Project Nature University - Purpose statement

Project 'Nature University' was envisioned by me to challenge the students of my project management class to explore both creative and innovative methods of becoming visionary leaders of tomorrow.

During the last century, innovations have evolved exponentially and the human race, after thousands of years of measured evolution, has been propelled suddenly into a technology age. It is both an exciting and a perilous time for us right now. It is imperative we take counsel of a wise teacher which provides a compass for leadership, so that we, as a race, do not go astray and evolve ourselves into extinction.

In my opinion, nature is the wisest and most impartial teacher of all. It has few simple rules, which only if followed, lead to survival and success; else the consequences are almost immediate. As we make quantum leaps in technology, it will be wise to ground ourselves by using teachings and examples of leadership from nature and from our universe in general.

I commend my students for embracing this challenge of planning, executing and completing a pioneering global project in leadership and communications within a condensed semester of 12 weeks, using modern communication tools including a website, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and a Blog.

We welcome you to participate in project 'Nature University' and contribute the lessons from nature that have shaped your leadership style and may help save our world tomorrow.
