Eddie Obeng: Smart failure for a fast-changing world
October 17, 2012 by Judith PendergrastEddie Obeng might talk faster than anyone you have ever met, but it’s only because he has so much to say. Obeng is the founder of Penacle, an online business school where “new world management” is taught. Because here’s the thing: the world is different than it was fifteen years ago, and it is constantly changing. Obeng makes the point that we cannot keep solving our problems with the “old world” rules. So let’s make a change together, and then success will fall into our laps.
Watch his TED Talk from the TED Global 2012 conference. It’s inspiring, funny, and filled with such interesting perspective. Just make sure you’re listening closely. It’s easy to miss some of the things Obeng says due to his excitement and speed.

Mr. Obeng is a fascinating speaker, and I like his ideas! They include: global solutions using web based interconnectivity combined with shared creative innovations, the concept of being our own CEOs in a global corporation at our own computers, and my personal fav, the wisdom of “smart failures” in our exploration of new solutions to our new problems, in our ever changing world
