Rebuilding Civil Society | Ted O'Brien | TEDxNoosa

We have become overly reliant on government and the marketplace to solve our biggest social problems, leading to the erosion of civil society. Real leaders must now step up and rebuild a new type of civil society. Ted O’Brien is the founder and chairman of Generation Innovation, which is taking the Sunshine Coast by storm through its high-profile GI Challenge in promotion of youth entrepreneurship. A recognised community leader, Ted has a unique background. His 20 years of blue-chip commercial experience includes more than a decade with global management consulting giant Accenture, where he was director of Growth & Strategy for Asia Pacific & emerging markets, based out of Beijing and responsible for strategy, mergers and acquisitions and major deals. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
