How social intelligence can guidedecisions

McKinsey Quarterly, Martin Harrysson, Estelle Metayer

5 signs youre not as smart as you thinkN2growth, Mike Myatt, October 30, 2012

Ive come across more than a few self-proclaimed in-telligent people who believe their intellectual acuity isfar superior to the discernment of their peers and co-workers. Not only are these intellectual giants usuallywrong, but sadly, by the time they awaken to a state of

reality it is already too late. In the text that follows, Illshare the keys to leveraging your intellectual assets asopposed to having your intelligence serve as a barrierto your success

The benets of poetry for professionalsHarvard Business Review, John Cole

November 27, 2012

Granted, in daily speech, where we dont stop to consi-der every word, we all use phrases like the ordinaryworld, ordinary life, the ordinary course of events... But in the language of poetry, where every word isweighed, nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stoneand not a single cloud above it. Not a single day and not

a single night after it. And above all, not a single exis-tence, not anyones existence in this world.

Economic Paradigm Changes

Social Paradigm Changes


How the capitalists are trying to scare thepeople

Pravda, Lenin, May 19, 1917

No socialist has ever proposed that the tens of mil-lions, i.e., the small and middle peasants, should bedeprived of their property (=made to abdicate their pro-perty rights).Nothing of the kind! Socialists everywhere have alwaysdenied such nonsense.[...] To deal a decisive blow at those who are defying thepeople the way the colliery owners are doing when theydisrupt and ruin production, it is sufcient to make a few

hundred, at the most one or two thousand, millionaires,bank and industrial and commercial bosses, abdicatetheir property rights.[...] The question at issue is merely that of breakingdown the resistance of a few hundred millionaires. Onlyin this way can disaster be averted.

Shadow banking grows to $67 trillionindustry, regulators say

Bloomberg, Ben Moshinsky & Jim Brunsden

19 november 2012

The shadow banking industry has grown to about $67trillion, $6 trillion bigger than previously thought, leadingglobal regulators to seek more oversight of nancial

transactions that fall outside traditional oversight.

The trend of History is bigger thanthe business cycle

The World Financial Review, Philip Auerswald

November 2012There is not now, nor was there ever, any valid com-parison to be made between the Great Depression andthe recent economic crisis. Indeed, even to suggest theexistence of such a comparison is to ignore entirely theoverwhelming trend of progress over the past 60 years.It is to confuse the bump with the road itself.

The value of informal enterpriseStanford Social Innovation Review, Abby Margolis

November 1, 2012

How can established business and organizations col-laborate with informal enterprise? What other unpac-kaged and unregulated activities might translate intoprosperous revenue streams for a new economy?As companies (or even governments) look for newopportunity, they often focus on emerging marketsas the next untapped market. However, this might be

the wrong approach. In todays world, simply extendingbusiness into new frontiers is not enough.

La protection sociale dans les BRICSCentre dAnalyse Stratgique, 19 novembre 2012

Les BRICS (Brsil, Russie, Inde, Chine et Afrique duSud) ont connu au cours des dernires annes un d-veloppement rapide de leur protection sociale, chacunselon une voie spcique : systmes dassurance en

Chine, systme dassistance trs dvelopp en Afriquedu Sud avec des minima sociaux couvrant une large

part de la population , systme de transferts de reve-nus conditionnels au Brsil, etc.

My open source cure for brain cancerCNN, Salvatore Iaconesi, November 25, 2012

I was recently diagnosed with brain cancer.[...] I feltincomplete about the way that the medical system washandling my situation.[...] I immediately asked for myclinical records in digital format, and left the hospital.[...] My main objective -- the best thing I felt that I coulddo -- was to make my digital information available onthe Internet [...] To help me nd the best cure for myself,

and in the process to produce substantial social changeby redening the word cure.

Governance Paradigm Changes

Technology Futures


Management theory was hijacked in the 80s.Were still suffering the fallout

The Guardian, Simon Caulkin, November 12, 2012

The answer is that management in the 1980s was sub-ject to an ideological hijack by Chicago economics thatput at the heart of governance a reductive economicman view of human nature needing to be bribed orwhipped to do their exclusive job of maximising share-holder returns. Embedded in the codes, these assump-tions now have the status of unchallenged truths.

Pourquoi la communication des entreprisesest devenue inaudible

Le Monde, Dominique Wolton, 19 november 2012

Nous allons assister un changement de sens et lapparition dune troisime dimension. A ct de lidalde la communication-partage, recherch par tous,de la ralit dominante de la communication-trans-mission, o la hirarchie communique de haut en bas,se dveloppera la communication-ngociation, olmetteur doit toujours tenir compte de lintelligencedes rcepteurs et accepter un retour critique.

Economic bricolageThe Wall Street Journal, Matt Ridley, November 26, 2012

Something that is fragile, like a glass, can survive smallshocks but not big ones. Something that is robust, like arock, can survive both. But robust is only half way along

the spectrum. There are things that are anti-fragile,meaning they actually improve when shocked, theyfeed on volatility. [] It follows that, in Mr. Talebs world,the greatest sin is to be a fragilista, somebody whoencourages an institution to become fragile. [...] SeeIatrogenics. The latter term is from medicine, meaningwhen doctors do more harm than good, for example,by bleeding the patient in the past, or by putting ice onswellings today.

Risk of robot uprising wiping out humanrace to be studied

BBC, November 19, 2012

The scientists said that to dismiss concerns of a poten-tial robot uprising would be dangerous.[...] robots and

computers become smarter than humans, we could ndourselves at the mercy of machines that are not mali-cious, but machines whose interests dont include us.

Looking to industry for the next digitaldisruption

The New York Times, Steve Lohr, November 23, 2012

The company (GE) plans to increase that work forceof computer scientists and software developers to 400,and to invest $1 billion in the center by 2015. The buil-dup is part of G.Es big bet on what it calls the indus-trial Internet, bringing digital intelligence to the physicalworld of industry as never before.

Here come the humanoids. There go U.S.jobs

CNet, Paul Sloan, November 12, 2012

Rethink Robotics founder Rodney Brooks took to thestage at the Techonomy conference here to talk aboutthe wonders of his new robot, Baxter, which is designedto work on factory oors doing dull and necessary tasks.

He costs just $22,000 and works for what amounts to$4 an hour.
