The primary engine driving economic growth is innovation. And we are in the midst of transitioning to a new innovation landscape as corporations are dying and the startup ecosystem matures. The innovation landscape is the overlapping theme for most of what I’m thinking about and working on. I’m interested in how we can increase collaboration, access more capital, push the interconnectivity and support systems a step further and increase the overall size of the ecosystem by getting more aspiring entrepreneurs across the chasm of commitment.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Pre-Accelerator. Accelerator. Post Accelerator.<\/p>\n

5 stages of the entrepreneurial journey<\/a><\/p>\n

Startups engaging collaboratively in complex value chains to achieve the scale of corporations, called the Lego Model and described here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This overarching theme connects my many interests: (I find the “I, it, we, its” a helpful organizing framework) I: talent development, psychology, learning, education, mental technologies; It: Personal productivity, food, athletic, health, energy management; We: community, social interaction, culture, collaboration; Its: geopolitics, interconnectedness, foresight, accelerating technological change, startups, behavioral economics, environmental sustainability, systems thinking;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
