Growth through Knowledge for Action & Action for Knowledge: stimulating critical thinking, facilitating practical action
Organizational #visions are impacted by the #disruptive forces of pervasive #digital challenges and change. Increasingly they need revisions, upgrades, new directions. This is all because digital challenges unavoidably affect any level of management #decisionmaking . #Volvo represents an interesting case study on the subject matter. #innovation #Fasttrackbook
A very interesting article on the topic.
Are #people in companies considered and managed as an #asset ? Assets that can and need to express the best of their #potentials and #talents . Money and physical infrastructure are considered by default organizational assets; often people are hired and managed without following the same kind of logic and even respect.
This article illustrates an interesting perspective on the topic …
It comes to no surprise that the #tesla #businessmodel begins to revive some sound questioning; after many creative ideas (some materialized into innovations, some still wacky) and too much outlandish PR boosting, now it needs to be reached the next step of concrete sound industrial development.
It could represent a sound turning point for the better, yet there are more doubts than certainties on this…
#bigdata #artificialintelligence #automation ; they all represent processes set to have a marked impact on business development, organizational as well as socio-economic level.
Various technological and mindset forces are integrating in synergy. Hopefully this will generate progress that is not only relevant to increase productivity and efficiency in manufacturing by delivering product and services; actual social progress for the betterment of the human condition needs to be part of this as well.
Within contexts of continuos #change generating problems and therefore #opportunities to solve them;
the foundations of active #entrepreneurship need to come from real life experience and #experientiallearning
No doubt these days leading up to the next F1 Spain GP have put #Bottas in the spotlight for his recent maiden F1 win. The speed and coolheaded approach he is shown on track is also linked to #effective #teamwork with his new #Mercedes technical group.
He has purposefully chosen not you have with him personnel from his previous #Williams team in order to fully and rapidly immerge himself within the culture and work approach of Mercedes. Seeking #nocomfortzone purposefully appears to pay off right from the get-go of the 2017 F1 season.
#Africa is just about to show all of his mighty and potential linked to a workforce with standards of skills and know-how rapidly rising. Yet the drive to these developments is still foreign: #Chinese .
Quite an interesting overall case study from an economic and societal point of view, interesting article… “The world next great manufacturing center”.

Thought provoking view: after realizing that we need to focus on becoming #professionals (spilling and branding ourselves), the next step is the one to go totally of preset job dynamics into the ones that are focusing in #criticalthinking and relevant #problemsolving ; to note that we are bound to use our brain more than ever! Let’s leave #ArtificialIntelligence work on all the other stuff …
At the following link a very interesting article from Professor Mark Jenkins. I believe that the current dynamics in F1 (relevant to technological and overall management change) make the contents of it even more sound and relevant. It will be interesting to see the impact of a the integration of the overall management american and european style in LibertyMedia over the project.
Ross Brawn is playing a key role in this from an experience and cross-cultural view perspective.
