The Copenhagen Business School is an extremely diverse institution — including lawyers, sociologists, political scientists and around 18,000 students.  So perhaps I shouldn’t haven been surprised to find a cluster of people interested in the intersection of business and design. I happened to arrive in time for the design@ cbs Café.  According to the invitation […]

the future of design

the future of design

I like it when Monocle presents little essays on topics — like in the May 2011 issue where 5 short essay on the future of design entertain and educate us.  http://www.monocle.com/Magazine/volume-05/issue-43/ The titles themselves are both fun and raise one’s curiosity: Someone please save us from the tasteless and tawdry (Tyler Brule, Editor of Monocle) […]

ARC…uniting knowledge, fueling entrepreneurship

Jeff Kroeker is one of those faculty members at Sauder that makes the place truly great.  He is an accounting guy (we won’t hold that against him) who is a star teacher and innovator (along with Paul Cubbon) in the COMM 101 course which sensibly and energetically introduces “business” to first year Commerce students.

A Global Rethink

It has become a habit to comb through my Monocle each month to see what might be of interest to people who don’t buy Monocle or follow it on-line.  We all are in “over-load” in terms of what we can possibly digest in terms of news, information and perspectives.  So here are a series of […]
