Evening Public Lectures

1. Human Capital: Rethinking Productivity
Rikk Watts
Respondent: Ricky Szeto

Description:
Leading edge management theory now recognizes the importance of design thinking if companies are to grow in an increasingly complex and competitive global market. But design is less a matter of control than vision, and vision can only be effective when the company’s and the consumer’s understanding of the good, the beautiful, and the true coincide. In this lecture we will discuss this new thinking, its origins, and offer an ancient but profound understanding of what such a vision should be.

2. Humanising Capital: Rethinking Land, Financial Markets and Globalisation
Paul Williams
Respondent: Raymond Tam

Description:
Place, land or physical space is critical to our human need for a sense of ownership, belonging and creativity, yet it does not register in most economics textbooks. Financial markets on the other hand are critical to the global economy, yet seem peripheral to real human needs and activity. This lecture will explore this oddity and offer an innovative perspective on space and money aiming to help humanize global capitalism.
