Weak signals

There will be a lot more on this, particularly when our Breakthrough Capitalism website (breakthrough capitalism.com) is up this week, but a quick note here on our first event in the series, held at The Spring Project, in Vauxhall Walk.  We started at 14.00 and went on to 18.00, then went on to The Black Dog around the corner.

A wonderful event, with burst of dazzling sunshine pouring into the old bedspring factory space, followed by rain hammering down on the roof. We managed to attract some 50 people, having tried to get 35, and that despite the fact that a number couldn't make it at the last moment or, in one case, got lost on the way.

David Christie of Innovation Arts and The Value Web kicked us off with a backcasting process, getting us to think forward to 17 April 2022 -- we assumed that major changes had happened by then, and looked back at how they had come to pass. The event will also be the subject of my next blog for my Inside Sustainability series on the Guardian Sustainable Business website.
