeling a sense of grievance - believing government and business make their lives harder, serve narrow interests, and unfairly benefit the wealthy at the expense of the broader population - it’s clear we’re at a tipping point. Trust has never been more crucial. Key findings noted in the report include: 📉 Grievance is deepening, urging businesses to rebuild optimism and connection 💰 Economic fears are fuelling distrust, making transparency and purpose non-negotiable in today’s workplace. Hearing from friends and family in recent conversations that our research is being referenced at conferences they've attended and in global discussions, is a reminder of how central trust has become in shaping the conversations that matter.

"Half of boardroom leaders slash tech budgets amid economic uncertainty,” says BBN Times when covering the results of our Technology and the Boardroom survey. However, 81% of the over 700 board members surveyed said tech investment has increased across the business and will continue to do so next year, indicating investment in tech is not only going up, but is also being held outside of the tech leader’s budget. Breno Gentil, Regional CIO or Heineken, comments “Technology has consistently delivered value for our business, enabling growth, driving productivity, simplification and future-proofing our company. Our priority investments are in digitising our route to consumers and unlocking the value of AI through a secure digital backbone of integrated and standardised data and business platforms.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eyjupcdk Natalie Whittlesey Dan Manton James Lawson Mariam Naskidashvili #techstudy #boardsurvey #insights #thoughtleadership #futureoftech #techleaders #boardroom #ctech

'It is with a humble, and curious, and open to surprise gaze that I believe we would do well to hold the more-than-human within as we integrate their voices and needs into organisational fields of attention, noticing what we exclude because we find it ugly, investigating the ways we make fantasy and ideal. Only through as clear a gaze as possible can we learn how to truly listen, and see. The more-than-human that we give place to on organisational boards and lift up as stakeholders are, after all, also the more-than-human of sweeping viruses, parasites, violence, and violent death. The intention to ‘look with as clear a gaze as possible’ is, I find, the same for all aspects of organisational design and stewardship. We cannot fully explore organisational decolonialisation without first looking with as clear a gaze as possible at the ways that we benefit from neo-colonial systems and stories and from not partaking in internal and external repentance and repair processes. We cannot fully explore the role of money in organisations without first looking with as clear a gaze as possible at the everyday violence and harm of dominating financial systems. We cannot fully explore unhealthy relationships and behaviours within organisations without first looking with as clear a gaze as possible at the ways that we might individually and collectively be benefiting from those relationships and behaviours. Does looking with as clear a gaze as possible at the more-than-human mean that we collapse our commitment to listening and integrating their voices and needs in organisations? I don’t think so. Instead, I think this kind of gaze opens up organisational perspectives that deepen our work, within organisations and without; for to include the more-than-human is to include the mysterious, the ‘chaotic difference’ of the exuberant wild. It is to include the mysterious, the chaotic differences of, and in, each of us. And it is to include the mysterious, the chaotic differences of the rich web of complex relationality that is an organisation, and that are the neighbourhoods, ecosystems, social systems, and planetary systems that organisations are so (wonderfully) irreparably weaved into.'
