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.
Steve 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.
03.10.2011The last week has been all about ideas, a welcome antidote to the darkening economic outlook.
28.09.2011I gave a talk a couple of weeks ago at the Paradiso Conference in Brussels on the subject of collective intelligence. It's a topic that's going to be an important one for NESTA over the next year or two (we'll soon be publishing an overview paper on concepts, theories and uses of CI).
