THE HEALTH DESIGN CHALLENGE BY OBAMA is an inspiring story of putting a problem out there for anybody to try and solve, and this resulted in an engaging solution. FANTASTIC, imaginative, and dare I say, disruptive! No RFPs and picking a single group to undertake the work. Imagine this as a reward-based general method anybody can use to solve almost any type of problem? http://lnkd.in/tW7PvM View in LinkedIn

THE PATENT CLIFF IN PHARMA IS A GAME CHANGER. Tiny and larger specialty Pharma companies are the future Big Pharma pipeline. This has been true for a while, because of the Patent Cliff. The elephant in the room is how such big organizations either did not know the cliff was coming, or failed to act on that knowledge? Any clues? http://lnkd.in/Wt_kvr View in LinkedIn

WILL THE OFFICE AS WE KNOW IT TODAY BE DEAD IN FIVE YEARS? Join the dots of trends today and one conclusion is that if not dead, the work environment of today seems poised to change radically. With teleconferencing, this does not throw the baby out with the bath water:. Group brainstorming and updates are easy. If this trend is true, the urban migration of recent decades could reverse, and those with elder parent care issues will not just have binary choices. The societal impact could be significant. Watch this space! http://lnkd.in/95NkMG View in LinkedIn

FOLLOW YOUR PASSION and the rest will fold into place. A Yevtushenko poem spoke of doing things well, whether you are a shoemaker or something else. Find the thing that you cannot stop thinking about with joy, and lear. Everything you can, but above all, dare to dream. View in LinkedIn

THE TRUMP DISEASE IS NOT KNOWING WHEN TO STOP. While "protect your downside" was memorable advice, not knowing when to stop was also a memorable lesson. ENTREPRENEURS, DECIDE ON A NUMBER, at which point you have satisfied your needs and wants. When you reach it, stop, and give back. This is not an eternal treadmill. View in LinkedIn

THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS WILL MARK WHO YOU ARE. Your word is non-negotiable. Your intentionality must be clean and transparent. Your integrity about honoring debts and IOUs cannot be compromised. These are all the values of an entrepreneur with heart and mind who will be the Best Of Breed. Business is not a dirty game if you don't make it so, and steer clear from those who do. View in LinkedIn

ENTREPRENEURS MUST TOLERATE THE UNKNOWN AND CHAOS far more than most business people, because they are at the fuzzy edge of "What If". It is a space that is intensely uncomfortable for most of us. It is both intellectually uncomfortable (can it be done?) and intensely personal (my family may be bankrupt if I fail). This is not for everybody. Think hard if you are cut out for it, and no shame of you are not. The worst thing is a bad fit. View in LinkedIn
