Rick Blickstead is a visionary leader who seems to dream in practical changes. I was inspired by his knowledge mobilization focus which is on outcomes rather than activities. He insists that social change will come through action – that sometimes the best solution is the one that is implemented rather than the potentially better one that is forever discussed. He argues for social entrepreneurship and for a culture that permits failure because it encourages risk. The concepts of mass customization, networks of outcome, and the measurement of outcomes, are all important to supporting decision making in our increasingly diverse society. Enjoy and be prepared to be stimulated.
