New Rules for the New Economy 1) Embrace the Swarm. As power flows away from the center, the competitive advantage belongs to those who learn how to embrace decentralized points of control. 2) Increasing Returns. As the number of connections between people and things add up, the consequences of those connections multiply out even faster, so that initial successes aren't self-limiting, but self-feeding. 3) Plentitude, Not Scarcity. As manufacturing techniques perfect the art of making copies plentiful, value is carried by abundance, rather than scarcity, inverting traditional business propositions. 4) Follow the Free. 5) Feed the Web First. 6) Let Go at the Top. 7) From Places to Spaces. 8) No Harmony, All Flux. 9) Relationship Tech. 10) Opportunities Before Efficiencies. ...disequilibrium, fragmentation, uncertainty, churn, and relativism, the anchors of meaning and value are in short supply. Because values and meaning are scarce today, technology will make our decisions for us. The future of technology is networks.
Les 4,9 milliards que Kerviel doit rembourser, ça représente quoi ? Jérôme Kerviel a été condamné à rembourser les 4,9 milliards d'euros perdus par la Société générale. 4,9 milliards, un chiffre abstrait. Afin de relier cette somme à certains éléments plus terre à terre, Rue89 a pris sa calculette pour découvrir ce que l'on pourrait acheter ou construire avec cette somme. Voici un panel -très subjectif- de nos recherches. ► Combien d'appartements de 100 m2 pourrait-on acheter dans le XIe arrondissement de Paris ? Considérant que la distribution du prix moyen , au mètre carré, dans le XIe arrondissement, s'élève à 7 220 euros, on pourrait acheter 6 787 appartements de 100 m2 dans ce quartier parisien. ► Combien d'Airbus A380 ? Le prix catalogue de cet avion s'élevant aux environs de 238 millions d'euros l'unité en moyenne, on pourrait acheter près de 20 Airbus A380. ► Combien de lingots d'or ? ► Combien de kilomètres d'autoroute française pourrait-on construire ? ► Combien de Rolls-Royce « Phantom » pourrait-on acheter ?
Developing Next-Gen Profiles: Collaboratory Mockup I’ve been having a lot of fun the past few weeks fleshing out our next-gen profiles for the Collaboratory. One of the things I think is critical for any sufficiently advanced social network is a way for us to actually express who we are as human beings – emotion, passion, intent, inherent gifts, and the like. The problem with Facebook and LinkedIn is they predefine the scope of what it means to be human. Either you’re this or that. This religious affiliation, this political view, this relationship status, this sex, and so forth. And that’s all fine for those who find comfort in the rigidity of those labels. But for those who wish to be untethered from that way of thinking, so that we can expand ourselves into expressing fuller human capacity, it’s a bit constraining. So we’re working on allowing people to show who they are and what they’re about from a deeper, more meaningful level. Profiles & Self-Discovery Profiles & The Future of Work Profiles & Mutual Improvement We’re real people.
Debt: The First 5,000 Years: Amazon.fr: David Graeber: Livres anglais et étrangers Superhero School: An Epicenter for Disruptive Innovation I put a short post up a few days ago in an online group I’m in, with the above image and this brief description: superhero school. center for disruptive innovation. continuous learning zone. collective intelligence. live/work startup incubator. community center. hackerspace. makerlab. autonomous zone. permaculture and sustainable food production. cooperatively owned communications infrastructure. resilience. r&d lab. a place for creative troublemakers. hudson valley. i want this to exist. It blew up to over 100 comments in less than 48 hours, with many people sharing their own thoughts and plans and existing initiatives to create similar things in their areas. If you take a look around the world right now, you will see that this is already happening. For full-on experiments in intentional living, look to Damanhur in Italy, Findhorn Foundation in Scotland, Twin Oaks in Virginia, Tamera in Portugal, the kibbutzim in Isreal, or live/work artists’ spaces like AS220 in Rhode Island.
Sabine Pietori - Google+ - La vidéo la plus efficace et passionnante sur le sujet. Si… What is Scenius? #SocialDNA [Translations: Italian] Scenius is like genius, only embedded in a scene rather than in genes. Brian Eno suggested the word to convey the extreme creativity that groups, places or “scenes” can occasionally generate. Individuals immersed in a productive scenius will blossom and produce their best work. The geography of scenius is nurtured by several factors: • Mutual appreciation — Risky moves are applauded by the group, subtlety is appreciated, and friendly competition goads the shy. • Rapid exchange of tools and techniques — As soon as something is invented, it is flaunted and then shared. • Network effects of success — When a record is broken, a hit happens, or breakthrough erupts, the success is claimed by the entire scene. • Local tolerance for the novelties — The local “outside” does not push back too hard against the transgressions of the scene. Scenius can erupt almost anywhere, and at different scales: in a corner of a company, in a neighborhood, or in an entire region.
Projects The Future of Money on vimeoin collaboration with KS12about In 2010, I approached via twitter and asked to come speak at SIBOS, “the world’s premiere financial services event.” I teamed up with a creative studio in Berlin (KS12), and we made a video to present at the conference. We conducted skype-based interviews with participants in America, England, Sweden, Mexico, Germany and Thailand.

Launching: Heartsong Project: Who I Am, My Passion, My Vision & Intentions As we’re building out human-centered next-gen profiles for the Collaboratory, we wanted an intimate and creative way for people to get to know each other. Enter: the Heartsong Project. (thanks lauren higgins for bringing up the term “heartsong” on our brainstorm call.) The idea is pretty simple and straightforward: Record a 1-3 minute video of you describing your heartsong. What’s a Heartsong? This is your personal “tune.” Who are you? What passion drives your actions? What makes your heart sing? Everyone has beautiful visions inside of themselves, and as we bring those to the surface and share them with each other, the likelihood of them becoming real amplifies. Let’s manifest! The above is a sample I made this morning. I also purchased the domain “heartsongproject.cc” I’d like this to be the 2nd project of Open Foresight. (Open Foresight is a series of models and methodologies we’re developing for co-creative visions of the future. Can’t wait to hear your heartsongs!!! Like this: Like Loading...
