Wart Like Sore On My Knuckle

Elgoibar Yesterday we met a few people to talk about
consulting approaches that can / should be applied when order is placed
transform organizations. This concept of "transformation" and give enough of himself and supports a wide polychrome. Alberto finished the meeting considering the transformation as a reversal of the current situation where the party dominated (vassals workers) took the reins of power (the leaders and other estates located upstairs) and becomes dominant. Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde, incredible transformation. Transform

supports many points of view: to reverse the balance of power is one, but no doubt that sometimes it is the paradox of managing

. Just a day in

to which I have called on the European Week

Quality organizes every year Euskalit want to handle a set of "sentences" that can have your "other side." "Opposites?, An oxymoron? I do not think necessarily having to invest roles but in the end, lest we reach a zero-sum model, the question is how to multiply the capacity of the parties, modifying.

course that today is my view out of the system

. Intra undertake and to launch new dynamic. Clear that Alfonso argues that "system" is everything and you can not leave it. Well, okay, but at least we can hit the corners of the corners and there seems that things happen "almost" out of the system. It is what one sees when approaching places like
UrbanLabs
and listen such great projects like Basurama

, approaches Amaste

, or a paradoxical dream factory called La Papaya

.

Transforming a large company is a Herculean task. And I marvel that there are people, consultants, rushing these monumental works. Hats off and do the wave. Whatever it takes. I myself am much more cowardly and grumpy, I have to choose another path. And the great news is that there
a possible trail mulitiple
. There are a many options to choose which path of transformation that best goes with our projects. The world is full of alternatives.

All this happens, however, by a prior decision : wanting to change, transform, alter, improve or whatever you call

. A co-Maier
always told me that the big problem is not seeing the problem . Because it is moving zero, paralysis, is death. So you have to re-focus and zoom put in small things that happen. In the details often are the levers of success, whatever that is (I mean the success).
Anyway, as we were few, bare grandmother. I get into another fregao : arguing about consulting and how we can transform organizations. There were, besides the undersigned, Maite , Aurkene (in spirit), Germain, Xabier , Joseba , Lorenzo

,

Borja and equipment Hobest : Alfonso, Javier, Ignacio, Patxi, Alberto, who are the ones who are driving the soiree, taking advantage of Alfonso has published a new book that ;-) raves through strategies imagination, yes with subtitles referring control of companies in which we live. And we will tell what comes of this forum. Technorati tags
organizations to open their content. When someone tells you what is the use of Creative Commons licenses
as a way to get more recognition there is a curious fact: is accepted from the rational and emotional blocks from from prejudice, from "not No. "
. When it comes to innovation and the question is, but this is doing someone like us?, Maybe we should assume that the release of content via Creative Commons licenses is hitting a staple of business strength: protection of what we know.

the sake of greater protection is denied, do not accept the potential benefits of the release of contents in case there are any unforeseen way. I said no and no

game.
companies have much know-how explicit by those who work in them (that I think). And much of that know-how is written, documented and explained in reusable media for other people and other organizations. One of the examples almost always use is that of the documentation relating to the prevention of occupational hazards . Why not share something so important to the community? Is not an objective of all stakeholders to reduce to zero the number of accidents at work? So why not share with the community to make explicit knowledge that a company has around this issue? Is not it a laudable enough aim to to open the contents? No, no and no. Not step out there. No game. What if this happens?, What if that happens?, And why others do not?, And why do I have to do it myself? No, no and no. No way. The organization acts as owner lord do not know what military secrets. That open to accelerate the generation of new knowledge is good for the books, but not for the XXI century companies
. Here, if you know something, just in case, I'll shut up. This is how organizations manage their treasure: the knowledge of people. Why do not we extend the use of Creative Commons or similar licenses in the field of organizations?, Why do I see so clearly many people perceive as an attack on its most sacred? Share

not become commonplace in today's organizations. So simple, so sad. The rules of the game business are misleading because deceive me because I hide hidden, embarrassed because they pinch me, do not share because they do not share.

Simple, simple. Must be human nature.
I still think we have to build new business models. Do the current they can and I leave the soul in peace. As Gary Hamel says: "The worst thing is that senior executives, with their dogmatic views, are usually the ones who decide which ideas are implemented and which are blocked. That has to change." Perhaps it is a limit to the DNA of most organizations today. Along with fellow Hamel:
If you have ever worked in large organizations, you know that expect to be working strategically, tirelessly innovative and highly attractive to the employee (or something more than merely effective) is like expecting a dog dance a tango . The dogs are quadrupeds. Dancing is not in their DNA. The same goes for businesses. So, to paraphrase Hamel, will be to make enterprises using Creative Commons licenses is like expecting a dog to dance a tango. For another thing, butterfly. I'm outta here. Technorati tags

worthwhile. We will work towards the public domain.

And to be able to establish some concepts, listening to Antonio Lafuente :

And

forget that there are people who also try to explain
directly with their own hands:


Technorati tags The scene is well defined. I'm seventy-four years with my partner. They are only thirty more than now. The site is crisp, clear air, overwhelming. There are only a clatter of waves that chain a monotonous ritual. Waves that foam and go, but returning to recreate. The place is quiet and just runs breeze. There's the future, thirty years later. It is a very placid. A place where we have reason to agree on a slower time. Against the prevailing view, the time is extended. The moments last longer. Gone are the days of busy schedules that overlap events without mercy. Time to be devoured. Time it was forbidden to waste a single second. It was the time pressure, a past time constrained by the occupations of everyday life.

head sometimes goes. The thoughts behind and flee to hide this. The place is far away. Sure, there must be an island to the south. Because the sky is immense, a blue insulting and smell different. Or is this it does not smell, because it seems so different even smell. It is a serene place. It is a welcoming place.

After thirty years, the road is long. The body has been cowed, while the spirit has endured. Yes, the spirit is better than your neighbor's mutated body. Had better periods of cohabitation, but I'm not complaining. Both have agreed to a joint understanding. The pulse has slowed, the time is extended, the waves keep repeating the movement.
Now, thirty years later, at seventy-four, so just understand that we must die. It is part of the game and bet. Dying is another place I travel, is peace. Cost me seventy-four years to realize. I've finally started to understand what it is die. Technorati tags
to carry out a new edition of the Science Week. Last year we had to move

blog via and other gadgets of the social web. This year I will see the fence. Behind the acts is Innobasque , in addition to University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU), SPRI, Basque
,
Elhuyar Fundazioa , Kutxaespacio Science, Rialia the Technology Park Network of the Basque Country, the Ministry of Education and Science Foundation and


English for Science and Technology (FECYT).
Anyway, begin the week with a lecture by Nicholas Negroponte , the super famous type

One Laptop Per Child

OLPC. Gripping my schedule that day and I can not attend the soiree. I'm taking quite a few things, but still the agenda is full of compromises. It is a conference that yes I would like to attend. I am one of those walks of life marked by Being Digital. Even I think there was a before and after this book in my life. The OLPC project started some years ago as a charity project. In fact is defined as non-profit organization: an


U.S.
non-profit organization set-up to Oversee the creation of an affordable Educational device for use in the Developing World . Its current focus is on the Development, construction and deployment of the XO-1 laptop

to Promote children's education in Developing Nations Negroponte defined as an educational project, not a computer project. In the spring of this year raised a genuine excitement about the project because the announcement that computers would also have proprietary operating system (guess which) and also by the presence of certain hazardous materials in its construction. Then there are the issues of the gadgets that cost money and what this means for the very poor economies such as those in Africa. These and other reasons led to resignations by members of the team meant to Negroponte. As so often, to recommend here a couple of articles published in Soitu Juan Freire: Behind the pretty face of OLPC (

first article, second article ). Also you can see also a preliminary assessment he did back in 2005: The $ 100 laptop: the problems are not discussed . However, chiaroscuro, is an interesting experience from many perspectives. I do not think through a conference answer questions, but I insist that someone who wrote a 1995 book Being Digital as it deserves to be heard. Of course, it would seem that your project has actually created a new niche market in the china shop: the low cost lightweight laptops. And think the worst from the point of view of manufacturing when you read "low cost". Okay, I am a bad idea. Science Week this year revolves around commodities. If I ask them, certainly for me, the issue is clear: the best raw material is that we have in our brains and our hearts. And its transformation, its development has to do with intensive learning spaces, with fertilization of ideas by exposing them and discuss them. Of course there are other commodities but history has taught us very far from their improper exploitation, whether in its primitive stage and subsequent stages of processing. Remember

Week of Science pursues these objectives: promote citizen participation in discussions about science and technology.

consolidate the public image of the CTI as a wealth-generating activities, development and quality of life, as well as ideas and opportunities.
encourage scientific vocations and ensure future competitiveness in terms of R + D + i.
Improving communication formats

to move successfully into society of scientific and technological.

• structures dedicated to promoting the popularization of science and support the consolidation of the already existing.
• Nothing, as far as you can you enjoy the week. I'm not sure what support will be blogging. What I planned on websites, but the link to today do not lead anywhere. I guess that will come to life any day now. If you prefer to tread the tents assembled every year in the three capitals:
