In our studio Luke’s role was to archive our work and reflect it back to the team in a unique way, much like the documentation of these principles. Pursued with persistence and the eye of a journalist, the Studio Mirror should capture not only WHAT is being made but HOW and by WHOM.

This isn’t simply dumping files on a server but rather curating the content in a way that is compelling and consumable for the team. For example, our studio created a quarterly magazine. You can read ADQ2.1: The Launch Issue here. There are many reasons to identify a single person to own the documentation process. First and foremost, the details of a project are easy to forget, especially when projects last several years. But perhaps the most important value for persistently documenting the collective work of a studio is that it is a sound investment in the future.

Creating global connections, inspiring people - Video Oasis Training Brazilie. Crowd Rules. The Heretic Network. On Making Things Happen — The Found. I spent some time thinking about the basic building blocks for business for a talk to the film students at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. I wanted to teach these aspiring artists about business in a way that empowered them to take control of the entire creative process - which at one time or another will inevitably include money and other people, two areas that have often clouded and stunted art (and many other creation processes).

So, how do people create things? Works of art, delicious meals, stable relationships, booming businesses. Going from an idea into physical reality is not a trivial task: this is the essence of being human. The ability to make something not only helps us feel alive, it is literally all there is to do these days, now that we aren’t exactly fighting for survival any more.

A big part of the problem is that the practice of creation has been segmented for specialists. We will start with a linear process, for simplicity: How to Contribute | The Internet Wishlist.

Sharing Information Corrupts Wisdom of Crowds | Wired Science. When people can learn what others think, the wisdom of crowds may veer towards ignorance. In a new study of crowd wisdom — the statistical phenomenon by which individual biases cancel each other out, distilling hundreds or thousands of individual guesses into uncannily accurate average answers — researchers told test participants about their peers’ guesses. As a result, their group insight went awry. “Although groups are initially ‘wise,’ knowledge about estimates of others narrows the diversity of opinions to such an extent that it undermines” collective wisdom, wrote researchers led by mathematician Jan Lorenz and sociologist Heiko Rahut of Switzerland’s ETH Zurich, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on May 16. “Even mild social influence can undermine the wisdom of crowd effect.”

Study participants were asked how many murders occurred in Switzerland in 2006. As Surowiecki explained, certain conditions must be met for crowd wisdom to emerge. See Also: Samen is het een Makkie.

Blog. By: Haiz Oppenheimer As of March 2014, Airbnb has hit 600,000 current listings of people who are offering to rent space in their homes to overnight guests for a fee. Airbnb is just one of a suite of bold startups that are making profits by changing the way people think about how they buy, sell, share, and trade products and services in their daily lives. Companies like Uber and Lyft use smartphone apps to connect car owners with people who are looking to pay for a ride. Craigslist and NeighborGoods have created markets for people to sell, swap, or loan their unused stuff with each other. Airbnb, Uber, and NeighborGoods are part of the rise of what is being called the sharing economy. In the sharing economy, millions of people are cutting traditional hotels, taxis, and retail businesses out of the equation to earn income and save money by renting out their cars and homes, and sharing expensive items like power tools that they don’t need every day.

The confession of a recovering radical connectionist | I’m a recovering a radical connectionist. I used to believe that the scope of the we-space and the depth of our CI will increase as more of us link up into the nervous system of the emergent Civilization 2.0. I still do but with a significant refinement: the systems and structures of Civ 2.0 already in process have a much vaster variety than I/we can fathom, let alone connect with directly. The new strategy I pursue is based on perceiving that emergence as coming forth from an ecosystem of zillions transformational initiatives and projects. Then I navigate the neighboring niches, looking for naturally occurring functional alignment between my gifts to the whole and theirs.

HeroX. A GOOD Experiment. A year ago, I came to GOOD to help the company with its effort to establish a community, rather than just an audience. As I saw it, GOOD's view—once controversial—that living well and doing good weren't mutually exclusive, had become part of the mainstream. How could GOOD take the next step and translate that into impact? How to accomplish impact certainly isn't obvious. The landscape is littered with companies that have failed to do it. Those that have survived have done so through becoming a neutral platform: whatever cause you have they will help you support. But at GOOD, which represents the values of global citizens, neutrality isn't an option. So our big, hairy, audacious goal is to build a vibrant community of doers that are making a difference in the world.

But we don't want to stop there. Procedure: Create an environment where people can celebrate the actions they are taking and encourage global neighboring actions.
