Integral Green Slovenia

Integral Green Slovenia tells the unique story of a society pursuing a newly holistic and green approach to economics. The story is framed by - and demonstrated through - stories of integral communities and organisations on a path of social innovation for sustainability. The books in the Integral Green Society and Economy series encompass not only nature and community, but culture and spirituality, science and technology, politics and economics as an integral whole.

Dr. Darja Piciga is co-founder and leading figure of the Citizens' Initiative for an Integral Green Slovenia. She embodies Trans4m's integral approach in her professional and government career (fusing knowledge and experiences over a wide span of scientific, educational and policy areas) as well as in civil society activities (uniting stakeholders from all "integral worlds"). Prof. Alexander Schieffer graduated from and lectures at St. Gallen University and is Co-Founder of Trans4m, Geneva. With Lessem, he co-authored Integral Economics and developed the Integral Worlds approach, as well as being a joint Series Editor of the Transformation and Innovation Series and the Integral Green Society and Economy Series. Prof. Ronnie Lessem is also co-founder of Trans4m. A graduate from Harvard Business School and London School of Economics, he is Zimbabwean by birth, and now a UK Citizen. He has been a management educator and consultant in Africa, Asia, Europe and America and is the author of over 30 books on the development of self, business and society.
