Method_1of5: Crisis (resolution)
Monday, October 4th, 2010The five articles in this series have a single purpose: share small outlines of the approach I used in various consulting and service management activities.
Marketing and philanthropy
Friday, October 1st, 2010Shifting from yesterday’s focus, something more down to Earth.
It is Friday, so just a short comment and a couple of ideas that I used in the past for practical uses.
If you are on Facebook, I think that more than once in a while you saw companies offering to donate to a cause if you buy their products.
Knowledge Economy and Proliferation
Thursday, September 30th, 2010This article is focused on extending the knowledge economy to Low Income Countries.
As for the reference to proliferation- it will become clear along the next few pages, followed by a list of bibliographical references, should you be interested in reading more.
This article was originally planned as a more detailed (and practical) document, but, due to the lack of time, I decided to just share the core conclusions and the introduction.
The supply chain of development
Wednesday, September 29th, 2010This week I attended two conferences, the first on the 50th anniversary of the laser, and the second on a completely different field, a Microsoft conference on the latest crop of its web technologies.
In both cases, a funny curious similarity- the complexity of what we take for granted.
This short article (less than 500 words) is just to share some considerations.
Metacommunication: on signals and structure
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010I know that the title reminds McLuhan and others- older even than me (at least, considering my biological age).
Anyway, often I see a misalignment between the channels available- and their use.
Profiling and coaching a learning organization
Monday, September 27th, 2010An interesting issue- but as for the content, this post will be quite short (well, less than 1000 words).
Today I attended a seminar on the cooperation between South Africa (and, generally, Africa) and European Union on lasers.
I will publish my feed-back later this week- but, for the time being, it will be functional to something else that I had been drafting forever.
Railway to the stars
Sunday, September 26th, 2010It is Sunday, so I will take a detour.
Actually- a partial detour.
A short story, resurrecting something that I created in 2007 as a joke- United Hamster Front.
Schooling and cross-functional forma mentis
Saturday, September 25th, 2010This article has been sitting on my hard-disk for some time.
I should say- at least since I read on El Pais and The Guardian articles about the GCSE.
But similar complaints are routinely voiced in most developed countries: a puzzling focus on “efficiency” is seeding the educational choices adopted by everybody.
