Event Details

In recent years we have begun to feel the phenomenon Paul Gilding describes as "The Great Disruption." 

Our current economic model is coming to an end, and the environmental, social and financial bills have come due. In his latest book Gilding asserts that this disruption is just beginning and we're in for a rough ride. Fortunately, he offers more than doom and gloom, reminding us that crises often bring out the best people have to offer: compassion, innovation and resilience. 

Paul Gilding is an international thought leader and advocate for sustainability. He has served as head of Greenpeace International, and is currently a faculty member for Cambridge University's Programme for Sustainability Leadership.

Most environmental organizations, in response to today's challenges, advocate answers: sustainability, efficiency, resilience, conservation, policy change, litigation, and so forth.

We're a little different.

We ask questions.

Our current question:
What exactly is innovation?  When is it useful, trivial, destructive? And how can we tell? What conditions foster or enable innovation? How do innovative ideas move from inspiration to initial implementation to wide-spread diffusion?
