| Where's tomorrow? | 09-NOV-09 |
|
| I get asked a lot of times what are you doing to get future ready? My answer is always the same, I’m trying to look ahead. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, because we humans are not programmed to do that. We are schooled to learn from the past. Our predictions are often based on what we see when we look back and examining the patterns that lead us to where we are. The age we are in doesn’t work that way any more. In these times evolution is just as likely to be created by discontinuous change as it is by steady progression. |

| Branding & the Nobel prize | 12-OCT-09 |
|
| Unless you had head in a cloud of opium smoke the last couple of days, you must know that Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Now you may be pro the decision to bestow the honour that Mahatma Gandhi was nominated five times for but never won, to a guy who is fighting two wars (okay so he inherited those, but still I don’t see anyone taking their fingers of the trigger, do you?). You may be anti the decision. You may be, like, wthhh (what the hell happened here)? Or perhaps you just don’t give a monkey’s derriere about the whole darned tootin affair. |
