The Pivot

Retreat and reflect, allow the inner knowing to emerge.

Brian Arthur

Incumbents have to figure out different ways to use their assets, capabilities and most difficultly their cultures to compete in a very different market that is coming at them at a speed they can scarcely imagine and much faster than their cultures will find it easy to cope with.

Almost everything around you, was made by people that were no smarter than you.

You can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.

Steve Jobs

We’re seeing a continuing sharp, exponential decline in the cost of renewable energy ..........

in many parts of the world, renewable energy is leap-frogging fossil fuels
