Dear all
Just sharing the following link:
http://www.isisacademy.com/resources/
with those among us who have not yet heard about an interesting report by
Alan AtKisson of the AtKisson Group
(http://www.AtKisson.com<http://www.atkisson.com/>),
recently commissioned by the Tokyo based 'Institute for Studies in
Happiness, Economy, and Society' (http://ishes.org/en/). AtKisson's report
is a broad overview of the current paradigm change, slowly away from the
centuries old Political Economy "Growth" paradigm, towards a "Gross
National Happiness" hopefully deriving from an already burgeoning "Green
Economy".
Whether in academy completing a PhD, teaching or researching, or in
business practice, I thought important for us all to be aware and to
explore further how our field of Design would fit in, and eventually
actively contribute to the implementation of the new paradigm.
Best wishes
Francois
