NAKFI 2008 - Complex Systems
Abstracts

A History of the Concept of Creativity
Richard N. Foster

William Keck was a wildcatter and philanthropist in that sequence.  Bill Keck’s approach to philanthropy was derived from his wildcatting experience -- take risks and seek opportunities which will lead to more and even better opportunities.  This talk will briefly treat Bill Keck’s background and suggest some implications for the NAKFI problem solving conference.
