Think Dif Part Two!

Part 2 of my Disruptive Innovation Festival (DIF) series for the Ellen MacArthur Foundation airs this Friday at 9:30am PST. This one is LIVE, and gets into the ACTUAL biology of ultra-social organisms like ants and termites and what we can learn from them about making our businesses faster, smarter, and more valuable, followed by a live Q&A. This one will be crazy cool, don't miss it. Once again, it's free, just register

What if Business Was BioInspired? (from the Sustainable Brands Conference)

I had the pleasure of attending the Sustainable Brands Conference in San Diego last week as a member of the press. It's always exciting to see big name corporations embracing sustainability, but this year I felt like a tipping point is in the works. Many big names are now trying to go beyond sustainability, and into regeneration. Could ecosystems thinking become a reality? Here is an article I wrote for Triple Pundit on my take. More to come!
