Thank you very much for the content, context, and the foresightful film. One of the things travelers dread, the currency conversion, may blend seamlessly into the background, once the transaction costs fall through the floor. Looking forward to more innotribal insights.

Project Management intro - tools I like

Today's takeaway: tagging tried and tested tools for project management, like paper and mindmapping for quick concepts, traditional project planners for the heavy lifting and a convenient one-page overview tool. As few of the tolls speak to each other, some data rework happens, but it acts as refinement of the project statements. Continue reading

Project management - just got easier

Examining how I could accelerate innovation in the company, I saw the need to learn about professional project management. This is a story in two parts: 1. how, where and what I studied recently, and 2. what tools I picked up along the way work for me. Continue reading

Customer in control?

We are deconstructing more than a managerial illusion of control. ... At the edge we see better ways to work together, have access to more experience, make better buying decisions within the constraints of time, money, information, and moderated by the vast repertoire of emotional appeal. Example: buyer's remorse about new air conditioners. Continue reading

Social Might Connect

Artists inform scientists what might be worth trying. Engineers build what might be worth buying. Marketers find people, offer win-win for mutual profit. Industrialists make it affordable and cheaper - this might not work much longer. Financiers take risks and take rewards, cyclically bubbling. Teachers help future artists, scientists, engineers, marketers, industrialists, and more find their vision and calling. This might work. Others create safe spaces for stillness and peace, to find personal truth. This might be worth trying. I will be glad if I can help you get better energy technology to succeed, in the ultimate vision non-polluting yet safe and easy to use, easy to get used to, and easy on the planet at end-of-use. Likely decentralized for added resilience. What might we co-create if we connect? Image credit: plus.google.com retrieved 2013-01-02 Related articles Industrialists vs. the rest... Continue reading

If no one flies the drones because they follow a programmed trajectory, and keep along routes to their destinations that are surveyed for relative safety in case of crash, why would FAA's "line of sight" rules apply at all? Do we see drones more as model aircraft, or more as carrier-pigeons? Pigeons come with their own line of sight. Our carrier drones need built-in obstacle avoidance. Type-tested and FAA certified for being airworthy, maybe... adds to cost, could be required in case nasty accidents happen.

Thank you, very interesting research. Wondering what would be the return to society on reducing other heavy metals like mercury and arsenic.

How to define by what is not

When I was 16, I was ignorant, like most at that age (nothing new to see here, move on, go to work). Almost 40 years later, I am still ignorant, that amount of accumulated knowledge and experience not making a visible drop in the ocean of what might be knowable. Here is one drop that stood out for me. Continue reading

Thank you, Anne. Yes, I was forward looking, and thinking how can I make such a life-changing decision without much data after just two months? I was aware I was making an emotional decision. This might not work. No one would believe me. I even waited for two more month before I told the company leaders. They were happy to have me and helped me get settled. Enjoy Matthew E. May's books. He blogs subtractingly at edit innovation.

Longing for 2013

Here we are, in the new year, and some of us choose to make resoutions. Fine if you like to, but for many it is better not to, writes Chuck Blakeman. Instead of resolutely setting goals, I went to follow a faint calling to examine and re-discover what am I still longing for, silently, at the turn of the year. Continue reading

Tohoku and virtual community

Tohoku people are still suffering. Virtual community offers an almost comfortable workaround, and in case of neighborhoods, a backup to re-connect and take action together, giving more choices and mobilizing more resources than a strained bureaucracy can hope to offer in case of disaster.

Quoting: "In 1997 the superformula was discovered, which solved the problem of the limited symmetry of superellipses and supercircles. Supershapes like pentagons and starfish, triangles and rose sepals, flowers and leaves, can now be described by a single equation, based on the generalization of Lamé's supercircles and superellipses."
