Why we need Innovation 

57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 Westerners, 8 Africans

80 would live in substandard housing70 would be unable to read

50 would suffer from malnutrition1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth

1 would have a college education1 would own a computer

from such a compressed perspective, the need for  INNOVATION  becomes dramatically apparent

shrink the earth's population to a village of exactly 100 people, with all the current human ratios remaining the same,   the result is:

the  Engine of  Innovation isdematerialization

Information

The percentage of information in every new product or new service is asymptotically moving to 100%.

The cost of information at every level is subject to a deflection of ~ 50% per year.

Exponential vs Linear view

history of technology shows that

technological change is exponential,

notBusiness Plan

A business model describesthe rationale of how an

organization creates, delivers,and captures value

A business process is a collection of related, structured activities that produce a specific 

service or product  for a particular customer

"In a time of change, it is learners who inherit the future. The learned find themselves well equipped to live in a world that no longer exists."
