And the board meets at Legoland!

 Lego headquarters is in Billund, Denmark. A real cold, cold piece of land on the mainland of Denmark, I actually think it is close to Arctic but I was warned by my European colleagues that it was only close to the north sea. Out of our two days business meetings we actually had few hours to combine the amazing innovative Lego approach to the discussions we had and  actually had FUN.

TUSIAD Innovation Seminar

Turkish Industry and Business Association (TUSIAD) organized a seminar on innovation on March 14th in Istanbul, and the objective of the seminar is to encourage the university students to think differently and innovatively.

Ziya Boyacıgiller - Endeavour Advisory Board Member, Haluk Zontul – General Manager of Teknoloji Yatırım and Samir Deliormanlı – IP Licence Manager of Koç Conglomerate, from both academia and business world, attended the event. I am as a TUSIAD Technology and Innovation Working Group  President and Intel Middle East, Turkey and Africa Regional Director mostly talked about corporate innovations especially and to some extent individual innovations in her session. My ultimate message, to be remembered by the young people there, was that ‘Whatever you are doing right now, always think about how you can do it differently. That’s the only way you can add value to your life.’

Short blog on a reunion

We cramped half of lives in half hour hastily; and everything difficult popped out in no time. ‘I lost the blue painting, ‘out in cold in Toronto’’. He said ‘I will paint you another one.’ Then both of us queried ‘did you ever get to doing good?’ Long pauses of mumblings, half there. Then he asked ‘Where is the book?’; and soul got pinned to the bricks behind me.

Thought this is like Marquez’s hundred years of solitude coming in full circle. Too long to explain why.
