NDUNA - Executive Advisor to the Chief

One of the thinkers that we admire a lot is Kishore Mahbubani, Dean and Professor in the Practice of Public Policy at Uni. of Singapore. The reason is that the prof. Mahbubani is able to make us Westeners realize that when you – due to political, economic and structural liberalization – set free the brains of billions of Asians, you will get a tsunami of entrepreneurship flooding Europe and the US.

We invite you to take 30 minutes off. Grab a cup of tea, lean back and listen to this former diplomat, envisioning our future.

NDUNA is the proud winner of an EU tender on personal coaching programs for staff at European Environment Agency.

The aim of the EEA is to ensure that decision-makers and the general public are kept informed about the state and outlook of the environment. The EEA vision is to become recognised as the world’s leading body for the provision of timely, relevant and accessible European environmental data, information, knowledge and assessments.

A book worth reading, if you want to frce yourself out of the European etnocentrism and get going in Asia, including China and India:

A note from Kishore Mahbubani:

For over two decades, I have lived the life of a nomadic intellectual, absorbing ideas at great intellectual watering holes, like Davos and Aspen, Ditchley and Pocantico. Initially, I was overwhelmed by the confidence and energy of Western intellectuals. They had sharp minds, always producing new insights as they spoke.

It has come as a huge personal shock for me to see this same group of Western intellectuals now becoming totally blind to emerging new realities. At a time of rapid change, these Western minds remain complacent and smug. I tried to puncture this smugness in my speeches and columns. Sadly, I failed. They could not see that we are moving from a monocivilizational world to a multi-civilizational world.

These failures taught me a lesson. The only way to persuade the West of the need to change mindsets was to try and develop an alternative weltanschauung. That is the ambitious goal of this book. If we do not wake the West up from its intellectual complacency, we are headed for trouble.
