Greetings everyone!
I have been working on developing a new, much improved blog website... launching it today - http://bamboozling-bombay.com/
Therefore this blogger site will no longer be updated. So please subscribe to my new site.
Thanks for your support!!

Wow, my MBA committments have been eating up almost all of my available time recently. Since my work has been restricting me in updating this blog I figured I may as well use some of the more interesting aspects of my MBA study...
Currently, I'm working in a team that is engaged in a management consulting assignment for Create Innovate Gosford City, an 'empty spaces' initiative. More information on the organisation and the concept can be found here:

http://www.createinnovategosfordcity.com.au/
Basically, it is a project that secured long-term vacant real estate in the city CBD and facilitates creative groups to use the space... Similar projects in Germany and the U.S have been really successful in bringing life back to old, disused urban jungles. I believe that something similar can happen in Gosford. Local press coverage of Create Innovate's recent launch with five great creative installations, along with a mention of our team's work..

Consequently, these are excellent examples of social businesses, people doing what they love in business to better society, while also seeking to be financially sustainable. Anyway, my team is hoping to help this sustainability by looking at creating on-going financial and human resource viability for Create Innovate... Very confident we can see this great initiative set-up for the future! More info to follow...
