Really enjoyed the session I did for Tech Mahindra at Pennyhill Park, where I discussed the overlaps between Artificial Intelligence and the Sustainable Development agenda.
Lots going on at the moment, including the complete revamp of the Volans website, where we are working with Twist Creative. Real progress also being made with our Tomorrow’s Capitalism Inquiry, with Aviva Investors, Covestro and Unilever all confirming their support this week.
Lots also going on in the realm of boards and advisory boards. Attended my last Board session for The Ecological Sequestration Trust and Resilience Brokers. Sad to leave, but after seven years I feel I have done as much as I can. And other opportunities keep coming up.
Slightly disappointed by the V&A’s ‘The Future Starts Here’ exhibition, which I dropped into after the meeting at Imperial College. But I did pick up a copy of Jaron Lanier’s stunning book, Dawn of the New Everything. Enjoying it immensely.
Dear John,
You write “Real progress also being made with our Tomorrow’s Capitalism Inquiry, with Aviva Investors, Covestro and Unilever all confirming their support this week.”
Ten years ago (as Wall Street was crashing), I wrote about redesigning the system of capitalism for the HuffPost. Got the most attention of anything I ever wrote, including republished in a college economics text book published by Gale Cengage Learning. Here’s the link. I’d appreciate your feedback and (if you feel it’s appropriate) sharing it with others working on the Tomorrow’s Capitalism Inquiry. This is a subject I feel deeply about.
Best regards,
Steve
