Doing some good and making some money for ISPI

One of the very best conferences I ever attended (and was a presenter) was one designed by Roger Addison and Don Tosti on change. Every presentation was excellent and I found myself attending all of the session I could. Perhaps this could be done again...and the timing is certainly right.

..on Yoowe Santana's post on coaching

First, I do have to suggest that my objection to using "need" as a verb is not casual. When one does so, they are allowing a confusion between means and ends.

Second, coaching is a viable process and ends up often in individual and group performance improvement and reward. It is also important to link all of that to measurable health, survival, and self-sufficiency as well as to quality of life. Measurable.

building on Alberto Felix's insights

Felix is right. And this film show much of the power of Mega. We might do well to remember that a system approach starts and ends with societal value-added while a systems approach falls short of that. Also, while understanding the magnficient interactions of all parts--internal and external--let's not forget that Mega from the outset starts with societal good.

Yoowe Santana is making some very good points.
Interestingly, both India and China are deviating from Mega while they are leaping ahead economically: they both have abject poverty and are polluting enourmous amounts in their leap forward.
