But what is constantly new is the shifting challenge of knowing where you and your organization best fit into that setting—a form of ongoing flux that’s only going to accelerate in the future. That’s why an anticipatory mindset is critical to succeeding in an economy largely defined only by the geographic limits of the planet.

In the ramp-up to the next G20 meeting in Hamburg, Germany, SDSN Germany Executive Director Adolf Kloke-Lesch argues for a revisited self-understanding of the G20 that allows for the Agenda 2030 to find its application both outside and within the group of member countries. Despite the value of the Group of Twenty in promoting consensus within the 20 strongest economies worldwide, it remains to be seen whether its true transformational power also applies to the Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Dev

Certain mindsets and ways of thinking are genuinely habit forming. Taking years of successful growth for granted is one of them.
