Some setting of expectations - creating a safe enough, but challenging, space for co-inquiry:
- Participants will agree that the financial system is not well aligned with society as a whole
- Participants will agree that this dis-alignment has negative consequences for people and planet and will understand what those consequences are.
- Participants will agree that individuals being engaged with the financial system would improve decision-making and outcomes for this system, including in relation to major systemic challenges such as climate and ecosystem breakdown
- Participants will agree that the current 'Diversity and Inclusion' agenda within the financial system, where it is even present, largely fails to engage with systemic questions of voice and representation and will understand the consequences of this.
- Participants will understand and appreciate that efforts to rethink finance in a way that reflects the society that hosts it will likely trigger a pushback from those who profit from the present investing paradigm.
