Green Swans Land In Korea

John Elkington · 26 April 2022 · Leave a Comment

Delighted to see Green Swans out in Korean, with an interview published there this week, for those who read Korean.

Otherwise, life spins along. Did a panel session for the Edison Electric Institute in the USA yesterday, with Angela Wilkinson (Secretary General of the World Energy Council) and Jamie Arbib (founder, RethinkX).

Among other things have a memorial service for Mike Cooper this morning, a former submariner and maritime lawyer who was a long-time friend through our children, followed by a 3-hour meeting of the WWF Council of Ambassadors in Hanover Square and then dinner at the Conduit with Ipshita Mandal-Johnson, CEO of the Global Bio Fund.

Meanwhile, Volans is continuing to attract a good deal of interest – and our small team is growing. We are putting the whole team through John Fullerton’s Regenerative Economics course at the moment, where I’m on the faculty – and more or less all heading off to Mallorca early in May to spend several days with Daniel Christian Wahl.

And I continue to crank along with the interviews of Regenerators for the Green Swans Observatory. Among my favourite recent interviews is the one I did with Dr Christian Busch, author of The Serendipity Mindset and Connecting The Dots. When I get to 20-21, am planning to pull together an overview.

In other news, I have finished a late draft of the new book, and am now looking for a suitable literary agent. A strange feeling coming out the other side of the project, which has a much stronger autobiographical flavour than anything I have done to date. At times it feels a bit like Wile E. Coyote zooming off the cliff edge.

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.
