Pfizer et son incubateur Innovation et transfert de technologieL'externalisation de l'innovation chez Pfizer prend la forme d'incubateurs indépendants Début 2007 s'ouvrait à La Jolla, Californie, le premier incubateur issu de Pfizer : The Pfizer Incubator, TPI. Cet incubateur unique en son genre est destiné entre autres à stimuler l'innovation chez Pfizer. Pfizer est une entreprise pharmaceutique créée en 1849 dont la mission est la recherche et le développement de nouveaux traitements. Comme la plupart des grosses entreprises pharmaceutiques "classiques" elle exploite des brevets relativement anciens sur des molécules principalement issues de la chimie. C'est pourquoi aujourd'hui plus que jamais Pfizer développe son positionnement sur l'innovation. Les modalités sont très flexibles et négociées au cas par cas. Une première start-up s'est déjà installée : Fabrus LLC, qui travaille sur l'identification de nouveaux anticorps fonctionnels.

Meanwhile, a business card that uses custom die cutting is unmistakable in both look and feel; you can’t help but notice it. The captivating effect of custom die cuts doesn’t end with business cards — it applies to folders, brochures, postcards and any other bit of print media a designer might need to create for a client.

Espace Cowork Grenoble Alan Moore: The Last of the Kodak Moments I am little sad of the passing of Kodak. Some of us, of a certain age, have piles of Kodak slides and snaps, uniquely connecting us to our childhood, and personal histories. Hearing about Kodak's recent demise, filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy, also got me thinking about the current woes, of other organizations and industries that are struggling and failing as they are unable to adjust to what is to them an ambiguous world. The challenge of living in an ambiguous world When faced with disruptive ambiguity few embrace that ambiguity, to understand it, to listen deeply and think very hard about transformation -- how to transform, and how to design for transformation. I would argue that our industrial world has reached the edge of its adaptive range, Kodak, Nokia, the banking crisis, pensions, venture capital, the NHS are all examples. The trilemma of our current age The institutions, organizations and systems that we still use were designed and built for a less complex world.

Great Philosophers: Wittgenstein Ludwig Wittgenstein The last half of twentieth century Anglo-American (i.e. British and American) thought is often characterized as what is often called the linguistic turn. This describes a common trend of turning to language as the main subject of study in a diverse range of areas including literature, anthropology, sociology, and gave rise to fields such as linguistics and semiotics. As an example of this dominance of this linguistic turn, consider how even fields like biology and zoology grew to include studies of questions such as whether animals have language? In philosophy the linguistic turn indicates intense interest in questions such as: - What is meaning? The limits of my language mean the limits of my world. A key statement in this preface is that he is seeking to draw a limit to thought. Now, someone might reply; "Well but what if there are things in existence that are beyond our human ability to imagine or conceive?" As already noted, the words;
