blua: If you’re unemployed, it’s not because there isn’t any work. Just look around: A housing shortage, crime, pollution; we need better schools and parks. Whatever our needs, they all require work. And as long as we have unsatisfied needs, there’s work to be done. So ask yourself, what kind of world has work but no jobs? It’s a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs, a world where work is only related to satisfying the profit needs of business. This country was not built by the huge corporations or government bureaucracies. It was built by people who work. And, it is working people who should control the work to be done. Yet, as long as employment is tied to somebody else’s profits, the work won’t get done.

Innovation is a word we often hear these days. It is a something that most companies, governments and individuals want to achieve but is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. In cases, it is associated with creativity, spontaneous thinking and lateral thinking. However, innovation can arise from systemic thinking and structured programs that create spaces for individuals with that kind of thinking to thrive.
