What makes places like Silicon Valley tick?
Can we replicate that magic in other places?
How do you foster innovation in your own networks?
The Rainforest is a groundbreaking new book from two of the world’s leading experts at the intersection of venture capital and global development. Victor W. Hwang and Greg Horowitt propose a radical new theory to explain the nature of innovation ecosystems -- human networks that generate extraordinary creativity and economic output. They argue that free market thinking fails to consider the impact of human nature on the innovation process. This ambitious work challenges basic assumptions that economists have held for over a century.
Kirkus Revews: "insightful, forward-thinking..." "provocative..." "Hwang and Horowitt write with authority and wit, carefully backing up their theory with substantive examples. Readers get the feeling that the authors have unveiled a very big, important concept, one that could serve as the basis for intentionally, methodically developing other “rainforests” similar to Silicon Valley."

No other system is as complex and adaptable as the human brain. Studying the brains of creative geniuses like da Vinci yields insights into how visionaries respond to complexity and create world-changing innovations. Exceptional imagination and performance comes from the ability to access different ways of thinking, to see the interconnectedness of everything, and to reach different states of consciousness. In this talk we explore how we might apply an understanding of the neurobiology of genius to both organizational structures and behavior. When the ‘neurobiology’ of the organization has been seeded and guided just so, workplaces of extraordinary creativity and adaptability emerge. Dan invites attendees to imagine ways to apply these ideas to the evolution of their enterprises, networks, and even themselves.

The Social Intrapreneurs - A Guide by SustainAbility, IDEO, Skoll, AllianzSustainable Brands
Published in partnership with The Skoll Foundation, Allianz and IDEO, the report presents a field guide to the world of social intrapreneurship – its challenges and opportunities – and draws on in-depth research undertaken by SustainAbility in twenty leading global corporations.
Building on SustainAbility’s earlier research into social enterprise, the field guide spotlights a new breed of social entrepreneur within big business – the social intrapreneur. These corporate changemakers work inside big business, often against the prevailing status quo, to innovate and deliver market solutions to some of the world’s most pressing social and environmental challenges.
Babele - How to achieve collective intelligenceEmanuele Musa
Disruptive change and innovation, digital businesses, a new business paradigm are some of the most popular terms to describe the current business environment.
Behind these trendy words, there is one key concept - the world and business are changing at incredible speeds - and companies need to change with them.
Change and innovation are not any nicer to have for a company - they’re mandatory.
The business environment changes so rapidly, according to a Deloitte study, over 88% of the Fortune 500 companies from 1970, do not exist anymore. So the main question is - how can businesses change and keep on innovating?
Fostering intrapreneurship is one of the answers. But the big mistake would be to put too much faith on the innovator alone. According to Harvard professor Linda Hill: innovation is not about solo Genius, it is about collective genius.
Thus, it's only when these 2 trends collide that we can develop disruptive and sustainable solutions, that produce unprecedented levels of economic prosperity, environmental quality, and social equity, meeting the needs of present society without compromising resources for future generations.

“We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us” John Culkin, SJ
Technogenic cultures, such as ours, demonstrate tightly-coupled economic systems with cultural production. This has become a self-reinforcing societal process, where the production of technological efficiencies becomes an inviolable social good desirable as product of culture.
Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

3. 1994 Professors Susan and John Gauch at the University of
Kansas received a $15,000 grant to build a meta-
search technology. They called it Jayhawk Search.
4. 1995 A spectacular success. 300,000 users per month.
Moved to dedicated server. Launched company
called ProFusion.
1996 1,000,000 users per month.
1997 PC Magazine named Meta-Search Engine of

7. Neoclassical economists say… “Meh.”
Individual stories are no big deal. The macro-system
works when self-interested rational actors compete.
Eugene Fama &

8. Cluster theorists say… “Natch.”
It’s all easy to explain. Micro-level enterprises only
thrive when pools of talent are concentrated
geographically.
Michael Porter &
Cluster Theory
9. But there is a huge disconnect
between theory and reality.
10. The neoclassical model does not
account for the serious difficulties faced
by the Gauches based in Kansas…
Massive lack of access to customers,
talent, capital, markets, managers, etc.
13. An exhaustive study of 1,604 companies…
“The results indicate that firm innovation in
urban Norway is mainly driven by global
pipelines, rather than local interaction. … Local
and even national interaction seems to be
irrelevant for innovation.”
Rune Dahl Fitjar and Andrés Rodríguez-Pose, “When local interaction does not
suffice: Sources of firm innovation in urban Norway”, February 2011
15. The world needs a new
paradigm that is both
descriptive and prescriptive.
Billions of lives, hundreds of
billions of dollars at stake.
16. The Development of Economic Thought?
“…the understanding that principles that
underlie biological systems are the same
principles that underlie all living systems.”

23. And real human beings are separated

25. The Secret of Innovation Ecosystems
Rainforests thrive because of culture
that overcomes social system

27. It’s not just creative destruction.
Far more important—and harder—
is creative reassembly.
28. Like a fractal equation in nature…

29. …what is the micro cultural pattern that
generates macro phenomena in places
