MESSAGE FOR WEEK BEGINNING 17th September 2001

World Centre for Thinking

In November, in Paris, there is to be a high level meeting to discuss my idea of setting up, somewhere, a World Centre for New Thinking. There is plenty of analysis and information thinking taking place but no world body which focuses on new thinking. Yet for problem solving, conflict resolution, improvement etc. there is such a huge need for new concepts and new perceptions.

You can analyse the past but you have to design the future

We need between twenty five and fifty members. These can be individuals, countries, corporations, NGOs etc. These would be foundation members. Anyone who introduces a foundation member also becomes a foundation member. If you would like further information let me know.
