"Is MBA important to be an Entrepreneur" by Sanjay Nath and Rajat MathurAbhilash Ravishankar
A presentation at the BITSAA Silicon Valley Chapter by Sanjay Nath, Co-founder and CEO - Loxodrome Solutions and Rajat Mathur, MBA student - LBS/Columbia
This is the presentation given to new students to have them understand what the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship is and what makes it so awesome. Lots of info coupled with some humor. September 2014
Innovation is a necessity and solution to problems faced by the World today will emerge from within the Startup ecosystem, which will help make this World a better place.
Today's talk explores this subject further by answering the questions ...
What is the purpose of Startups in our World ?
And what role do Entrepreneurial Leaders play in the Startups and in our World ?
Preparing as Entrepreneur and for Entrepreneurship. What does it take to prepare before starting a Business. This presentation can be a preparation starter kit for people looking to start their own venture.
The People Side of Innovation
These days, there is much talk about open innovation, business model innovation and innovation culture. These are important topics, but the most significant element to anything related to innovation will always be people.
It is people that make things happen and this is you, your colleagues, your customers and other external partners that you engage with to bring innovation to market.
It is not that long ago that a good innovator was considered to be a good engineer or R&D person. However, things have changed big time over the last 5-7 years as the open innovation and business model innovation movements continue to rise while companies have failed to upgrade their innovation capabilities during the financial crisis.
In this talk, Stefan Lindegaard will explain the consequences of these changes as he looks into the skills and mindset that are required to be a good innovator in this era of “modern innovation,” which is driven more by openness and business models than internal R&D and patents.
The topics include:
• 7 critical personal competencies for innovation success
• an overview of the types of people and functions you need for a strong innovation team
• insights on the key elements for corporate innovation training programs
• a view on why some people kill innovation – and how to deal with them

Stop Talking About Innovation!
We need to limit the use of the word and the term “innovation” and we need to ban the term “innovation culture” entirely.

How Xerox Services is Driving Learning Culture with New L&D TechnologiesDavid Blake
Bersin by Deloitte research suggests that the single biggest driver of business impact tends to be the strength of an organization’s learning culture. But most of today’s workers are increasingly overwhelmed, distracted and impatient. They’re also now empowered to direct more and more of their development, often using outside resources. As a result, building a culture of continuous, everyday learning is a growing challenge for many L&D teams. New tools and emerging technologies can help, but building and sustaining an effective learning culture also demands that L&D professionals embrace new ways of thinking and working.
In this presentation you will learn:
-What learners can teach L&D professionals about learning
-What types of technologies can enable continuous learning
-How Xerox Services University is leveraging a culture of continuous experimentation to build a habit of everyday learning

• Why should I care about gamification?
• What does gamification have to do with instructional design and training delivery?
• How does gamification align to the ASTD Competency Model?
• How does this fit in with where learning and performance is trending?
• How can I get started?

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Strategic planning largely on extrapolation from the past
Risk intolerance
Process inflexibility

1. Digitization: Once you digitize a product or service (photography, finance, manufacturing, biology, etc...) into
ones and zeros, that product or service becomes an information-based technology and it hops on an
exponential growth curve. Something digitized can be replicated and transmitted for a near-zero marginal cost.
2. Deceptive Growth: During the early days of exponential growth, the doubling of small numbers seem
deceptively flat. Take for example the first Kodak Digital Camera that produced 0.01 Megapixel images. As it
grew from 0.01, to 0.02, 0.04, 0.08... they all seem like zero.
3. Disruptive Growth: What follows early deceptive growth is disruption. 30 doublings later something has grown
1 billion-fold. That first 0.01 megapixel Kodak camera is now generating a 10 megapixel image. The result of
which is the complete dematerialization and demonetization of film photography.
4. Dematerialization: Products and services are becoming bits. A clunky GPS on the dashboard of a car is
history, today its an APP on a smartphone. Think about all the 1980s or '90s technology that now comes free on
your cellphone: GPS, two-way video conferencing, HD video, HD photography, radio, books, records, maps,
weather and much more. Today’s smart phone comes with over a million dollars’ worth of technologies from the
1980s.
5. Demonetization: Once a product/service has become dematerialized into bits, its cost of replication and
transmission is near zero and ultimately leads to their eventual demonetization. As an example, digital
photography has totally demonetized the field.
6. Democratization: As products and services dematerialize and demonetize they become available to billions of
users across the planet. Today there are 3 billion people connected on planet Earth. By 2025 that will increase
to 8 billion connected individuals. Create a digital banking or insurance product and you have the opportunity to
market it across the globe.

1 Confirmation Bias: Searching for and interpreting information in a way that confirms
one’s preconceptions.
2 Negativity Bias: Giving far more weight to negative information and experiences than
positive ones. Originally developed as an evolutionary survival mechanism, valuing a
negative experience could some times save your life.
3 Anchoring: Relying heavily on one piece of information and ignoring all others.
4 The Bandwagon Effect: Doing or believing things because others do. Instead, do
something because you believe in it, because the data shows you it’s the right thing do,
and because you’re now capable of doing it.
5 Loss Aversion: Avoiding losses more than we seek gains, meaning we are fearful of
change and so we tend not to change, even though we’re living in a world where flipping
over to new technology can give us amazing advantage over other things.
Cognitive bias explains why our brains aren’t naturally wired to think exponentially
