PP: Theory U, in one of your videos,
you
are
emphasizing
on
selfknowledge. Does it mean that change
can be learned, self-learning and the
object of learning something which
needs to be incorporated in the
education you 21st century skills?
Foundation of the new curriculum of
lifelong learning starts at early age - the
dimension of self-knowledge. You cannot
teach me who I am, you have to go
through a process to understand and
which puts you out there. You have to
engage in the way. Creates different
educational areas. Allows you to connect
with self-knowledge, create environment
that enables them to progress in that
journey.
SS: What inspired you to write the

OS: Being engaged in late 1970, nuclear
power plant, green movement, peace
movement, civil rights movements in
Eastern Europe grass root movement
those movements where anyone who
participates will know that what is
mobilizing in this is any of these is shared
sense of future of past and intuitive
understanding of what future might look
like.
OS: Absolutely, that is the major
foundation of the curriculum that is
emerging and it is also the foundation of
lifelong learning. It starts early age so the
interesting thing is the dimension of selfknowledge. Each individual has to go
through profound process of personal
growth.
Theory U needs to be more acceptable.
We are at an earlier stage of profound
shift. Presencing and shifting of deeper
mindset, fundamentalism and closed
mind. The line between absenting and
presencing calls for knowing who you are
and follow the journeys. Theory U:
Emphasizing, discovering yourself, selfknowledge.
AT WORK
Theory U is about the travel of the soul
of individuals and organizations.
Change is not a prescription but a
collaborative effort to execute ambitions
made together.
