========================
* Must Read: Innovation Now!
In the December issue of FAST COMPANY, Gary Hamel
has written a terrific piece that is right on target about
what's wrong with the back-to-basics business mindset.
Conventional wisdom says to get back to basics.
Conventional wisdom says to cut costs.
Conventional wisdom is doomed.
The winners are the innovators who are making bold thinking
an everyday part of doing business.

* 360 Creativity in Business at UArts
David is delivering the full 10-week Creativity in
Business program in partnership with the
University of the Arts starting February 11, 2003.
Here is the program description straight from the UArts
site - at a cost that is 90%, that's right - NINETY PERCENT -
DISCOUNTED from the corporate per person rate. Talk about a
deal!!

I'll let my friend Tom Peters have the last word on this:
"New approaches to doing business were once considered a
luxury, but now constant, rapid re-creating of our firms is
a matter of survival. This exceptional [program] not only
tells us that we can do it, but that it will even be fun.
This one could have been called "The Joy of Business."
