Somewhat off my normal topic, I recently attended a Technology Association of Georgia event (Georgia Technology Summit – in which my current company made top 10 Georgia innovative companies, and my previous company was in the top 40) – but I digress – anyway, hear Jeffrey Rosensweig (Associate Dean for Corporate Relations at the Goizueta Business School of Emory University) speak. His site is www.globalguru.com and he has a number of interesting presentations available for download.
He has an interesting global perspective on things and does a lot of demographics, aging, fertility, etc. analysis factored against global trend in dollar strength, gdp (national and global), trade deficits, and many others, which shed some light on a couple things for me. First, based on his projections,
Also got to witness Ted Turner (as he received the Captain of Innovation award). It was inspiring to hear him talk about the early days of CNN and how he persevered through many challenges. Beyond what he has already done, he has now taken on several global causes:
1) Environment and our ability to sustain our world
2) Alternative fuel (related to #1, but other cause/effects as well)
3) Nuclear armament destruction – why do we need these weapons?
There were some other items, but these were the key things that came out for me.
