The 7 Forces Driving an Organization – Teach, Coach & Consult Dealing with complexity is not an easy task. First and foremost you require a worldview that will enable you to understand and deal with the complexity. I am not sure which is more difficult – understanding it or dealing with it! The worldview that I am a strong proponent of though, is the systemic worldview. In this regard one needs to understand what a systemic worldview is about. A system is an entity that can take various forms. Examples of systems include entities such as individual people, teams, sections, divisions, departments, companies, industries, societies, nations, cultural groups, etc. A person can be, and is, a member of various systems. The systems thinking school of which I am a big fan of, is the Biomatrix school of systems thinking.

Las consecuencias del choque de dos estrellas de neutrones Sabemos que es complicado imaginarlo pero, ¿qué ocurre cuando se fusionan dos estrellas de neutrones? Es precisamente lo que ha descubierto un equipo internacional de astrónomos liderado por el italiano Giancarlo Ghirlanda. Cuando se da este proceso astronómico tremendamente energético, un gigantesco chorro de materia emerge a unas velocidades absolutamente enormes, muy cercanas a la velocidad de la luz. “En agosto de 2017, dos estrellas de neutrones colisionaron y se fundieron en un solo objeto, produciendo ondas gravitatorias que se detectaron con los observatorios LIGO y Virgo”, explica Miguel Pérez-Torres del Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (perteneciente al CSIC), que ha participado en el hallazgo. Y según afirman el mismo investigador del CSIC a través de una nota de prensa, "es la primera vez que se detecta luz a lo largo de todas las longitudes de onda del espectro electromagnético asociada a un fenómeno relacionado con la producción de ondas gravitatorias".

Key Concepts of Negotiation, Crucial Business Negotiation Tips & Tactics Career & Business Secrets for the best leverage in your negotiations Posted by: Team Tony By special guest author Keith J. Most people never get training in the key concepts of negotiation, yet it is one of the most essential skills in business and in life. The purpose of a negotiation Simply, the purpose of a negotiation is to maximize the meeting of your interests. But here is the paradox: In order to get the most that you can, you must also meet the other person’s interests. Components of every negotiation First, it’s important to understand the three components of a negotiation: Desire: There has to be desire on both parties’ parts to even start negotiating.Agreement: You have to care about the outcome, but you can’t care too much.No fixed rules: There will always be some rules, like if you and I are negotiating for me to buy your car, we will probably both have our clothes on and be making the exchange in money. What happens in power negotiation? The base of a successful negotiation
Desarrollan hojas artificiales que convierten el CO2 del aire en combustible Una hoja artificial capaz de imitar el proceso de fotosíntesis de las plantas. Sí, ese mismo que realizan las plantas durante el día para convertir el dióxido de carbono y la luz del sol en materia orgánica. De hecho, este desarrollo podría ser hasta 10 veces más útil para deshacerse del CO2. Una hoja artificial capaz de imitar el proceso de fotosíntesis de las plantas. Este hecho fue protagonizado por investigadores de la Universidad de Illinois en Chicago. Hasta ahora todos los diseños que se han utilizado en los laboratorios usan CO2 proveniente de tanques presurizados. Así, lo que hicieron fue encerrar las hojas ya existentes en cápsulas hechas con una membrana semipermeable de resina de amonio cuaternario y también las llenaron de agua. Una vez dentro el CO2, un absorbente de luz y varios catalizadores lo terminan convirtiendo en monóxido de carbono. La idea de estas hojas es que sean fabricadas en grandes tamaños y en una buena cantidad.

Why “Green Growth” Is an Illusion Wishful thinking and tinkering won’t cut it. Nothing short of a mass mobilization for deep de-carbonization across the global economy can avert the looming climate catastrophe. Sounding the Alarm on Global Warming If the Paris climate agreement of December 2015—the so-called COP21 —provided cause for optimism that, after years of fruitless diplomatic squabbling, coordinated global action to avoid dangerous climate change and ensure manageable warming of less than 2° Celsius, would finally happen, recent publications by climate scientists are loudly sounding the alarm bells. Allowing warming to reach 2°C would create risks that any reasonable person—if not, perhaps, Donald Trump—would regard as deeply dangerous. …But Don’t Panic. The alarmist tone of the “Hothouse Earth” analyses stands in contrast to more upbeat reports that there has been a delinking between economic growth and carbon emissions in recent times, at least in the world’s richest countries. Is Obama Right About Decoupling?
Don’t have 10,000 hours to learn something? All you need is 20 hours Raúl Soria Writer Josh Kaufman shares his own tried-and-tested technique to learn a new skill by putting in just 45 minutes a day for a month. Every weekday for the month of January, TED Ideas is publishing a new post in a series called “How to Be a Better Human,” containing a helpful piece of advice from a speaker in the TED community. To see all the posts in the series, click here.

Writer Josh Kaufman, author of The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything … Fast and The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business has figured out why so many of us get stopped in our tracks during this early learning period. 1. 2. 3. 4.
