Bob Sutton’s new book, “Scaling Up Excellence: Getting to More Without Settling for Less,” contains an interesting section towards the end on looking back from the future, which talks about “a mind trick that goads and guides people to act on what they know and, in turn, amplifies their odds of success.”

This Is A Brilliant Approach To Making Better Decisions

We build on Nobel winner Daniel Kahneman’s favourite approach for making better decisions. This may sound weird, but it’s a form of imaginary time travel. It’s called the premortem. And, while it may be Kahneman’s favourite, he didn’t come up with it. A fellow by the name of Gary Klein invented the premortem technique. A premortem works something like this.

In 1997, analysts predicted the country would not last until 2010. (Reuters) In 1997, the U.S. intelligence outfit charged with long-term strategic thinking made some startling predictions: by 2010, North Korea would be transformed into a normal state and tensions on the peninsula would be eliminated; the western world would see unending 2-percent growth in personal income; and precision weapons would make conflicts smaller and less costly. None of those things happened. The U.S. Unlike previous reports, the GT2030 report tries to account for predictions made in previous versions. The Global Trends reports tend to be two-sided.

Il en livre une critique sans concession, mais qui permet d’analyser et de prendre du recul sur la façon dont l’innovation est trop souvent célébrée. Prenez cette note de lecture foisonnante comme une occasion de débattre sur ce qu’est l’économie numérique aujourd’hui… et ce qu’elle n’est pas. L’âge de la multitude est un livre étrange qui brouille les attentes générées par ce titre spinozien, qu’on retrouve chez Toni Negri et chez Yann Moulier-Boutang.

Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre Photography - The Ruins of Detroit

The idea of a fast and autonomous means of displacement was slowly becoming a reality for engineers all over the world.
