| Dear E100: |
| |
| Sharing the Wealth... |
| |
| For over 2 decades, leaders within the ENTOVATION Network have played a major role in advancing the innovation agenda locally, regionally and globally. What have emerged are significant (oftentimes annual) events to coalesce talent. It is our eco-system – operating as a holonomy – to which we have contributed and from which we have learned. It has served as my own intelligence system; and it has been so for many of you. |
| |
| Many members have been able to participate in one or more of the E100 Roundtables convened in New York, Helsinki, Monterrey (MX), Barcelona, Muscat (Oman) and Boston. They have taken advantage of the interaction and many have leveraged one another. Wise ones have used the progress of others as their own inspiration. |
| |
| What I have observed recently, though, is an extraordinary increase in intensity, quality and alignment in the activities within in our constellation of networks. For this reason I would like to feature some of the initiatives forthcoming so you can take advantage of ones congruent with your own aspirations. |
| |
| Just LOOK at what has happened only Recently… |

|
| So, where have we BEEN? |
|
| |
| In 1987 when we began this journey, there were NO dedicated networks for innovation; so we created the E100. There were NO newsletters; so we created I3 Update/ENTOVATION News. There were NO forums to explore the implications of the knowledge economy on innovation – certainly not on a global or transnational basis; so we convened the E100 Roundtables. There were NO courses, so we created the Gyroscope. There was LITTLE diligent research on (what we called) zones of innovation; so we created the KIZ site. There were NO innovation awards; so we created one for the KEN Practitioner of the Year – KEN meaning to have knowledge and a range of vision. We even added-value with a collective contribution – a trilogy of books – on a new topic of interest: Knowledge Economics: Principles, Practices and Policies. |

| Hopefully, you have visited the recent E100 Alert on E100 Authors and the E100 Authors page itself. And you may be interested in the ENTOVATION PressRoom where we try to give visibility for all the activities of which we are aware! |
| |
| I’m certain I’ve missed considerable activity underway; and when we are aware, we can do our best to help leverage. Meanwhile, congratulations on your incredible work all year. Individually, it is impressive; collectively, it is simply AWESOME! |
| |
| Just imagine if we could once again be on a collaborative technology platform to optimize our interaction…and influence?! |
| |
|
Always in your Network,
|
