Better People, Better Design, Better Planet
(ONLINE)
April to July 2026
12 Weekend Sessions
4 hour Saturday & 3 hours Sunday ​
WORKSHOP CONCEPT NOTE
A Unique Online Project Based Learning in Action Workshop Series
April- July 2026
​
• How do we enhance capacities to design and implement social and systems transformation, sourcing universal values for realizing Peace, Prosperity and a flourishing Planet?
​
• How do we design and implement programs that realize our full potential, strengthen interdependent strategies between Peace, Prosperity and a flourishing Planet and generate results at scale?
​
• What design, architecture and development model do we use to ensure alignment and synergy in and between programmes and organizations? How do we break the silos, scatter and fragmentation?
​
• How do we respond when the world continues to be challenged by so much injustice, social exclusion, inequities, and disparities; and a growing intolerance to difference and diversity?
​
​Reflecting and answering these questions requires us to shake off fragmented and often superficial ‘fix-it’ approaches, and evolve new ways of being, thinking and acting that fundamentally transform the theories, practice and nature of the current development and business practices.
The “Capabilities for Peace, Prosperity and Planet” program is also referred to as ‘Radical Transformational Leadership 2.0 (RTL2.0)’. The templates and tools have been tested and generated results world-wide. It is designed to unleash the full potential and ethical leadership in ourselves and to inspire others to transform our lives, our work and our society. The word radical means “root.” The Oxford English Dictionary defines radical as “relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something.” We are using the word radical in this sense—the root of our being, our innate self, which manifests when our ego takes a back seat.
The program provides you with a robust development model along with templates and tools for whole-systems change, expand your reach and scale impact. It offers opportunities to established or budding leaders from the public, private, corporate and non-profit organizations to build results and action-based alliances and create paradigmatic shifts for realizing and achieving Peace, Prosperity and a flourishing Planet with equity.
​
BACKGROUND
RTLWorks is committed to realizing Peace, Prosperity, a flourishing Planet and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through constellation of individuals and organizations committed to well-being for all.
Everybody can choose to be a transformational leader and contribute to Peace, Prosperity and a flourishing Planet everywhere. This needs new transformations that source our inner capacities and new designs to make a difference. This implies that we can shift unworkable cultural norms and systems to generate extraordinary results.
For the very first time there is worldwide agreement on the SDGs, with equity and inclusion as the foundation. These apply across governments, countries, business and civil society and across all sectors. It is the coming together of environmental, social and economic dimensions connecting Peace, Prosperity and Planet under one umbrella.
Peace, Prosperity and Planet are foundational components of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Peace is vital for stability, promoting social justice, human rights, and the rule of law, which are essential for any community and nation’s development. Prosperity highlights the need for inclusive economic growth that benefits all people while reducing inequalities. It calls for fostering economic opportunities, education, and innovation to ensure that the wealth generated contributes to well-being for everyone. The Planet focuses on protecting the environment, combating climate change, and preserving biodiversity to safeguard natural resources for future generations. Together, these three results-areas build a world where peace, economic stability, and environmental health go hand-in-hand, ensuring a sustainable and thriving future for all. This is a great opportunity to generate results through interdependent strategies for Peace, Prosperity and Planet, provided we use an aligned set of design templates, architecture and operational strategies.
We have talked and debated social, environmental and economic challenges facing humanity and our planet for over seven decades now. For the first time, we have the potential of establishing an equitable world with purposeful goals and the pathways to accomplish them. What we never had – and now do - is a concrete strategic model with a set of tools, templates and instruments for addressing these challenges.
Solutions lie in our capacity to design and implement large scale programs in society and in institutions in a more sustainable and equitable manner. To do this, we must locate new opportunities; integrate short- and long-term thinking and harness knowledge and technology to create new patterns and systems by embodying values, respecting everyone and embracing diversity. This calls for creating cultural transformation that is large scale and sustainable through generative conversations and action that enhance wellbeing and equitable growth of all.
Its calls for humans to get smarter about humanity, about the collective us with humanity Intelligence which extends beyond the principles of cognitive and emotional intelligence to define and learn this new formation of intelligence. Simply put, the task of Humanity Intelligence is to enhance the capability of individuals and the human collective to embrace the universal values of dignity, equity, and compassion. By doing so, humans can change systems, bring peace, spread prosperity, and make the earth flourish. No small task, but a possibility. Better People, Better Design, Better Planet: that is the uniqueness in our work, our goal for Humanity Intelligence. If the arc of history is to move toward problem solving at larger scales, we need to adopt evolutionary learning, and design tools that advance and weave together the four pillars of Humanity Intelligence:
• The fire and wisdom within us: our inner being, our inner being, our gifts, our original goodness, and grace. At their core most humans want to love and be loved. They have compassion and justice in their hearts. Our inner being, rather than a realpolitik analysis, gives hope.
• A worldview informed by those universal values: the capacity of an individual to think and act beyond self, family, tribe, religion, and nation. Seeing with the heart and action are not separate realms. Humanity Intelligence links being a scholar and a doer, being a politician and a builder, being a visionary and a principled entrepreneur, being a mystic and a leader. Only when individuals act, can the world shift.
• The capacity to think and design in systems terms: to understand the complexity of causality, the nature of probability rather than certainty, and the nature of risk and array of outcomes. An understanding of the interdependent relationship between the existential problems of peace, prosperity and the planet go beyond usual academic or occupational boundaries. They require transdisciplinary frameworks and approaches to design and implement.
• The capacity to foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies which are free from fear and violence; and to turn conflict into creative solutions. My inner peace is foundational for informing my worldview and fostering peace outside.
​
Our world is riven by fear and hate leading to conflict, large and small, from neighborhoods to nations. Conflict will continue to exist, but Humanity Intelligence teaches the skills to transform conflicts into novel possibilities. My inner capacities can turn conflict into creative solutions. And it brings forward the courage to act.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
THE METHODOLOGY
This is an online program, a project-based learning-in-action program. The program is designed to overcome conventional limitations by introducing a comprehensive set of approaches, design templates and implementation tools to achieve Peace, Prosperity and flourishing Planet. They encompass relevant dimensions of current and emerging change processes. It requires citizens and stewards/leaders of change to accelerate their own transformative process. The design requires participants to build upon the projects that they care about and wish to transform and explore to work at scale and innovate. Participants choose a current challenge at work or a project that they care about and wish to transform or scale. During the program, participants apply the design templates and tools they learn in the selected, ongoing topic or project - a break-through initiative (BTI).
​
• There are no lectures –but highly effective experiential and peer learning from insights and reflections
• There is space for cross-cultural, cross-sectoral conversations and mutual learning
• Immediate results are generated through personal practice while setting foundation for the longer term.
• Learning and application is strengthened through the inter-session practice and coaching calls related to the tools learnt in the program.
The program consists of a series of twelve sessions every weekend – four hours on Saturdays and three hours on Sundays. New templates and tools to enhance capacities are introduced in each session. In between each weekend session, weekly sessions are held in small groups, where we share our learning and practice, along with a coach. Participants work alongside others from a variety of disciplines to build common language and practices so that we can work in synergy.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​WHO CAN PARTICPATE?
This program is for any individual and organization who burns for equity, human unity and dignity for everyone, is in action, is working and committed to Peace, Prosperity and a flourishing Planet; those who desire to make difference in our society for sustainable change that entails sourcing universal values and ethical action and for social and environmental well-being; organizations and individuals in Education/Academia, Corporate, Government, Civil Society, Communication and Media.

WHAT PARTICPANTS SAY ​
​
"For me undergoing the RTL program since 2014 has helped me to become a stronger person and given me the courage to speak from stand and principles for justice and fairness without worrying about the consequences and my fears. The various tools used in the Stewardship Program has enabled me to redesign my community mental health project which is now more inclusive, sustainable and engaging multiple stakeholders”.
“RTL took me to a place where I could explore myself, create meaning in everyday actions at home, workplace and society. I see myself as an interconnected being in my everyday actions. The CFSR model and all the tools have helped me anchor myself in what I care about, see the big picture to navigate through complexities and be in action in reality.”
“This leadership program woke me to the responsibility I have to be at my full potential connected to what I really care about as an agent of change in the world. It gave me the courage to face the disparity and polarization that is so evident in today’s world, to stand in universal values speaking up for equity for all. The program taught me to design differently, always keeping universal values as the core element while challenging norms and systems that create and maintain problems and designing and implementing values-based solutions that leave no- one out. I feel I am walking a path of growth and continual learning that will be lifelong”.
“I stand for equality and equity for myself and others. Stewardship helps me to constantly reflect on what I have done and what I am going to do by using the integrity lens and transforming destructive anger to courageous heart response. It makes me question myself and look at problems as opportunities. I use the tools and templates to align, ground myself and to feel whole as a human being”.
“A process that has helped me to see that I am an agent of change, it was a catalyst that has stimulated me to be part of the change I wish to see, it has expanded and structured the way I dream and given me the space and tools to manifest these dreams for a better life for all. It is a continuous deepening and day to day practice”.
