I love quantum mechanics, although I am not sure that I understand it. I have been applying quantum conundrums to social life, humanism, diversity, development and management. The Quantic Humanism Initiative is my new 'maloka' (indigenous place for thinking and sharing).
I am Colombian. I love my country and I am trying to make a change. I love our music, folklor, food, mountains and 'calor humano' (human warmth). Romanticism (Latinamerican version) and music/dance are my passions. So anything that happens or that I chose to happen in my life, I try as much to fill it with energy, authenticity and joyfulness.
My interests are innovation in management, leadership and authenticity, quantum mechanics applied to the social sciences, non-linear strategic thinking, humanistic management, and neuroleadership. Dr. Largacha is a Graduate Fellow from the University of Miami, where he received his double doctorate degree in International Studies and Quantum Sociology. He is a Harvard University Alumni, from the Kennedy School of Government.
I did a TEDxTalk in 2012 about quantic humanistic management and imagination. He is the winner of the best Leadership Business Case in 2013 given by Harvard, McKinsey and London Business School through MIX-Management Innovation Exchange. Carlos leads the Colombian Chapter of the Humanistic Management Network. He worked five years at World Vision International. During seven years worked at Universidad EAN (ACBSP Acredited), first as Provost for Research and then as Professor and Researcher at the School of Management.
Since 2012 is Faculty Member of the Humanistic Management Center, and since 2015 is partner of two Colombian B-corps and social entrepreneurships: MariaPanela (www.mariapanela.com), certified B-corp, and Bareke (http://bareke.com/about-us/), in the process of getting the B-certification.

The anti-dualistic epistemological maneuver made by quantum theory has influenced most of my work, particularly my current projects related to community-based interventions in health. The basic idea is that various knowledge bases are possible, including the local knowledge that individuals and communities use to guide their behavior and decisions about health. Specifically important is that this local information, in the form of narratives, is especially significant in terms of developing pertinent and sustainable health projects.
In this regard, Manolo Caro and I organized a volume, The World of Quantum Culture,where the various and diverse application of quantum theory are discussed, particularly the social relevance. The goal of my community-based work is to promote local autonomy and long-term community development from the ground up.
