Otto Scharmer on Theory U and the Trilogos Method

In an episode of the ResponsAbility Podcast, Otto Scharmer, founder of Theory U and the Presencing Institute at MIT, explores deep listening, the development of consciousness, and the future of education and leadership.

The conversation also features the Trilogos Method. Drawing on an action research project aimed at cultivating intuition, the hosts introduce the method as an approach that integrates rational, emotional, and spiritual intelligence (IQ + EQ + SQ = PsyQ). Building on this, Scharmer explains why spirituality, contemplative practice, and what he calls "Source Intelligence" are becoming increasingly important for education and societal transformation in the age of artificial intelligence.

The exchange begins at 00:46:49 in the episode timeline.
