Days of clinging monkeys and decapitated horses

Marble Arch

Marble Arch the next day

Gloriously interesting couple of days, involving a visit with Sam yesterday to the new office of Innovation Arts, just off Old Street, and then today, with Amanda and Amy, to see Ancora Management Consulting. Wonderful discussion with David Christie at Innovation Arts and Tom Pütter at AMC. Arrived early for the AMC meeting and wandered across to see the decapitated horse sculpture by Nic Fidian Green at nearby Marble Arch. (Not sure why the new image conversion is introducing the banding into images, but will try to sort it out.)

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.
