Hiram Baez Andino, Teacher trainer / Technology at Fray Bartolome de las CasasMe encantó demasiado. El bosque lluvioso, nublado o húmedo está formidable. Entre todas esas ideas de cómo la sociedad misma debe sobrevivir están las excelentes recomendaciones de vida o muerte. Muchas gracias por compartir esta excelente presentación.

Hic sunt dracones Here be dragons. Only occurs here. Marco Polo’s Dagroians who “feasted upon the dead and ate their bones”. Nasty people, but more like auditors than dragons.

ONCE UPON A TIME…
THIS IS HOW WE DEFINED ECONOMIC PROCESS
ECONOMICSThe science of explaining tomorrow, why the predictionsyou made yesterday, didn’t come true today
But in the real world Not gears, but human beings Landlord Land Engineer Labor Output Capital Investor Science Scientist
And real human beings are separated… by geography, culture, language, time zones, socialnetworks, and lack of trust.
This happens across entire systems. Across an entire system
BUT WE ARE BIOLOGY …NOT BUILDINGS
“Spontaneous sociability is critical to economic life because virtually all economic activity is carried out by groups rather than individuals.” Economic historians Douglass North and Robert Thomas (P47 of “Trust”)
ACTIONS OUTCOMESThis is where we tend to focus
BELIEFS BEHAVIORACTIONS OUTCOMESThis is where we need to focus
Implicit Explicit
NATURE IS AWESOME
THE RISE OFINDUSTRIALECONOMIES
Scarcity
THE EMERGENCE OF KNOWLEDGE &CREATIVE ECONOMIES
Abundance
EXPLICIT TACIT
For a new species For a new startup temperature, humidity, capital, entrepreneurs, precipitation, sunlight, laws/norms, ideas/inventions,soil/nutrients, other flora/fauna talent, markets
Can we engineer serendipity through design byweaving together a tapestry of inter-disciplinaryideas to create a “bottom-up” economic model? Frederick Jackson Turner Ade W. Edwards Mabogunje Deming Robert Sapolsky Annalee Saxenian Danah Boyd HernandoSean de Soto fMRI imagingGourley James Fowler “Design Thinking” Ronald IlyaE.O. Wilson (Rolf Faste, et al) Coase Prigogine Richard Francis Thaler Fukuyama
YES!
Because we know it’s not just about creative destructionMore important…and more difficult…is creative reassembly
Like a fractal equation in nature…
…what is the micro cultural pattern that generates macro phenomena in places like Silicon Valley?
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent… but the one most responsive to change.” Charles Darwin
To develop innovation, we need more than mere programs.We must build tribes of trust that practiceculture based on diversity, lowering social barriers, aspirational motivations, andnorms that promote rapid, “promiscuous” collaboration and experimentation.
A New Paradigm• Predict and Repeat Learn and Adapt• Business Planning Business Modeling• Eliminate Risk Manage Risk• Never Fail Fail fast and cheaply• Outputs Outcomes (Patents ≠ Products)• Invention Innovation
Tell me and I forget Show me and I rememberInvolve me and I understand “Chinese Proverb”
Rules of the RainforestRule #1: Break rules and dream.Rule #2: Open doors and listen.Rule #3: Trust and be trusted.Rule #4: Experiment and iterate together.Rule #5: Seek fairness, not advantage.Rule #6: Err, fail, and persist.Rule #7: Pay it forward.

What can we learn from psychology?How does human behavior really change? Across an entire system
People learn behavior through real-world“doing,” role modeling, peer interactionwith diverse partners, feedbackmechanisms, and explicit codes ofconduct. Across an entire system
