"Ondernemen in Vlaanderen" and educational systems

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

I attended today a conference in Gent, “Ondernemen in Vlaanderen”

Earlier today I twittered: “In Dutch now, but why the talks about talent come always to the same diagnosis?”.

This short article (800 words) is to share some considerations from few conferences that I followed today.

Preemptive lawmaking & expert systems

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Today, I was replying to a friend on Facebook about his remark on widespread corruption in his country.

From that, while writing my reply, I started re-thinking about something else: why do we have corruption?

Because we have rules that somebody is willing to circumvent- and somebody else able to let them do it.

And why? Because too many laws and rules are built to regulate something that is already available.

I am now ignoring the “details” of the difference between common law and countries following the Napoleonic approach, because, in our globalized world, also “laissez faire” countries are increasingly regulating tiny details. Either directly or via reporting/control rules.

GMN2009: Next- beyond the skull

Monday, May 25th, 2009

We moved from the concept of model, change, and project, to their application in ordinary business life, and to create something with relevant potential social impact, on both businesses and people- the Human Genome Project and the future brain mapping.

But all this covered only the “Genome, mind mapping” part of the title.

Neural networks are both a concept and a technology, and the impact is already visible in some decision-making activities, and in everyday technological products and services.

What could be a further development? What are going to be potential impacts on how we organize, structure, decide, act?

Again, some simple lessons derived by the computer between your ears.

And, I promise: I will not create any neologisms- I will use what is already available on the market- actually, in science.

This post is part of a series, first published in May 2009.
