who?
Before we go anywhere, Maximillian Kaizen is not a man (FYI to avoid embarrassing mishaps)
<< the obligatory pic to state for the record – though my name may lead your mind to thought of a large-size testosterone-fuelled teutonic fellow – Maximillian Kaizen is surprise!surprise: an official xx chromosome version, and a fairly little one at that.
She’s also an experiential-learning specialist; researcher, educator and digital activist working with rapidly-morphing technologies, accelerated learning tools and other people’s genius.
As one of the founders of Huddlemind Labs – South Africa’s most respected digital media education company – Max meshes pioneering technology, frighteningly bright people and the freshest research into brain-friendly learning platforms that get even jaded grown-ups excited about their education.
Max guest-lectures on globalization, open innovation and new economics at UCT’s Centre for Management Studies and helps develop some of the most innovative and popular programmes at UCT’s Graduate School of Business.
Max is an activist for civic & social change, working with global pioneers to explore the sometimes counter-intuitive solutions offered by emerging technology – for business, law, education and culture. She also founded a now not-so secret explorer society for geekgirls called Cerebella.
Deploying a trust network of pioneering thought leaders from diverse spheres of expertise for custom think-tanks, faculty and advisory positions, and unconferences has led to her being referred to, among the cognoscenti, as the Hunter of Genius.
[...] Max: The Monday slot or “SA Rocks to the Max”. Max is the first contributor on SA Rocks. She has already posted one amazing post and we hope to have the next one sometime today. She will be writing general posts from a CT lady about why SA does rock! [...]

Just got fascnated by your ‘out of the box’ profile stay on top
Max,
It’s funny how things work. I was going over some old documents I have in my possession (1994 Barefoot Press pamphlet with a few of Elaine Rumboll’s poems). I decided to “Scroogle” her and was elated to find that she is on the same trajectory but with even more refined vision now coupled with a nice launching pad to pursue her creativity and genius. Your info popped up and so I decided to chase the trail. I look forward to connecting with Elaine and yourself and share some of the things I’m working on with the Living Teaching, Life-long learning, and most importantly, Unlearning via curiosity. I guess you could say I’m a private intellectual going public.
I have an idea that I have been holding onto for the right time to parlay with the just the right crew of creative-(g)leaning folks.. I would like to collaborate or at least bounce the idea off you. From the likes of it, I’ve been doing (albeit without conscious intent or the power of social media) what you articulate here on your site for well over 20 years now. I will read your expanded manifesto with anticipation and pleasure. Upon your response, I will send you excerpts from my writing. Wonderful site. Peace & Blessings…
Fantastic creativity and out of the box soul-u-tions….just waiting for the right problem to solve. Perhaps leadership on a Board of Directors on a global NPO to create positive change ? keep up the good work. http://www.globalchange.me on Twitter @ globalchangeme

Genius begets genius.
Thank heavens for Wordpress.
That special breed of genius I hunt isn't defined by a Stanford-Binet number; rather by a visionary capacity, good taste in problems, the ability to forge unusual creative connections, the brave foolishness to fail gloriously and generosity of spirit to build something beyond personal gain.
Unearthing the pioneers too prescient for their time, quirky Amelie.types who find magic in the mundane, the people who give a damn. Those who approach the world with bright minds, big hearts & clean hands. ..then what? Find out here
