The document discusses how a holistic business model can boost Africa's economy through natural energy. It argues that international oil companies currently do not consider social and environmental responsibilities as core to their business. A holistic model, like that of Belize Natural Energy, addresses financial, social, and environmental value through partnerships with governments, communities, and investors. This creates long-term sustainable benefits for host countries by responsibly developing natural resources.
Beyond the blockbuster model
The traditional blockbuster model that drove pharmaceutical industry growth in the 1990s is under pressure from slowing scientific innovation, rising development costs, and tougher customers in prescribers, payors, and patients. However, investor expectations for revenue growth remain high. To meet these expectations, companies will need to develop new business strategies beyond the blockbuster model. Thinking in terms of "Business Designs" - the different ways companies can access, develop, and market drugs - can help leadership frame new strategic choices to find future profit zones.
The document discusses using Photoshop and AutoCAD digital tools to modify images and design 3D objects. It describes using Photoshop tools like levels, colour balance, and liquify to change a photo's colour, textures and shapes. It also explains creating a 3D table in Photoshop using spheres, cylinders, pyramids and teapots, and drawing squares and rectangles in AutoCAD using commands like line, fillet, chamfer, rotate and offset.

The document discusses issues with common approaches to "gamification". It argues that many gamification efforts focus only on superficial elements like points and badges without incorporating meaningful game design principles. This results in "exploitationware" that uses extrinsic motivators to encourage behaviors but lacks intrinsic challenges that make games engaging. True gamification requires integrating feedback and rewards into systems with engaging core mechanics that provide learning and flow experiences for users.

Theatre in Britain faced many challenges during and after World War 2. Bombings during the war destroyed many theatres in London and forced productions to close. ENSA was formed to provide entertainment for troops during the war. After the war, the Workers' Theatre Movement used agitprop style to promote political messages critiquing capitalism and fascism. Joan Littlewood helped establish the influential Theatre Workshop in 1945, producing anti-war plays that broke conventions. Theatre groups explored new styles and political themes to entertain and educate audiences during this turbulent period in Britain's history.
