EVENT: Keynote Speech at NTU in Taipei
On July 15, 2010, I delivered a 2-hour keynote address on the Green Generation, a theme of the Global Initiatives Symposium, organized by the National Taiwan University. Here’s the blurb for my talk/workshop…
The Green Generation: Redefining Success, Progress and Innovation
The next Green Revolution has already begun. Its seeds are being planted not in rice fields but in the fertile minds of today’s youth, many of whom are dreaming of a future where humankind can live in harmony and equilibrium with nature. If such a future is possible, it will require business, social and technological innovations unlike anything we’ve seen before. Is the next generation up for it? Only if they approach innovation differently, argues Charles Tsai, a champion of youth social entrepreneurs. New “green” models will need to account for outcomes, not just profits. And they will most likely be developed from the bottom up, starting with all of us… starting with you.
I was delighted by some of the feedback. One delegate told me my speech made her trip to Taiwan worth it.
In the afternoon, we had an unscheduled visit from the President of Taiwan (Republic of China). He answered questions from the delegates, who were interested in (mainly) cross straits relations with China.
Hi, I attended the keynote address that you gave in Taipei – I have to agree with the delegate that you mentioned in the above post. It really made my trip to Taiwan worth it. It definitely helped me put into perspective what I want to do in the next few years.
P.S. I was wondering if there was any way you could email the powerpoint to me (or is it posted online somewhere?). Thanks!
Thank you, Janet, for your kind words.
