The GIST Of Punting

Across to Oxford yesterday, Sunday 26th, with Pavan Sukhdev of GIST, where I’m on the advisory board. Had taken a taxi across to Mill Hill to meet him, but then let it go – not knowing that it was meant to take us across to Oxford. (Because of the disruption from the train strikes.)

In the end, we got an electric taxi all the way.

Much of Sunday afternoon spent punting with GIST team members and friends of Pavan’s from his Oxford days. We seated at the Randolph Hotel, where I did a presentation to the first day of their formal process this morning. Delighted to be involved, though the COVID hangover cough continues to nag.

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.
