Social design & Shaolin sell-outs

| | | Comments (2)

Still using the break to gain some perspective. In the meantime, here are a few news items that stick out:

  • This article has been making the rounds in design circles, and it really is a must-read for do-gooders of all stripes. I've been writing about the link between design and social benefit for a while, and it's a theme whose importance will only grow.
  • Bruce Nussbaum on the shift from innovation to transformation. I have much more to say on that--in fact, I've already said a fair bit about it, if you read my articles carefully. What social enterprise folks should note: it's not just the talk about earned income & learning from hedge funds that face obsolescence.
  • FilmLA has been in the news due to the decline of filming in Los Angeles. What I hadn't known: that a nonprofit coordinates movie, tv & ad shoots in the area.
  • When can museums sell their works?
  • Shaolin monks inspire controversy with their temple management franchise initiative.
  • BBC announces the next Doctor today!
