A reporter asked me what made for Sustaining Entrepreneurship in a company as it grows. I said, “Beats me,” then offered 17 ideas. You’ll find posted today my “SE17: Origins of Sustainable Entrepreneurship” (just 4 slides). Feedback welcomed!! (Make that “begged for.”)
Will be talking about Design more than I normally do at a couple of upcoming events. Reread this weekend Virginia Postrel’s masterful 2003 contribution: The Substance of Style: How the Rise of Aesthetic Value Is Remaking Commerce, Culture, and Consciousness. Hence, you’ll find a 8-slide presentation consisting of excellent Virginia-isms [download the PPT here]; VirginiaP is also the subject of a Cool Friends interview posted on 13 February of this year. Message: DESIGN IS INEVITABLE! DESIGN IS THE DIFFERENCE! DESIGN RULES! (Dan Pink’s forthcoming A Whole New Mind: “The MFA is the new MBA.” Yes!)
