Busy Week at 2BP

John Elkington · 20 March 2009 · Leave a Comment

The Phoenix 50 image The Phoenix 50 image   A very busy week at 2 Bloomsbury Place, with The Phoenix Economy finally off to the printers.  Am thrilled with how much progress we have made in the last week or two.  Then the week also saw a stream of visitors, a fair few of whom spent some time in the office – among them Carl Ganter of Circle of Blue, Kiva co-founder Jessica Jackley and Will Rosenzweig of Physic Ventures.  We also had a farewell lunch for Smita (Sircar), who has played such a vital role over the past year, particularly recently on the report – and is now moving to South Africa with her husband.  Then a visit to the British Museum with Will and Elaine to see the murals from the tomb of Nebamun and then dinner there.   Will, Sam and magnolia Will, Sam and magnolia Carl and Jessica Carl and Jessica Ale and Carl Ale and Carl British Museum 1 British Museum 1 British Museum 2 British Museum 2

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with much of the older material still available.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on this site’s Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition, my blogs have appeared on many sites such as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and the Harvard Business Review.
