We explored Self-sufficiency in our last Co-Session, learning not just by knowing about the new opportunities on the horizon for companies responding to the need of more sustainable production and consumption ways, but also by participating in different hands-on workshops on innovatives approaches to energy generation, self-fabrication and virtual reality.
To become more familiar with the concept of self-sufficiency and interact with some of the relevant technology, we held our Co-Session #26 in GREEN FABLAB Valldaura, an old Catalan farmhouse located in the Collserola forest that is now converted into a project laboratory focused on making reality their vision for a self-sufficient Barcelona.
Ecoimagination, GE’s growth strategy to reduce environmental impact at a global scale through commercial solutions could be considered as a success ten years after its kick-off. Coinciding with its 10th anniversary, the strategy received a new boost last year with a new program with collaboration at its core.
It’s still not easy to find companies where collaboration goes beyond a particular case and need and has been embraced as a key and even essential element of its general strategy and business model. GE is undoubtedly one of such still scarce cases.
Summer is here. And with it, as regularly as higher temperatures and holydays, are also reading recommendations published by newspapers and magazines. We wanted to keep up with the general inclination to recommend readings for current or coming holidays. So here you have some books we think make a good reading for this summer. Of course, all of them on the subject of collaboration within and between organizations, as it could not have been otherwise.
