Despite this many of our institutions, our corporations, our education systems and ourselves, have not yet realized it. History fast forwards to the future but we too often hold back trying to mould this new complex reality to a simpler time. Josephine explores and articulates this critical period of transformation and challenges us to think and to act differently in our world. She believes we need a different way of framing, creating, innovating and being in the world if we are to live well, prosper and safeguard the future. She demonstrates the very real need to go beyond the present growth paradigm, to decentralize and distribute innovation, creativity and design and to embrace complexity through new organizational, cultural and leadership models. Josephine regularly delivers international presentations and is an advisor to European Futures and Research platforms. She lectures in masters and executive education programs at a number of UK and European Universities and is Visiting Professor at the University of Northumberland at the faculty of Art and Design and Social Sciences. Josephine was appointed Senior Director of Trends and Strategy at Philips Design, in the Netherlands in 1997. She left Philips in 2009 to return to the UK and her company, Beyond20:21st Century Stories explores our Change of Age. She studied History and Politics at Warwick University and has lived and worked in the UK, Italy and Holland.
