How to Set Up a Corporate Innovation Outpost That Works. How to Set Up a Corporate Innovation Outpost That Works This is the fourth in a series about corporate innovation co-authored with Evangelos Simoudis.
Evangelos and I are working on what we hope will become a book about the new model for corporate entrepreneurship. Read part one on the Evolution of Corporate R&D, part two on Innovation Outposts in Silicon Valley, and part three The 6 Decisions to Make Before Setting up an Innovation Outpost. In our last post, we addressed the six key questions that senior management should address to determine if an Innovation Outpost makes sense for a company. How Do You Beat iPhone? — Backchannel.

The answer is two phones — and one is not big, flat and shiny Why is there not more innovation and invention happening in the smartphones space? The Snow Maiden of Slavic Folklore: Magical Characters of Winter from Russia. Ded Moroz, translated to (Grand)father Frost, or Old Man Frost, is a legendary Slavic character that makes his rounds every New Year’s Eve.
Along with his companion, Snegurochka (Snow Maiden), he brings delight to children as the two provide the little ones with gifts.

The whole thing began over a puddle in a driveway. The two men are next-door neighbors in Lyford Cay, a gated community on New Providence, an island in the Bahamas, and for years it had been a peaceful adjacency.

Consciousness Wars. The following is an excerpt from my new book, The Secret Teachers of the Western World.
In it I look at the history of the western esoteric or ‘inner’ tradition through the lens of the work of two important thinkers, the German-Swiss philosopher Jean Gebser, and the contemporary neuroscientist and English scholar Iain McGilchrist. My central idea is that the western esoteric tradition has been a victim of what we might call a “consciousness war,” which has been taking place over the last several centuries. In The Ever-Present Origin, Gebser argues that the western mind has moved through different “structures of consciousness,” and is at present undergoing the breakdown of what he calls the “mental-rational consciousness structure,” in preparation for the emergence of the new, “integral” structure of consciousness.

My aim is not to disembark from “serious” esoteric traditions (more on that in a moment); nor is it to discontinue my work as a historian. Autotelics: Who Are They? And Why You Might Be One.

Any emotional attachment to anything three-dimensional that manipulates us into believing that our well-being and illusory happiness depends upon the emotional gratification we receive from the illusory sensory pleasure, is the poison that keeps us from what reality ultimately is.
