The Kauffman Thoughtbook is the flagship communication piece for the Kauffman Foundation. The Thoughtbook tells the story of the Kauffman Foundation through essays written by our associates at the Foundation and the influential thought leaders we work with to advance educational achievement and entrepreneurial success. The fifth in the ongoing series, the 2011 Kauffman Thoughtbook captures what we are thinking, learning, and discovering about how education, entrepreneurship, and innovation drive growth and progress in myriad ways. The Thoughtbook's unconventional approach reflects the imagination and accomplishments of the Kauffman approach to think differently and turn creative insights into practical, sustainable solutions.
