The blog comes from Steve Glaveski, CEO and Co-Founder of Collective Campus and Founder of the Lemonade Stand. The link is courtesy of our good friend Tim Harford whose new book "Fifty Things that Made the Modern Economy" is a terrific read as the summer holidays arrive.

Talking of pivoting, here is an article on Lego published in the Guardian in June 2017
