Driving the Tesla Roadster

Yesterday after a working meeting at Nike, we got the chance to have a little test drive with the Tesla Roadster, the electric car that is admired in Hollywood and Silicon Valley. This little rocket pioneers the transition to EV driving and goes from 0 to 100 km in less then 4 seconds. Their would be eight of them in Belgium so far. Thanks again Serge for giving us the occasion to drive your little orange motherfucker! It is great to experience this little frontrunner of a new era.

Our business game on sustainable business innovation 'play-it-forward' in DE TIJD

Yesterday, 'De Tijd' dedicated a full report (11 pages!) on sustainability in its newspaper. It is a mix of articles on new eco-services, policies, practices, CSR-reporting, and a quick tour on what's happening on sustainability in the Belgian Business Community.

Things like CSR, energy-efficiency, carbon footprinting, Lifecycle analysis and fairtrade are instruments that a lot of professionals start to adopt today, and are familiar with.

I'm very happy that De Tijd also provided a lot of attention to our Business Game "play-it-forward" that does not starts from a 'responsability' point of view, but which is more like a creative and innovation approach. The main idea behind the business game is that you can create sustainability by improving and altering your business model.

On top of that: it is a game. That means that people discover the power of business model innovation in an intuitive, creative and competitive way. People easily get rid of barriers like departmental thinking, or keeping attached to business conventions.

Taste the Waste

Taste the Waste - Trailer from bosrtv on Vimeo.

Seems to be a promising documentary that will be shown at the Dutch National television: NED2, 16th of October; 9u30 and 17th of october, 23u00. When it comes to food spill, the movie shows us the astonishing numbers, the problems, the developments and possible solutions.

Dutch documentaries are often hurricanes. This reminds me of 'here comes the sun', or 'waste equals food' (Tegenlicht/ VPRO), and what revolution they were for the cradle-to-cradle awareness in Holland, and how they kickstarted a new way of thinking.
