Training is anchored in the past. It cannot prepare for a disruptive future. ROI on training is easy to justify be because it should be able to prove greater efficiency. We need a different kind of learning to prepare us for disruption. Let's call it x-learning. How does x-learning differ from training? And how do your programs compare?
La persona expresa que no puede dejar de pensar en su pareja y en cómo llegó a su vida para hacerla feliz.

This document discusses strategies for driving organizational change. It begins by outlining common questions and challenges around change projects, including identifying allies, overcoming obstacles, and predicting outcomes. It then discusses how evolution has programmed half of populations to be resistant to change as a survival mechanism. The key to success is focusing efforts on the small percentage of early adopters, typically 13.5% of populations. Messages should frame changes in terms of risks of failure to drive urgency while also providing optimism that success is possible. Not all can be persuaded to support change, but alternatives can achieve compliance with change through other means.

The document discusses the brands that the author chooses to have in their life. They list Apple, Smartwool, Levi, Colgate, and Boars Head as brands they actively choose and have been using for years. They note that Apple's advertising was influential in their initial purchase of an iPod and continues to influence their purchases from Apple. The author believes the brands they have listed accurately reflect an average person in their demographic and would not give others an inaccurate impression if viewed.
Why can't organizations be designed as sexy as an iPad?Bertie Du Plessis
The document discusses the growing influence of design thinking in business. It provides examples of how designers approach problems differently than traditional business approaches by focusing on simplification, usability, and user experience. The document advocates applying design thinking principles to organizational structures and processes to better meet user needs.
This document contains notes from a discussion of antifragility and risk management. It discusses key concepts like fragility, robustness, resilience, and antifragility. It advocates repositioning assets to benefit from stress and volatility rather than just survive it. Heuristics are preferable to calculations for unpredictable "black swan" events. The world is divided into Mediocristan, where probabilities are known, and Extremistan, where black swans reside. Managing risk requires optionality, dividing assets between safe and risky investments, and making risk creators bear the consequences. True heroes are entrepreneurs who failed, not "fragilistas" who avoid risk. The only commandment is to not be a sucker
This document discusses using extreme value theory (EVT) to model policyholder behavior in extreme market conditions using variable annuity lapse data. EVT allows predicting behavior in the extremes based on nonextreme data. The paper applies EVT by fitting bivariate distributions to lapse and market indicator data above a large threshold. This provides insights into policyholder behavior in extreme markets without direct observations. The goal is a dynamic lapse formula capturing different characteristics than traditional methods.

Este documento describe la candidiasis, una infección causada por levaduras del género Candida. Explica que Candida albicans es la especie más común, aunque existen otras como C. tropicalis y C. glabrata. Describe los factores de riesgo, manifestaciones clínicas en la piel, mucosas y uñas, y tratamientos tópicos y sistémicos como nistatina, miconazol, ketoconazol y anfotericina B.
The document discusses Grice's Cooperative Principle, which states that communication involves cooperation between participants to establish meaning. It consists of four maxims: quality, quantity, relation, and manner. Conversational implicatures refer to implied meanings derived through inference rather than what is literally stated. Speakers can implicate additional meanings by observing or flouting the maxims, such as providing less information than required to imply uncertainty. The document provides examples of how speakers can flout different maxims to convey extra meanings.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
