Taking the 4 key points from Part Two,
- Cross cultural skills such as flexibility, tolerance and strong observation skills
- Comfortable with ambiguity.
- Multi-dimensional world view.
- Open to other value systems.
Seems to me, when I look at these skills, bared to bone like that, I see a set of characteristics that also seem to describe a design thinker. Or a boundary spanner. Someone who would possess the right set of skills required for "The Conceptual Age".
Taking the thought one step deeper, a master of innovation, if you will. Does that help answer your email, Michael?
Great series of post. And I love the list of "ingredients" that make up a tasty bowl of "limnos". You're right; a great profile for designer/boundary spanner!
