Bankers are straight line, linear projection thinkers in a world of networks, smaller-scale chaos and larger-scale patterns. Long-, and even short-term, it doesn’t add up. This way of approaching things in a networked world is as out-of-date as dinosaurs. We need to create and test new ways of doing things that prove there are other viable options and approaches. That’s what the ProxThink sustainable proximities approach offers.
It’s not the bankers’ fault really. It’s the air we breathe. It’s the assumptions we hold. We need to prove other assumptions are more effective. We need to prove it to ourselves.
