Well, i'm still working with week 1 materials, but hope to catch the ideal next week... I found the John Daniel's speech really enlightening , informative and also had a lot of fun reading it. This part was funniest , and at the same time , a fine example of 'out of box' thinking:
"Another example of the need for broad thinking about technology comes from Latin America. How do you get children to school in a rural, mountainous region when they live a good way away and you don't want them to arrive at school already tired out? The answer was that you get hold of some donkeys. The problem is that it is difficult to buy donkeys under the United Nations procurement guidelines. These guidelines require performance specifications, tendering and suchlike. The solution is to hire the donkeys as consultants, which is fine under the UN rules. Donkeys also have one great advantage compared to human consultants - they do not write reports. " (Daniels, J. 2002)
