New Horizons

“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her

breathing.” Arundhati Roy

In this book we set out to take our readers on a journey to new ways of organising. Our aim
was to help our readers to reach “new horizons”. We wanted to provide a range of ways to

think about how to organise differently, responsibly, fairly and collaboratively for a more

sustainable world. We purposefully chose the words “organising differently for a sustainable

future” because we wanted to focus on our individual and collective actions, and not present
organisations as static entities (or machines) as has frequently been the case in the past.

This book has been written for all current leaders, managers and change makers – as well as

for all aspiring future leaders, managers and change makers. We know that you are organising

readers is the desire to transform their organisations for the benefit of our communities, our

society, and our planet.

Some of you will have read this book from the start to the end. We hope that it has nourished

your soul, satisfied your curiosity, stimulated your imagination and provided you with many
practical tools for building and sustaining new horizons for yourself, for your organisation and

for society.

our core Caplor House model, the framework for the book and the structure of the chapters.

For example, we wanted the book to offer many practical actions and suggestions for our
