Sometimes knowing who is on the cutting edge of
business can help you get where you are going by
studying what they are doing
.  This knowledge can help
you make decisions and have good topics when in a
formal conversation.  The following is a consensus of
some of the best executives, entrepreneurs,, and
innovators for the later half of 2007.  This list will change
and you should start your own list.
A Business 2.0 exclusive list: Meet the executives,
entrepreneurs, and cutting-edge innovators who are
setting today's business agenda.

SAN FRANCISCO (Business 2.0 Magazine) - Any list of
the most important people in business has to start with
Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and a bunch of folks named
Walton, right? They're the richest people on the planet,
for Pete's sake. Just break out the rubber stamps and be
done with it.

Sorry, not this list. The names presented here weren't
accomplishments of yesteryear.

Instead, our goal was to identify people whose ideas,
products, and business insights are changing the world
we live in today - those who are reshaping our future by
inventing important new technologies, exploiting
emerging opportunities, or throwing their weight around
in ways that are sure to make everyone else take notice.

In assembling this list, we emphasized one key
question: What have you done for us lately? We also
considered its important corollary: What will you do for us
tomorrow?

To nominate and ratify the 50, we drew on the collective
wisdom of our entire editorial staff: people with deep
knowledge of the important players and latest trends in
management, entrepreneurship, biotech, big iron, and
just plain counterintuitive thinking. It was a contentious
exercise marked by the frequent raising of voices and
much stamping of feet.

But when the dust settled, our highly subjective exercise
revealed a remarkable who's who of contemporary
business. Many of the names and rankings will be
surprising. Some will no doubt be controversial.

But in the end, we hope you'll agree that the people
profiled here tell us a lot about the world we live in today,
and the challenges and opportunities we'll all confront in
the years ahead.
