If longevity were to improve by half a percent a year for 400 years, someone with a life expectancy now of 75 years could live to be over 250! While some scientists cite 180 years as the outside limit on the potential life span, who knows what might be learned in the future? Perhaps people will grow their own new stem cells for cloned body parts that will be replaced every 50 to 75 years.]]> no@spam.com (Donald Mitchell) Sun, 27 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/341775/1/Live-like-2408-in-2008-V/Page1.html http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/341773/1/Live-like-2408-in-2008-III/Page1.html

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

In 1995, I launched the 400 Year Project, a search for ways of accomplishing 400 years of normal improvements in only 20 years. The concept was simple: Spend 20 years locating and demonstrating ways to accelerate worldwide improvements by 20 times and implement the results from 2015 to 2035 to make 400 years of normal progress in only 20 years.]]> no@spam.com (Donald Mitchell) Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/340566/1/Live-like-2408-in-2008--1-/Page1.html http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/340172/1/The-Future-Value-of-Business-Model-Innovation/Page1.html no@spam.com (Donald Mitchell) Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/340172/1/The-Future-Value-of-Business-Model-Innovation/Page1.html http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/339825/1/The-Competitive-Importance-of-Continuing-Business-Model-Innovation/Page1.html There is an ultimate competitive advantage you can gain. Do you believe that? Probably not.

Most people have never seen a competitive advantage last. What usually happens is that everyone quickly tries to copy or outdo what works, or the novelty of the advantage simply wears off.

Despite those limitations, in recent decades continuing business model innovation has provided lasting competitive advantages and built huge amounts of value.]]> no@spam.com (Donald Mitchell) Tue, 22 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/339825/1/The-Competitive-Importance-of-Continuing-Business-Model-Innovation/Page1.html
