Wayne Dyer said “Avoiding the present moment is almost a disease in our culture, and we are continually being conditioned to sacrifice the present for the future. Carried to its logical conclusion, this attitude is not merely the avoidance of enjoyment in the now, but an evasion of happiness forever. David Hawkins said “The true source of joy and happiness is the realization of one’s existence in this very moment” These are just a few quotes from the many great teachers past and present. There are hundreds more. There is a common thread running through every spiritual teaching that has ever come into existence…and ever will do. And it is a simple one.
An Excerpt from The Great Transformation: The Beginning of Our Religious Tradition by Karen Armstrong Karen Armstrong presents a bold and inspiring overview of compassion and reverence for life as ideals that can save the planet. Here is an excerpt on compassion as an essential practice of the religions that developed during the Axial Age from 800 - 2000 BCE.

Thoughts and observations on the intersection of technology and business; searching for better understanding of what's relevant, where's the value, and (always) what's the goal ... Quantifying Business Benefit of Collaboration Tools (or, What Is This Meeting Costing Me?) This post started off as an excuse to experiment with Google Docs, and this really neat feature I discovered - embedding a spreadsheet in a web page as a sharing method. However, it struck me as a potential way to cost justify the time, effort, and expense of implementing collaboration systems with the Most Cynical Among Us.

Do You Have the Strength to Embrace Innovation in a 2.0 World?
If you aren’t yet using Enterprise 2.0 (or Web 2.0 - let’s not get hung up on labels as a barrier to adoption) for Innovation... What are you waiting for? If you’ve begun, what return have you seen?I t’s been about 40 years since my first environmental activism, fighting against the Churchill River hydroelectric diversion in Northern Manitoba and the Mackenzie Valley Oil & Gas Pipelines through the pristine and fragile Canadian arctic to US markets. We lost the Churchill River fight — in 1976 the so-called socialist provincial government flooded 850 square kilometres to divert 80% of the water from one huge river to another — because it was cheaper to dam one than two. All told, 2600 sq. km. were flooded, 25,000 First Nations people were either driven off their land or had their way of life irrevocably altered, and the ecosystems of the northern half of the province were desolated in ways we’re only now beginning to realize.

PwC Technology Forecast on Enterprise Architecture, Modeling and
Tom DeGarmo, Principal and Technology Leader of PwC, has announced the latest edition of Technology Forecast, Unlocking hidden transformation value , 2010, Issue 1, the PwC annual enterprise architecture issue that looks at modeling and simulation from an architectural and transformation standpoint. “What we learned from this first exploratory research phase,” Tom notes in the introduction, “was that companies are using models in a wide variety of ways to help with a wide variety of decisions. Some of those decisions involve how to launch entirely new businesses. And some of the best decisions being made are supported by models that look at companies as complex adaptive systems.” The lead article for this issue, “Embracing unpredictability,” focuses on the rich modeling and simulation techniques companies are beginning to use to make space for and encourage emergent properties, the unpredictable behavior that can create value.
The pattern of life is a network pattern. The individual links in the network of life, of course are strands of DNA. But without the network of connections linking DNA and our cells, those individual strands are useless.

As I suggested in a recent post on What Private Equity Teaches Us About CRM in a Recession , organisations who want to survive the recession will have to focus on the bigger value equation. Not just on the customer experience, not just on loyalty, not just on profit, but on mutual value creation for customers and shareholders. Part of understanding the bigger value creation is in knowing which of your customers are the most valuable and which have the greatest growth potential. That way you can focus your resources on those customers who bring the greatest returns.

Question the oldies Mind Map | Mind Map Inspiration
Most of us can find someone older than us to learn from whether family or friends. I have created a quick example mindmap; you can create your own or use this as a starting point. You may need to create a number of mind maps for this exercise. Perhaps start a new project for 2010 interviewing people and summarising their life stories with mindmaps. I hope you enjoy viewing my Mind Maps – there are hundreds more planned here at the Mind Map Inspiration Blog plus ongoing creativity and drawing tips.

People-Centered Economic Development : History
People-Centered Economic Development, P-CED, derived from a paper for the steering committee to reelect the [US] President in 1996. Following is a synopsis of that paper. At first glance, it might seem redundant to emphasize people as the central focus of economics.Many of us have been struggling with JUST the right visual to show these links, acknowledging that many tools can occur in more than one level depending on how you use them, and also recognizing that learners do not move linearly through the levels, but instead go in and out of them as their knowledge and experience grows in many dimensions at once. Becky Fisher: It's not about how (the tool); it's about the what (use of the tool). @Braddo Bloom himself expressly says his taxonomy IS a hierarchy: learning at the higher levels is dependent on learning acquired at the lower levels. Certainly, once one has learned to work at level 5, or synthesis, for example, one can and often does move up and down through comprehension, application and so on. But that is not all all the same as saying Bloom's taxonomy is not hierarchical
