THE NEWS, RESOURCES, AND TOOLS
As Peter Senge points out in his book The Fifth Discipline, the only
sustainable source of competitive advantage is your organization’s ability
to learn faster than its competition.
As your partner in creating an organization where people and ideas flourish,
provocative thoughts, emerging research, and new resources will ignite
learning and inquiry.

Provocative Thoughts:
Buckminster
Fuller and Comprehensive Design
In the age of Daniel Pink’s A Whole New Mind, let’s look back 60
years ago to American visionary and creator of the “spaceship earth” concept,
Buckminster Fuller.
In the 1950s Buckminster Fuller proposed the idea of the Comprehensive
Designer, a creator who would embody “an emerging synthesis of artist,
inventor, mechanic, objective economist and evolutionary strategist.”
Through his work, Bucky aimed to develop a "comprehensive anticipatory design
science" — that is, a method of recognizing humanity's problems
in advance and solving them with the best technology available, providing, as
he put it, "more
and more life support for everybody with less and less resources."
How can leaders of today anticipate problems, creatively solve, and provide more
with fewer resources — environmental, time, money, emotional energy?
