• Engineering Serendipity: how innovative organizations are engineering serendipity, harnessing social networks and new ways of working to cultivate the discovery of new ideas, inspire collaboration and creativity and spur employee engagement, learning and innovation.


• The New Geography of Trade, Talent, and Innovation: how the combination of the Internet and jet engine is redrawing the world map, creating new winners and losers among countries, cities, companies.


• Big, Smart and Green — How Cities Define Our Future:  As humans have become an urban species and our numbers will double by 2050 to more than 7 billion people, so every challenge we face will by definition become an urban one -- solving poverty, adapting to climate change, finding homes and opportunities for immigrants, creating jobs and growth and simply how to best get around.
