The Graffiti Wall | Julian Stdd learning blog

I passed the whole drawing today, but in a context different from that usually: I illustrate a giant graffiti wall, almost 20 meters long, with a continuous landscape, flowing from the sea, through farms and cities, deserts and in the mountains, then towards the distant coast. It is for an event on which I run tomorrow on ‘Organization as ecosystem‘, and explore aspects of connection and collaboration, and I use the wall to help create an embodied experience.

The wall is half complete, half -fired, half colored and the group, of around thirty people, is gradually illustrating in this landscape – the landscape which will represent the ecosystem of their own organization – as and when.

I have already used this type of approach to help people map their networks, communities and connections, but in this case, I have a specific objective, to illustrate the extent of this world organization, but also how difficult it is to be “everywhere”. For me, it is an exploration of leadership as local and global: where you are, where you are heard, where you act and where falls in the shadows. It is a systemic and holistic approach and linked to my more recent work on leadership as “Limit“And” movement “.

I feel agitated: two major works relate to an end: my doctorate and the book of “planetary philosophy”. The two will be “in the world” by the summer. And running just behind them is a new job, ready to be written, and I feel it as pressure on me. The work I have prototyped and repeated for ideas, but which have not yet completely captured and written. These times – endings, from the beginning and synthesis, are not only intellectual, but also emotional. I am wrapped in these ideas, with roughly the same idea of ​​incarnation that we will explore tomorrow.
