About
I am an independent researcher and theorist in the Systems Thinking community, working to contribute that community's developemental expertise to the sustainable development and corporate social responsibility movements. In my opinion, the SC and CSR movements must get beyond viewing the challenges we face as a collection of separate problems which can be fixed (or, to use the popular expression, "transformed") independently of each other. These problems are interrelated. And they are the product of the design of the larger system which contains them all: the global sociopolitical economic system.
It is that larger system which needs to be transformed.
This is what I am developing right now (beginning of August 2008). I attended the Tallberg Forum in Sweden in late June and am busy putting the thinking I did during that trip into action.
I would like to connect with other forward-thinking people throught this site, especially those with an interest in (and hopefully expertise as well) in the systems sciences. If you are a student of the work of Drs. W. Edwards Deming, Russell L. Ackoff, and/or Buckminster Fuller, that would be great!!!
I am a long time participant and supporter of The UN Global Compact through my research and development business, Trimtab Management Systems. I also blog from time to time on politics, the media, and solutions to society's problems on The Huffington Post.
Here is a link to a video of me asking a thought provoking question about global peace and security of Tom Friedman, Joseph Stiglitz, and Ted Kopell at an event in April of 2006. They really got into talking about the issue I raised.... for about seven minutes...
