Wealth Flows From Innovation

 “Wealth in the new regime flows directly from

innovation, not optimisation; that is, wealth is not

 gained by perfecting the known, but by

 imperfectly seizing the unknown”

 

Kevin Kelly, “New Rules for the Economy”, Wired

100 Most Creative People in Business

http://www.fastcompany.com/100/mcp.html

Interesting names - some that you may not have expected to see on the list. Great to see Jil Sander and my mate A.R Rahman included.  Pioneers in their own right.

Enron - The Play

Looking forward to seeing the onstage version of this Texas energy giant's downfall. Remember all the accounting fraud shananigans and the massive fallout? Lucy Prebble couldn't have timed it better now that the world of finance has been revealed to be full of illusions and fragile to its core.Prebble is holding up a mirror to us all so we can reflect on our greed, fears and ambitions of past times.

Enron will show at the Chichester Festival Theatre from 11 July and Royal Court Theatre, Sloane Square from 17 September.

The day the President of the USA Gets You Off School

I just love this story - especially the casualness of  President Obama's gesture of writing on a scrap piece of paper and the bit where he says 'she's with me' like Superman would.  Supercool in my books...

Social Entrepreneurs: Building a viable conscious business

Conscious Business and social entrepreneurship are serious topics, but as the proverb tells us, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"... and visionary leaders are surely anything but dull, so I thought I'd share this fun game I came across on a website for a US TV show about 'social entrepreneurs' called The New Heroes. From the website:

"So you want to change the world? Play our game and find out if you have what it takes to create a viable business with a social conscience. We'll test your ability to flip a problem on its head and come up with solutions that empower people."

I'm relieved to say that I have what it takes apparently, although secretly, I wonder whether I'd actually measure up 'in real life'. :o) How do you fare? Let us know how you get on by coming back and leaving a comment.  Click here to play the game.
