I have written about this before, I suspect. So forgive me if this is another representation of that resource.Hanging out with Nigel Green and John Schlesinger is dangerous, so be warned. There be sacred cows being slaughtered in this post.It all start…
John Schlesinger is an event thinker par excellence. So whenever I get the chance, I visit him in London to validate some thinking – or just to spend time with a terrific guy! So on a recent trip to London the subject turned to the rise of event thinki…
