Innovation and efficiency are the bedrock of the IT industry; but we need to demystify technology and business trends and explain their relevance to our daily lives. I am attracted to the larger questions of power, knowledge, international relations, and the global political economy.

Building a sense of focus, coherence and alliancing in the global knowledge agenda wiith a network of professionals dealing with issues of knowledge, media, strategy and development.

The Knowledge Economy is based on continuous learning and innovation, respect for intellectual property and the public good, and above all respect for peace and justice.

Challenge: Keeping up with the dizzying pace of change in new media, business practices, and globalisation! Knowledge can be accompanied by enlightenment, humility and prosperity -- and also arrogance, greed and loneliness. Choose wisely!
