This presentation is one I use with companies, students and others to offer a quick historial perspective on where we are today and how we got here. Beginning with Isaac Newton losing £20,000 on the South Sea Bubble in 1720, to present day collaboration issues, this version also offers some brief perspectives on Africa. Contact me if you'd like me to give this presentation to your colleagues. It's more effective with some audio related context! tobias.webb@innovation-forum.co.uk
