Dr. C. Otto Scharmer is a Senior Lecturer at MIT, the founding chair of the MIT
IDEAS program and the Cambridge-based Presencing Institute, and a founding
member of the MIT Green Hub. Scharmer has consulted with global companies,
international institutions, NGOs, and governments in North America, Europe, Asia,
and Africa.  He has co-designed and delivered award-winning business leadership
programs for client firms including Daimler, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Fujitsu, and
Google. He also facilitates cross-sector programs for leaders in business,
government, and civil society that focus on building people’s collective capacity to
achieve profound innovation and systems change.

Scharmer holds a Ph.D. in economics and management from Witten-Herdecke
University in Germany. He introduced the theoretical framework and practice called
“presencing” in his book Theory U: Leading from the Future as It Emerges (2007),
and in Presence: An Exploration of Profound Change in People, Organizations, and
Society (2005), co-authored with Peter Senge, Joseph Jaworski, and Betty Sue
Flowers. With his colleagues, Scharmer has used presencing to facilitate profound
innovation and change processes both within companies and across societal
systems. In 2009, he and his colleagues at the MIT Green Hub launched a research
initiative focusing on the transformation of capitalism in order to advancing an
intentional, inclusive, and innovation-driven 21st-century green economy that works
for all (“society 3.0”). More information about Scharmer and his work can be found at:
