Better choices

Thinkers50 is addressing the purpose and actions of future businesses. For those of you unfamiliar with Thinkers50: It is a conference facilitating the sharing of good ideas. Actually great ideas. Those kind of ideas that shape the world. This years' theme was "Making Better Choices". Today, both thinkers and businesses are interested in making the world a better place, and they do so by mirroring the values of their consumers and workers who aim for a better world.

Since 2001, Des Dearlove and Stuart Crainer – founders of the Thinkers50 – have been scanning, ranking and sharing the very best ideas in management thinking. It has been a shift away from focusing on "Who is most influential?" to "What are the most influential ideas?" Every second year, an updated list is published, celebrating management thinking and thinkers that enable organizations and individuals to perform more effectively, responsibly and successfully. I met some of the inspiring thinkers encouraging creating a better world through leadership all over the world. I really encourage you to read six short articles, introducing the thoughts of great business thinkers. Hopefully, you will be just as inspired as I did. Enjoy:

Innovation
New requirements need better and accurate solutions – But how do we do that?
