I totally agree. The area of values are under studied and undervalued (excuse the pun) yet in my opinion drives all decision making whether we know it or not. I’d love to study the area of axiology ( the philosophical study of value) yet I find very little on the subject, unless it’s about morals or ethics. Can you recommend anything? Looking forward to developing my knowledge and insights in this area.

Thrilled to have been forwarded your blog, just what I’m researching and developing
myself. I look forward to future possible synergies.
Warm wishes

Hi Vanessa, thanks so much for your amazing work. I am interested in learning more about your excursion to Mexico in 2010 (http://emergentbydesign.com/2010/11/30/creative-entrepreneurship-day-1). Would you be willing to swap an email or two to briefly discuss? Thanks so much!

Hi Vanessa-

I’m working with a master’s program in Sweden called “Sustainable Product-Service Innovation” – would love to have you stop by and talk with our students if you’re ever in the neighborhood!

Keep up the good work-
Tony

Vanessa, It is such fun and gives me such hope to see folks taking up ideas and concerns I’ve had for the past 20 years, or so. One thing I don’t see discussed here are values and the decision-making processes that stem from them. This is where I’ve landed after years of reflection. The biggest challenge, I think comes from creating coherence. We have grand ideas and strong beliefs, but we do not recognize if they hang together, or not. I watched a movie last night (Thrive) where they stated “we are all one” and proceeded to act as if that was the basis of everything they were saying, but they ended up saying that we promote no violation of others, except in self-defense. SO, if “we are all one’ just exactly who are we defending ourselves against? It is this kind of fuzziness I’m trying to address. I’d love to have partners to explore and test my thinking….
