| Team Foreword Thalas™ releases The New Economy, a practical guide for thriving into changing times. Contained within are the foundations, principles, techniques, and applications Thalas™ put to use in its own organic development as it has modeled and continues to model the way for other individuals and organizations to do the same. Just as Thalas™ is not your typical early-21st-century-organization, The New Economy is not your typical-early-21st-century-guide. This and future versions of this guide live in the process of development as important feedback, an integral part of the New Economy, continues to be gathered from contributors as we speak. Thalas™, the world's first and leading socially conscious umbrella organization, has served and partnered with hundreds of clients, organizations, and companies around the world, from the largest companies and highest ranking universities to the smallest of startups, over its first five-year-course of exponentially developing operations. Conceived as a vision-oriented acronym in 1998, gaining experience from 3rd world regions to the greatest financial centers of society, developed through the creative powers of several student-and-global-leader-driven organizations, its name echoing throughout the halls of Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Harvard, MIT, Oxford, and Cambridge Universities, having actualized itself early on from a garage in the heart of Silicon Valley and now into several leadership collaboration centers around the world, Thalas™ has not skipped a beat, even during the toughest socio-economic environment since the Great Depression. Thalas™ has now seen and contributed to advances in web technology, management consulting, non-profits, arts & entertainment, leadership, medicine, education, and publishing, and forges ahead as it redefines the way organizations and micro and macro scale processes find their way and are built, funded, developed, and sustained. Today, Thalas™ develops its and other organizations largely out of Thalas Leadership Collaboration Centers in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Minneapolis, Boston, Shanghai, China, and Cambridge, UK and more. Thalas™ operates from a culture of empowering all constituents and the approach of big picture, long term thinking. |
