How Apple reinvented themselves , from 1981 to 2011 @LaVanguardia
We usually tend to remember only success, but learning and innovation comes usually from failure. Today people only see Apple as the highly successful company for last 8 years, but on 2001 still Apple was in red. What can we learn ? Innovation is the key and not just the cost, only creating products with high value for customers will succeed.
El mundo de los mapas: Nuevo paradigma en la formaci??n en SIG via @geoinquiets

Education is in a huge disruptive time. Generation Y, the native digital scholars do need diferent ways for learning. Access to knowledge is becoming more easy through the net and the traditional teaching process must change to follow up the new disruptive digital environment.
GIS training is in a similar disruptive time. Maps, GPS, check-in and location apps are becoming natural part of end-users. As Dr. Armando Guevara says : “success of technology is when it is not seen”.
The challenge for people coming from the cartographic world will be how to convert such complex and sofisticated GIS technology, based on deep cartographic knowledge, to develop value added applications and services for end users.
When I built my home some years ago I asked to the architect why the name was ‘H Arquitectes’, why the ‘H’ in front of the name. The answer was amazing : “the ‘H’ is a letter that is there but you do not perceive (never pronounced in Spanish and Catalan) So, our architecture is designed and created in a way that you perceive the beauty but do not realize is there” http://harquitectes.com/
I believe that principle must also be applied to technology when delivered to end -users : must be there but not perceived.
Just do it for all GIS and new cartographic and location world.
This is the challenge.
#INprenedors quanta SAVIESA innovant a l’empresa … “HACKEJANT el sistema des de baix”
http://bit.ly/lsIgfa @eoi #in
Prenc la llibertat d’extreure algunes notes per fer entrar les ganes de llegir el document complert, val la pena. Tant de bo es llanc??s un programa per educar i promocionar el concepte des de l’escola :
“… qu?? ??s un INprenedor dins d???una empresa? Tots els que ens considerem INprenedors, d???alguna manera, ens hem sentit una mica revolucionaris, una mica bandolers dins de la nostra organitzaci??. No acceptem les coses tal com s??n i intentem canviar-les i utilitzem, per a aix??, t??cniques de guerrilla: la tenacitat, la sorpresa, la ???invisibilitat??? en molts casos …”
Hi havia un programa a TV3 amb el Capit?? Enciam que deia : “els petits canvis s??n poderosos ! ” o en el cap??tol 12 : “HACKEJANT el sistema des de baix : canviar les coses sense prendre el poder” :
“Els hacks s??n el resultat d???una ment creativa que s???enfronta a un problema ent??s com a repte intel??lectual, i acostumen a produir-se en condicions de necessitat o de joc … Per a una ment creativa, la motivaci?? intr??nseca que desferma un hack ??s diversos ordres de magnitud m??s reconfor- tant que la motivaci?? extr??nseca, basada en diners o cotes de poder m??s elevades.“
I una reflexi?? for??a interessant : Sense prendre el poder
“Per qu?? sense prendre el poder? Perqu??, com pensa Holloway, cap de les presumptes vies per canviar les coses a trav??s de la presa del poder (revolucion??ries o reformistes, segons la tradici?? marxista) ha tingut ??xit i han ocasionat precisament tot el contrari, la repetici?? de les mateixes estructures de poder, amb l???agreujant de la tensi?? provocada pel propi canvi. Cruel??ssims eufemismes hist??rics com la ???Revoluci?? Cultural??? de Mao Tse Tung s??n manuals d???aix?? mateix. Sense posar-nos tan dram??tics, ??s f??cil recordar antics companys amb ganes de canviar la b??stia organitzativa des de dintre (reformisme), que acaben sent un ressort m??s de la seva gran maquin??ria, o que, creant noves iniciatives o empreses (revo- luci??) amb lloables intencions inicials, cauen de nou en tot all?? que van voler evitar.”
Llegiu el document. Hi ha tamb?? una versi?? en castell?? http://bit.ly/guCzf7
The future is CO-operation CO-creation CO-ordination … more from @acornella in www.co-society.com
OUR STORY
via co-society.com
co-society project : “The future is co- Collaboration, co-creation, coordination, combined skills to generate hybrid projects: beyond ???open innovation???, the future is about multiplying the capacity of businesses so that new products and services can emerge and stimulate a new economic force of energy. This is the focus for Infonomia???s launch of the Co-Society project.”
It looks like a natural path : for ‘digital natives’ CO- is something embedded in their gens, it will become their natural way to think. Our children have changed radically, “There is a big discontinuity” as Marc Prensky explains in his document “Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants” http://bit.ly/Cdgmv
Such discontinuity will require much more innovation and such innovation will require a complete different inference, projects like co-society is an example.
