I'm going to share some of the interesting projects I see, ideas I stumble across and issues I encounter in my job as NESTA's CEO.
I've just been on a brief fact-finding mission to Estonia - a country that counts a hunger to learn among its many virtues. Estonia has often been at the forefront of e-government, and at one point (almost) cut and pasted laws from other countries which it liked. A session with senior officials in the Estonian equivalent to the Cabinet Office also brought home how much we can learn from nimbler countries.
24.10.2011This week I'd like to share a couple of data graphics that have caught my eye over the past few weeks.
20.10.2011Steve Jobs was unique for combining high aspirations and a love of beautiful design with an acute business brain. It's marvellous, and surprisingly rare, to see an innovator honoured and mourned. But like any truly great changemaker Steve was contradictory.
14.10.2011I can't remember the death of a business leader ever having quite the impact as that of Steve Jobs. Part of the reason is that he saw business as a means and not an end.
12.10.2011Last week I was in Krakow in Poland chairing the plenaries at the European intersectoral summet on research and innovation. The event was organised by Atomium, an organisation I've been involved in setting up, which brings together 25 of the top universities across Europe and 25 top media organisations.
