The world is transitioning into a quite different environment. Despite desperate measure after desperate measure, a most over-extended global Bubble is convulsing erratically. The economic pie is stagnating – and on its way to contracting. This dynamic ensures an increasingly powerful pull of diverging interests, disagreement, fragmentation and confrontation.

“The economic pie is stagnating – and on its way to contracting”
The economic pie is a human made pie. It is limited by the human imagination of what it is made of.
If it is shrinking, then we need to educate ourselves better of how we can add value to services and products and convince people that the value we add is something they want and even need.
