The Art of...: October 2009
http://davidsartof.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 22 October 2009. A short post on. SKiP(ing) into the future. Looking for a new acronym for innovation in a knowledge economy? Forget PEST, try SKiP(ing)…. I wrote, in an earlier post on Ragged Trousers. About the fact I had based that very post on an earlier essay entitled "SKiP(ing) Into a Futurist Economy". It was loosely based on a presentation I gave to some academic staff at Sheffield Hallam University earlier this year. I have now made that essay available as a pdf file for download.

Wednesday, 1 July 2009. Innovation: .in a game of Chinese Whispers? Gateway to Investment (G2i) the London-based Investment Readiness Programme, have recently (1st July) issued a post. Relating to the UK Government's plan for a UK INNOVATION FUND . The G2i post prompted me to consider the game of Chinese Whispers. The essence of my observation, here, is the G2i post-writer's mention of an assumption made by Lord Drayson, the Science and Innovation minister. Is this really a key objective of the fund?

Friday, 24 October 2008. From thinking management to creating management. Well, here goes. I have decided on a career change - number? In a series from 1 to? Thinking the Art of Management. I have written about the concept of fiction as a means of delivering new objective ideas into any real world scenario (and I use that word "real" with all the caveats imaginable - what is real? For example: where do we - or you - as an individual or corporate body want to be in five years time? In mind. I certainl...

Monday, 17 March 2008. A shark in formaldehyde? With a title like that… …why "Change”? I read with great interest the title of a recent column by James B. Rieley on Emerald Management First: “A shark in formaldehyde? How could I resist such a title? I looked on in further interest as I read:. And in the art world, it stimulated the question, “is it art? My own argument, which I do not see as contradictory to the point James was making, is that the art metaphor can be used to examine "how we see". How...

Monday, 6 April 2009. On innovation and ragged trousers… just a thought! Robert Tressell described the “Great Money Trick” of capitalism, in his book “The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, first published in 1914. This was admirably summarised by Gary Day, in his 1997 introduction to the Harper Perennial edition of the book – and I paraphrase slightly. Taken to the extreme,.
