Some posts on the web these times about Education 2.0, Classroom 2.0 and so one... As a lecturer in MBA's, some feelings on all that stuff: - first of all, a nice report , with comments , rather optimistic, showing new trends - then less positive views and comments - some good lists of new exciting tools for education.. I tried, as a lot of professors in Europe, to use and spread those techniques, from informal networks with ning for classrooms to some moodle or dokeos courses. ...
Web 2.0: a large bag with so different feelings and philosophies. Can "subversive" concepts become institutional? Can those tools and techniques, reflects of self image, with a total appropriation (what do I do now..., my specific passions and friends..., it's happening now..., my special tricky way to access information...,), become a common practice for everybody? Will people seek contact and networks or go back to CAN (Computer aided narcissism) ? This one open the question ...
Fantastic video to re-stimulate your minds (if necessary). A Microsoft research using photos of real or virtual objects "scraped from around the Web, creating multidimensional spaces with zoom and navigation features that outstrip all expectation". Some short thoughts on that: - This idea of making real hyperlinks between photos, videos open the question: Who code the links? who makes the relations. To day the "machine" is still a bit unable to do that (image semantic recogniti ...
I just recently found this David Weinberger fantastic presentation video (alerted by Tony Karrer blog). Very close of my way of thinking. I really love it (content, style, ideology). A bit long (57 mn) but no feeling of time looking at it! ...I permanently have a difficult relation with order (who defines the order? why, for which reason...), I like freedom of choice in existentialist way (and without illusion, knowing internal and external determinisms...). ...I prefer Google search "non ...
IT Governance is key, but some good tricks and more there if you want to fail ! And you know that bad IT governance is a big risk ... - Look about IT governance this "perfect" synthesis report by PWC... - And what is board implication in IT governance? and more ... The first objective of IT governance is strategic alignment (this "mechanical" concept !). A rather new magazine focus on that... - Concerning alignment, some nice companies , Staples, Wells ...
(stole the title of this post from there ...) Let's start these posts by this fantastic recent study by Bain about trends on usage of management tools in 2007. This study shows usage and usage satisfaction, in different continents, of the main "management tools" : Balanced Scorecard, Benchmarking, BPR, Collaborative Innovation, Consumer Ethnography, Core Competencies, Corporate Blogs, CRM, Customer Segmentation, Growth Strategy Tools, Knowledge Management, Lean Operations, Loyalty Man ...
Voir la video Et grand merci au toujours stimulant forum de l'Oulipo , qui m'a fait découvrir ce bijou...
Among existing yottabytes of data , we will use, during our life, billions of information ( data becomes information when it correspond to some conscious or unconscious project or objective I have...), but how much tacit or explicit knowledge (information embodied after really using it, "learning by doing"...)? I always was reluctant to the next word, wisdom , the word appearing a bit too spiritual to me. But competency is a good one. In my opinion, competency emerges when kn ...
Not impressed by high tech evolution? Just read 2007 ten emerging technologies . And what's new just now? about Computing - Super lenses and chips, to see nanometers... - Intel going on... about Communication - Optical fibers ... and the web - IBM going on... - and all the mobile stuff, changing potentially your life... about Storage - Nanotubes again... - and flash memory on your desktop about Man/Machine interfaces - what about ultramobiles - ...
Governing IT (look at this PWC perfect report ) is (and that is not new!) key for company performance: Strategic alignment is key , but clearly a subtle adaptive one, not too mechanistic... What are CEO feelings on that? Some new innovative ideas on this old alignment topic, like this definition of IT organizations as fitting into one of three categories, which called Solid Utility, Trusted Supplier, and Partner Player. McKinsey emphasizes on some conditions of success... All that reli ...
