Comments on: An Interview with Frank Dixon – Founder of Global Systems Change http://inspiredeconomist.com/2008/12/09/an-interview-with-frank-dixon-founder-of-global-systems-change/ Discussing the people, ideas, and companies that redefine capitalism and inspire positive change Tue, 22 May 2012 18:32:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Evan http://inspiredeconomist.com/2008/12/09/an-interview-with-frank-dixon-founder-of-global-systems-change/comment-page-1/#comment-16578 Evan Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:50:11 +0000 http://inspiredeconomist.com/?p=945#comment-16578 I heard Dixon speak at a conference in Boston in February 2009 put on by Starting Bloc. Much like in this post, his words were dead on. And yet, most of the "young leaders/professionals" in the room felt he was too abstract and not practical enough, where as most of them all swooned at Tom Szaky's TerraCycle for being more real-world-ready. And yet, I got the feeling that following TerraCycle still brings us to world collapse as it doesn't fix the consumption problem in the system - Global System Change attempts to. Regardless, as someone who wants to go to MBA school to better help social innovations/ventures/enterprises, I'm skeptical of the current pedagogy if I'm going to learn non-systems thinking, and metrics that will "destroy the world" so to speak. Any tips on "new age" system competent programs? I heard Dixon speak at a conference in Boston in February 2009 put on by Starting Bloc. Much like in this post, his words were dead on.
