Glorious Storm Over Incanto

John Elkington · 20 May 2016 · Leave a Comment

Storm gets into its stride
Storm gets into its stride, yesterday
Wouldn't like to have been in one of these in a storm
Wouldn’t like to have been in one of these in a storm

These three images were from the dinner we had on the first evening of the GRI conference in Amsterdam, with the members of the GRI Technology Consortium (1), and from our dinner on the second evening at West-Indisch Huis (2 and 3).

In  my short speech during the first dinner, held in a delightful Italian restaurant, Incanto, I thanked our best, Michael Meehan, for arranging the storm that had burst upon the city shortly after we arrived. I love wild weather, when I’m indoors with a good view.

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.
