Factfulness - Hans Rosling

Rosling brilliantly argues that substantive supporting facts justify strong opinions, demonstrating that this naturally leads to greater optimism about the future. The framework enables us to make conclusions based on facts and data. It also means we’re cautiously optimistic about the future—understanding that the future can be great, but only if we make it so by solving problems.

  5. Branding: Cultivating enduring stories about our institution
  6. Cornered Resource: Providing access to an attractive resource or service
  7. Process Power: Developing efficient processes allowing for lower costs

The Infinite Game - Simon Sinek

The Infinite Game applies game theory to business, mathematically proving that businesses playing infinite games will always win against businesses playing finite games in the long run—though that may not even be their intention. The best strategy is “being different,” not “being the best,” striving to pursue a noble mission.

Hence why, our mission to power the future extends to infinity, and we’re only ever one step into our journey—on level zero. Our future is everything, and our journey will, forever more, have only just begun. We’re playing the infinite game.
