Nous vivons aujourd'hui une époque révolutionnaire, aussi révolutionnaire que la période qui a suivi l'invention de l'imprimerie. Mais cela n'exclut pas l'existence de continuités.

From Do It Yourself to Do It Together - John Hagel III and John Seely Brown - Harvard Business Review
troisième ère industrielle… L'homme sortant de la forêt, s'organisant en village pour mieux vivre ensemble. Prochaine étape le DIWAB? (Do It With A Boss)But maybe DIY is just a precursor to even more powerful forms of Do It Together (DIT), pulling together larger numbers of diversified and talented individuals to more and more rapidly innovate and drive new levels of performance on a continuing basis. Of course, whenever a team forms, we have a form of DIT but, as we all know, teams are not scalable. What we would really need is an environment where many teams can organize and begin to create and share knowledge across team boundaries.

Harvard study: Computers don't save hospitals money
"For 45 years or so, people have been claiming computers are going to save vast amounts of money and that the payoff was just around the corner," he said. "So the first thing we need to do is stop claiming things there's no evidence for. It's based on vaporware and [hasn't been] shown to exist or shown to be true."
Un RSI, ça se calcule, mais pour ça, il faut oser regarder le passé en face : ça c'est innovant.

This being a blog about maps, I of course mean Harvard not as a school but as a geographic entity. What color is the landscape, physical and cultural? When people look around at whatever interests them, what colors are they looking at?

Authored by John Clippinger
John Clippinger, who directs the Law Lab at Harvard University, predicts a huge shift over the next one to two years in the way people manage their identities. He asserts that "user-centric identity, "the ability of individuals to carry their information from one site to another in a "cloud" of their own making, will become increasingly important.

Pleading Poverty: Colleges Want Parents to Foot the Bill for Their Largess - WSJ.com
We can now add colleges and universities to the list of victims of the financial crisis. The stock-market collapse has badly eroded endowments, forcing schools to suspend capital projects, freeze hiring, rethink need-blind financial-aid policies and cut budgets. The Journal reported this week that Harvard University's giant-killer endowment, which stood at $36.9 billion as of June 30, has lost 22% of its value in the months since and that the university's administration is planning for a 30% decline for the fiscal year ending next June.
I Just Quit My Job... Am I Crazy? - Harvard Business Online's Conversation Starter
:)I did the unthinkable yesterday. In the midst of this economic turbulence we're facing, I decided to leave my job to pursue some long-neglected passions of mine: studying foreign language, teaching, and something so self-indulgent I can hardly bear to utter it (writing). What I'm leaving behind is admittedly a middling (but respectable) career in publishing, but one, from the point of view of the working class people I grew up with, you just wouldn't throw away. My parents didn't go to college, and to them "pissing away" a decent salary is about as stupid a move as you can make.
