Make Your Organization a Sustainable Enterprise

Make Your Organization a Sustainable Enterprise

What is a sustainable enterprise, what does it takes to create it, and how can it be achieved and maintained? What do we actually mean by sustainable enterprise?

The Danger of False Assumptions – Learn to Think Better

The Danger of False Assumptions – Learn to Think Better

How can people keep thinking something when evidence around them is screaming a different reality? How can we make sure that thinking blocks don’t happen to us?

Does Universal Healthcare Make Any Sense?

Does Universal Healthcare Make Any Sense?

A recent conversation was a reminder that few things like universal healthcare can mark a divide between Americans and Europeans (and Canadians). Americans tend to consider healthcare not a right but something to be earned. There is a moral argument going on here. But what if providing healthcare for all just makes scientific and economic sense? […]

Crash, Bang, New Economics (and How We Can Build It)

Many have lost their jobs, or lost their investments and even their future prospects.

When a band-aid costs hundreds of dollars – a USA healthcare experience

When a band-aid costs hundreds of dollars – a USA healthcare experience
