As we reach The Big Moo's Anniversary, we, the Remarkabalize Team*, are re-dedicating ourselves and our site to our singular vision: using Books as (powerful) Tools. We know beyond any doubt, from our experience helping to launch The Big Moo, as well as our projects with authors like Seth, Tom Peters, Fernando Flores, Martin Lindstrom, Roger Schank, John Wood, and organizations like the Navy, Allstream, Anixter Inc., Disney, Fed Ex, Group Systems, GSK, Target, Davis United World Scholars, Visant, Xerox and others, that books can, and do change the world.
We want to keep that dialog going, and continue to share our ongoing efforts and learning with you, and hear from you as well! So bring it on! Question us, provoke us, challenge us, and we'll respond.
We're proud of The Big Moo! To use a Seth phrase, it's our Purple Cow. We, the Group of 33, have helped build a Big Moo School in Nepal, and a Big Moo Library in India, through the donation of 100% of the Royalties to Room to Read (who built these wonderful places), Acumen Fund, and Juvenile Diabetes Research. Our goal is to keep selling the Big Moo and work with Room to Read build more schools/libraries and labs throughout the world as well as to contribute much needed funds to our other charities.
In the coming months you'll hear from each of us on specific projects past, present and future, that celebrate and share our thinking about Books as Tools.
