This report summarises the progress made by the so-called Y3K team at the 11^<th> Biennial Fuschl Conversation, 7th-12th April 2002. The report covers the generative dialogue, and then the discussion around the trigger question that served as the main catalyst for the conversation, i.e. what will systems thinking involve in Y3K? We argue that contemporary systems design (CSD) is fixed to a particular set of assumptions relating to culture and time (i.e. western and industrial), which is not a universal framework for all kinds of problem solving or task-fulfilment. For a future in which we are seeking harmony on a global scale we are faced with a wide range of possible parameters in terms of culture and appreciation of time, which a truly comprehensive systems design process must accommodate. A new paradigm as a basis for thinking and engaging in systems work of the future is proposed. The hypothesized paradigm includes key concepts such as homeopathic design (enhancing the natural "immune systems" of social systems and synchronizing efforts with nature), as well as the embodiment of culture and time aspects. In addition, we offer an initial set of tools that might be considered when forming an evolutionary inquiry system for the meta-systems design case we discussed.
