perhaps a grave problem..
rhizomatic expertise..
youth give us at least a quadrillion mini lectures all day long
are we listening..
Yet in 2011, the 6 year-old Huffington Post, with just a handful of journalists, sold for $315 million. By any conventional measure, HuffPo is no match for WaPo in size or stature, but yet it is worth more. How could that be?
I think a big part of the answer lies in something James Manyika, a Director of the McKinsey Global Institute, told me about data analytics. He said that even firms of the same size, in the same industry with the same IT budget and competing for the same customers, vary markedly in their ability to use technology.
Clearly, digital technology has enabled a new semantic economy where access and scale have been decoupled. When access is universal, or nearly so, size doesn’t really matter.
 Greg Satell (@Digitaltonto)10/6/13 7:27 AM The Evolution Of Strategyp.ost.im/dnFeCG s Rita Gunther McGrath explains in her new book, The End of Competitive Advantage  , strategy is now a game that looks more likeWorld of Warcraft then the game of kings. You never win, but are always questing, gaining new skills and resources along the way and continually seeking the next challenge.Often, a vision has a shelf life. It works for a while and then outlives its usefulness. That was true of Jack Welch’s idea that every business should be number one or two in its category or abandoned. It drove company strategy for a while, until it became clear that the evaluation had as much to do with category definition as it did with true success.until it became clear that the evaluation had as much to do with category definition as it did with true success. |
that’s the problem with a vision, it’s almost impossible to distinguish it from a delusion
This whole choice between left wing and right wing is very funny to me... Ever asked a bird to choose?

Universities and colleges, she said, at their core, are vested in the current system.
“One of the things that’s so interesting to me when folks are questioning the role of foundations is that there’s such power and money and lobbying behind the status quo that people don’t see,” Laitinen said. “To me that’s the real powerful force here. In terms of actual policy, the higher-education lobby is more powerful than anything. You just don’t really see it.” What the foundations have enabled, she said, “is some alternative voices to help challenge that.”
While the context changes, the story remains the same. Building large, powerful institutions no longer provides any protection from disruption because technology has undermined many of the advantages we used to associate with scale. Communities, even if not formally organized, can collaborate and even synchronize their behavior.
Old notions of change management no longer work because it is not assets we need to leverage, but networks. If John Antioco had understood that, Blockbuster would probably remain a thriving concern today.
like the self propelling robots MIT
The bottom line is that old notions of boundaries of scale, industry and geography have become impotent. These boundaries have been replaced by often informal connections that transcend formal structures.
