THE GLOBAL IDEA FACTORY
A new way to look at our world and its problems
WHY THE GLOBAL IDEA FACTORY?
​
The Global Idea Factory represents the dawn of a new approach!
​
​
​
Success in the future is a matter of mindset, not technology, not money.
​
More and more socio-economic issues are becoming intractable because the process for reaching solutions is ineffective.
​​
To start with, we need a completely new form of dialogue: The live, bottom-up, trust-building conversation called The Bildung Rose - ask us about it!​
​
Queen Margrethe II (New Year 2018 Public address):
“…We do not take the time to understand one another, and we forget to respect and care about each other.”
“Meeting face to face and talking to one another build trust.”
​
Pierre Rosanvallon (French philosopher):
“The more we listen to other people, the less confident we become in our opinion about what is best for all of us.”
​
Jens Chr. Grøndahl (author):
“What separates us is not as important as what we have in common.”
“In the absence of information and insight, demagogues rule freely.”
THE GLOBAL IDEA FACTORY. . .
- has no chairman, no board, no minutes of meetings, no budgets. We cover more than 12 time zones and use paperless communication!
​
- uses the Kaizen philosophy: The principle of never-ending improvement.
​
- follows two mottos:
The task is the boss!
and...
We never fail; we either succeed or we learn something new!
- focuses on developing, evaluating, and creating out-of-the-box solutions when broken communication, negative atmosphere, or lack of information and insight, get in the way of progress or solutions!
THE MEMBERS ARE . . .
​. . . unconventional, very busy people who work hard, who play, read, and travel a lot, who meet people of many backgrounds, and who are endlessly curious.
​
. . . 50/50 men/women of all ages and from as many countries/cultures as possible . . .
for example:
- a Mr. Fix-It-All and "efficiencist"
- a comedian/actress/pole acrobat
- an IT and education professional
- a social repair-woman
- an image creator
- an aeronaut
- a wordsmith and communicator
- a Renaissance man

WE NEED NEW VANTAGE POINTS
Decision makers in charge today have demonstrated that they do not have the solutions to the problems they created and presided over in the past two decades.
​
They are so convinced they know what is best for everyone that they have lost sight of - and respect for - other points of view.
​
We need to see things from new perspectives.
ALL STAKEHOLDERS MUST BE HEARD
No area reflects the need for change more than how we ENGAGE YOUNG PEOPLE.
For generations, the opinions of young people have been ignored - even in areas that directly impact their lives.
If we want a better future, we need to engage them in the solutions by giving them a forum for expressing how they see things should be shaped.
It is, after all, their future we are dealing with.
