Hello incoming altMBA students! Congratulations on adding your name to the small but growing list of people who have decided to “leap” (as Seth likes to say) – to make the change you dream to make in your lives. Throughout the past month, as a member of the inaugural class of altMBA, I’ve felt extremely challenged at times, emotionally bare, getting the metaphorical crap kicked out of me by our latest prompt or challenge, and conflicted by what is comfortable and reliable (and boring and monotonous), and what is passionate and inspiring (and scary as sh*t). If I were Jack’s electric medulla oblongata, I would tell you that there are 3 real rules of altMBA, while on the altMBA site you will discover there are two core principles to the program. You will learn two are crucial: Make Good DecisionsMake Change Happen
Jethro Tull "He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays" Class C Introduction encryptedPageMaker There is no need to use your own webhost to serve a webpage. You can use this page to generate special URL that loads the page you create. When you have the URL, save it or share it on social media and forums. Often we forget to frame what we want to really achieve in our innovation activity, instead we simply dive in and start innovating. I believe until we know what solutions we feel we need or the market wants, we will more often than not, end up disappointed in our innovation solutions. Simply generating ideas, for ideas sake, just does not cut it at all. evidence of offline life Offliberty lets you access any online content without a permanent Internet connection.

I’m in awe of people who can look at birds, any bird at all, and tell you exactly the type of bird it is. I look at dogs and all I see is a dog, and when people tell me it’s a half Charles Spaniel, half beagle, I literally nod and smile, imagining that the dog is Prince Charles, because this means nothing to me. People who look at plants and can list off an impressive knowledge of them? I worship those people.
Communication Framework for Change Agents Change agents and their ideas are the life force of organizations. Innovation of all kinds is essential for organizations to grow and thrive; in fact, organizations that can more easily respond to new facts and conditions have a great advantage. In their book Super-Flexibility for Knowledge Enterprises, UC Berkeley’s Dr. Homa Bahrami and Carnegie Mellon’s Dr. Stuart Evans tell us that super flexible organizations are the most successful.
'The challenge was to play like a human': AI takes on the gamers When DeepMind, Google’s AI research outfit, set out to demonstrate its latest breakthrough, it had to confront an added twist: how do you set your robot free to play games on the internet without anyone realising they’re competing against it? The company caused a stir when it announced that its AlphaGo AI had beaten a world-class player at the ancient Asian boardgame Go. A few months later, it beat the world number one player. But for the deeply strategic real-time war game StarCraft II, it had a different goal: to reach “grandmaster” standard – putting it in the top 200 players worldwide – on the game’s public servers, building its ranking the same way any human player would. That meant being matched with a steadily improving cadre of other human players, and winning against them consistently enough to be promoted into those lofty ranks.

About Booker — Bayou Maharajah In 1960 Booker enrolled at Southern University in Baton Rouge, but his drug habit followed him; he left school and returned to the music business, in large part to supply his drug habit. He recorded the organ-driven single “Gonzo,” named for a character in the 1960 film The Pusher, which hit the charts for eleven weeks, peaking at number forty-three. For most of his adult life, Booker made his living as a sideman behind a wide range of musicians: Joe Tex, Aretha Franklin, Fats Domino, Maria Muldaur, Ringo Starr, the Doobie Brothers, and “Mac” Rebennack—better known as Dr. John—among many others.

WhatApp’s valuation may be extreme, but huge gaps between revenues and valuation are increasingly common. Cloud-based sharing service Dropbox received venture capital funding at a valuation of $10 billion, or 40 times revenues. Airbnb.com raised funding at a valuation of $10 billion, which would make it worth nearly 20 times its revenues — and worth more than Hyatt Hotels or Wyndham Worldwide. Taxi-replacement service Uber is currently raising funding and is expected to see a valuation of $30 billion, estimated to be more than 15 times revenues. Most recently, Alibaba’s IPO raised funds at a value approximately 10 times revenues.
