Printed money is just paper for starting fires ... this is not just America's problem, it's the world's. Printing paper money to give the illusion of stabilising the economy is downright immoral. Pseudo anything is bad but pseudo gold standards???

Innovation is difficult to define - it perhaps even defies definition. We may be better off not even trying to. Can innovation be taught? Short answer, no. Can wisdom be bought? DITTO.

 

Courses in innovation are being created without any focus on the human being. Today’s innovation bandwagon focuses on philosophy, methodology, tools and what not. I ask a simple question. “Do you not need something more than education and training to be a musician”. Basically, can anybody become a musician or does s/he have to be one in the first place? If I simply teach musical notation after which you practice strumming for 6 hours a day, can you become a guitarist OR do you have to be a musician before I brush you up?

 

Are there some intrinsic traits or talents or experiences that are prerequisites for innovation?

 

Think about it!!!

How an interdependent approach to leveraging globalisation will create a business culture that's sustainable and fair to all. A key ingredient for building the firm of the future is the setting up of a culture that can evolve, sustain and grow. Relationships, learning, adapting, evolving – simple to use words – not so simple to understand or, for that matter, apply in a particular context. For one, the mechanistic worldview [what became the order in the Industrial era] suggests the need for rigid structures. Today’s realities are quite different. Relationships are being formed without any physical contact: very deep relationships are being founded on areas of common interest.
