6.30pm: Business Innovation with Richard Branson
Environmental limits are already forcing changes to the way we do business, but how do we create the innovation culture needed to meet the challenges ahead?
A panel, chaired by Jonathon Porritt, will discuss those challenges and new business models, before we are joined by Richard Branson on a live video link to answer audience questions about creating innovation.
Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group, was awarded a knighthood for âservices to entrepreneurshipâ. He joined Nelson Mandela, Graça Machel, and Desmond Tutu to form The Elders, a group of independent leaders that seeks sustainable solutions to global humanitarian issues. In 2010, he launched the Carbon War Room to mobilize capital, innovation, expertise and entrepreneurs to advance climate change efforts. His most recent book is titled âScrew Business as Usualâ.
8.30pm: Economic Innovation with Charles Eisenstein
We assume human wants are unlimited, that people prefer to gratify their desires sooner rather than later, that human needs (and indeed everything real) are quantifiable. These assumptions extend their influence far beyond economics. Charles will explore where they came from, and what the world might look like when they shift.
Charles Eisenstein is a teacher, speaker, and writer focusing on themes of civilization, consciousness, money, and human cultural evolution. David Korten says Eisenstein is âone of the up-and-coming great minds of our time.â
Charles will be joined by Jacqueline McGlade, who at the end of May will have completed an incredible ten years as director of the European Environment Agency, based in Copenhagen. Sheâll be reflecting on that experience, and discussing the new work sheâs moving on to â including her involvement with the Gross National Happiness Commission in Bhutan.
