| | business, government and civil |
| | society to work and learn together |
| | in ways that have never been needed |
| | in the past. This demands bridging |
| | gulfs of misunderstanding and |
| | distrust that have build up over |
| | generations. No one knows how to do |
| | this, but a few brave explorers like |

| | motivations, processes, pitfalls and |
| | possibilities for such change. |
