Tonight will be very short....it is 1:40AM and I have just returned to the hotel. So consider this more a 'table of contents' that I will fill in tomorrow afternoon.
A very full day. It began with a session for the Young Global Leaders on Weak Signals and anticipating surprise, which I co-led with Angela Wilkinson formerly of Shell scenario planning and now of Oxford. The participants found an interesting intersection between communications, technology and governance.
Then, a great conversation with our new partner Larry Keeley of Doblin Inc. who I knew of but had never met.
Lunch was on the post content world....really about the digital transformation of the media.
Much discussion of Bill Gates speech on why capitalism needs to be more compassionate...very much skepticism about Bill especially from Mitch Kapor.
The afternoon went particularly well...a three hour session on clean energy with really great participants. The speeches of the Asean Prime Ministers and nice conversation with the Singaporean PM. The annual Accel Partners cocktail party known for the best wine and art was followed by the dinner I chaired on nuclear power and climate change. The evening ended back at the Accel party for a good glass of wine and a brief conversation with the editor of the FT.
The evening ended with a long conversation with Peter Gabriel who was on crutches having broken his leg skiing at New Year. It was at the Google Party...the highlight of which was introducing Peter to Carl Bildt, Sweden's Foreign Minister on cooperation with the Elders.
More later....
