    Next exit to the future

    In no phase of history has there been a comparable surge in innovation as in our time. As a result of the new technical possibilities, the world is growing together into a networked global system of great heterogeneity. Opportunities and risks are closely intertwined. Dealing with the new in society has become a major challenge. At this high pace of innovation, citizens are looking for ways to understand the new and to recognize the social and technical processes in context. In dealing with the new, we are currently experiencing the transition from a “considerate” to a “cautious” society.

    I will use many examples to illustrate our changed approach to the new and show ways of creating a culture of change.
