10 questions for organisations in an inter connected worldCecil Dijoux
The document poses 10 questions for organizations in today's interconnected world: 1) Is applying traditional Fordist and Taylorist organizational methods still relevant? 2) Are these traditional techniques suitable given today's fast-paced global changes? 3) Should people be managed the same way when wealth comes from knowledge/innovation rather than production? The document argues that collaborative platforms can help organizations foster knowledge sharing, innovation, engagement and productivity in this new environment.
Quick and easy user research that doesn't break the design flow
How to smoothly and effectively include user insights in the design process?

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
AC/DC is an Australian hard rock band formed in 1970. The current members are Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Brian Johnson, Phil Rudd, and Cliff Williams. The band had two stages defined by their lead singers - the Bon Scott stage from 1970 until his death in 1980 from alcohol abuse, and the Brian Johnson stage beginning in 1980 which produced their best-selling album Back in Black that sold 42 million copies.
The document discusses the inhumane practice of continuously chaining dogs and its dangers. It provides evidence that chained dogs are more likely to bite, especially children, and accounts for a substantial proportion of dog bite fatalities. Chained dogs are more prone to aggression due to being unsocialized and unable to flee when feeling threatened. The document also describes the poor living conditions of many chained dogs including lack of shelter, food, water and medical care. It argues that chaining is inhumane and should be prevented through legislation.
Bridging research and design... to fuel innovation!Frederic Gaillard
1. The document discusses how research, design, and management must work together for successful innovation. It provides biographies of Frederic Gaillard and Mike Murphy who will discuss how to better integrate research and design.
2. Three key ideas are presented: research is critical for product design, sometimes research can be useless to designers, and research works best when embedded in the design process. Various research methods like market research, UX research and design research are examined.
3. The document argues that research must be integrated throughout the design process in order to bridge gaps and ensure research and design inform each other. UX methods like personas, user journeys and scenarios can provide narrative context useful for designers.

Britain is a nation of animal lovers who spend billions annually on pet care and will go to great lengths to ensure pets' welfare. However, the document questions how people would feel seeing dogs confined in small cages or the thousands of greyhounds killed for racing each year, urging readers to donate to help abused dogs and spread awareness of their mistreatment behind the scenes in the racing industry.
The document summarizes a group project done by three students to donate items and volunteer time to the Houston Area Women's Center, a nonprofit that provides support to victims of domestic and sexual violence. The group donated essential items like food, toiletries, and baby supplies. One member also volunteered two hours to assist with office work. The center relies on donations and volunteers to support women in need, and the group felt helping the organization was an important cause.
Mothers come in all colours. While motherhood is a universal experience, the challenges mothers face are shaped by their social and cultural backgrounds. Discrimination and lack of support for mothers of certain ethnicities and religions can negatively impact child development and family well-being.
This document discusses designing good mobile user experiences. It outlines that mobile experiences are different than desktop experiences due to limitations of mobile devices and contexts of mobile use. A good mobile experience focuses on interactions rather than tasks, is tailored to the mobile context, and is tested with users. Lessons from experience indicate that mobile design should pay attention to usage contexts, uniqueness of mobile, limited attention, and changing technologies through participatory design.
Nature of Social Software and how it transforms the businessCecil Dijoux
The document discusses how social software changes the way businesses operate by leveraging social tools to get work done. It defines social software as collaborative online tools like blogs, wikis, profiles, forums, and social bookmarking. These tools allow knowledge and information to flow between people, establishing online relationships and communities. Social software also brings simplicity, ubiquity, and adaptability that allows emergent and flexible behaviors. It argues that social software focuses on information rather than technology by capturing tacit knowledge and complementing structured data.
Enterprise 2.0 leverages collaborative platforms to foster knowledge, productivity, innovation and engagement within organizations. It utilizes emergent social software like wikis, blogs and profiles to capture both explicit and tacit knowledge, strengthen weak ties between employees, and foster collaboration, innovation and engagement. While implementation challenges remain, many large companies are seeing benefits from increased knowledge sharing, improved innovation processes, and higher employee engagement through the use of Enterprise 2.0 tools and practices.
Uma pessoa pede ajuda, afirmando que estão sendo assassinados no Canadá e na Noruega como um novo tipo de turismo esportivo. Eles imploram para parar com as "torturas" e "massacres", questionando se isso realmente pode ser considerado um esporte e se têm direito de fazer isso.

4. Nader bekeken: centralisatie
Centralisatie = gezag samenbrengen op 1
(centraal) punt voor de hele staat
Tegenovergestelde: decentralisatie (macht
bij lokale/regionale overheden)
5. Ruimtelijke gevolgen
Versterkte tegenstelling centrum-
periferie
Infrastructuur gefocust op
hoofdstad
Migratie naar centrum van de
macht
Gevolg: landen met een enkele
megastad, en verder alleen
kleine steden en dorpjes.
7. Voorbeelden
Dichtbij huis: nationaliseren spoorwegen,
rekenen met Amsterdamse tijd
Iets verder weg: Frankrijk -> alle
(spoor)wegen leiden naar Parijs
Nog verder weg: veel ontwikkelingslanden,
met name Afrika (stammenverleden +
koloniale tijd)
