Who We Are
The biggest challenge we are facing today is how to de-risk our future and establish wise conducts. For this purpose we came together, as global thinkers from different fields of study, to rally and heighten future consciousness. Our ultimate goal is to reach a new Age of Wisdom as the appropriate and credible new evolutionary stage after Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID 19).

Our Goals:
- To win the future consciousness challenge
- To create a new cohort of wisdom leaders to be active across the globe.
- To establish wise practices and wisdom indexes in all fields (WISDOM COMPASS).
- To change zero-sum games into non-zero-sum games using wisdom.
- To focus on issues that put us on the same boat as environmental problems and SDGs in general.
- To consciously and wisely build the New Normal
Word of the Chairman
WISDOM COMPASS:
Facing the complexity and interdependence of post-normal times it’s evident that there can be no zero-sum game solutions to our problems and ever-rising conflicts. There are only wisdom and wise solutions where co-existence and cooperation is the norm.
In the new era of Post Coronavirus, individuals, organizations and nations should work hard to increase their Global Consciousness. And we define Global Consciousness as the new concept of being aware of global risks engendered by the increased interconnectedness, interdependence and complexity of the world systems. Ignoring such Global Consciousness will lead to uncertainty and different types of deep strategic ignorance that threaten the very existence of mankind.
To address this alarming situation – where nothing seems to be sure, truly guaranteed, or totally safe – we have designed a WISDOM COMPASS that is double-edged; Wisdom Index(WI) from one side, and Wisdom Maturity Model (WMM) from the other side. This compass will be Humanity’s lifeboat in wild oceans, where acceleration is the norm, predictability is rare, and small changes can lead to big consequences in no time (Butterfly. Effect).
