Ged Davis, MD, World Economic Forum

I had the most extra-ordinary experience this thursday - I met Ged at the INDEX: launch of awards 2007. Ged is in the Jury and I am in the Board. What is WEF and Ged doing in CPH? Well, I hope Kigge Hvid, CEO of INDEX: will chat to us about that. Kigge will be on W7 to Wharton. www.indexaward.dk

Ged Davis is a rare species. Sharp in scenarios and a background from Shell and a fresponsible, intelligent view on the future of this planet. The executive of the future. We talked for a long time - here are just the first couple of minutes to give you an impression. I hope to see Ged here at the LinKS Blog in the future. Ged Davis, CEO WEF

Last year 6 Danish people went to DAVOS and Anders Fogh Rasmussen flew in for a short while - not excactly an overwhelming Danish presence. I wonder if we should consider checking out DAVOS World Economic Forum, annual meeting, January 24-28 2007? www.weforum.org.

    Hi!

    I meet Ged at World Economic Forum annual meeting in January 2006, where I was invited to participate as an expert in Design strategy.

    The reason for the invitation was that WEF had defined five sub themes defining five critical challenges to the world community:

    - The emergence of China and India,
    - The changing economic landscape,
    - Adjusting to new mindsets and changing attitudes,
    - The creation of future jobs,
    - Addressing regional identities and struggles.

    The following three sub themes on the other hand highlight how business
    and institutions must respond.

    - Building trust in public and private institutions
    - Effective leadership in managing global risks
    - Finding solutions through innovation, creativity and design methods.

    Ged from World Economic Forum (motto: improving the state of the world) and I from INDEX: (motto: design to Improve Life) hit it off due to our mutual interest in finding better solutions, which lead to an invitation from INDEX: to Ged to join INDEX: international jury.

    Ged is now part of our jury that recently meet in Copenhagen.
    Our jury is responsible for selecting the 100 top nominations and the final five winners among the many, many nominations from the whole world sent to INDEX: Award. The objective of the selection is to present a coherent image of the commercial and human potential in contemporary Design to Improve Life.

    Further more our jurors are the professional design advisers who assist us in developing the programme of INDEX: 2007. The programme will comprise:

    INDEX: Award: The world’s biggest design award worth €500.000 to be presented August 24th 2007 at Copenhagen City Hall.

    INDEX: AWARD EXHIBITION
    100 top nominated designs for INDEX: Award to be exhibited outdoors in central Copenhagen and touring for Austraila, USA and Europa.

    INDEX: SUMMIT
    Where 40 of the world’s leading experts in User-centred design and innovation meets in Copenhagen to discuss the future potential in in-depth in-sight in tacit and explicit needs of users.

    INDEX: SUMMER CAMP
    Students from all over the world are invited Copenhagen to create new Designs to Improve Life.

    INDEX: NETWORK SERIES
    Where our Danish network interact with the summit participants.

    Backgammon is one of the oldest board games for two players in which the playing pieces are moved according to the roll of dice. Players win by removing all of their pieces from the board. There are many variants of backgammon, most of which share common traits. Backgammon is a member of the tables family, one of the oldest classes of board games in the world.

    Although luck plays an important role, there is a large scope for strategy. With each roll of the dice players must choose from numerous options for moving their checkers and anticipate possible counter-moves by the opponent. Players may raise the stakes during the game. There is an established repertoire of common tactics and occurrences.

    Like chess, backgammon has been studied with great interest by computer scientists. Owing to this research, backgammon software has been developed capable of beating world-class human players.

    Backgammon playing pieces are known variously as checkers, stones, men, counters, pawns, or chips.

    The objective is to remove (bear off) all of one’s own checkers from the board before one’s opponent can do the same. The checkers are scattered at first and may be blocked or hit by the opponent. As the playing time for each individual game is short, it is often played in matches, where victory is awarded to the first player to reach a certain number of points.
