The document discusses a variety of sociological topics including gender roles, education, health issues, voting patterns, immigration, race, and lifestyle factors. Specifically, it poses questions about why certain trends exist related to the dressing of baby boys, high school dropout rates, abortion rates, sexual health practices, voter turnout, job markets, incarceration rates, college involvement, eating disorders, childhood obesity, smoking behaviors, and differences between urban and rural communities. The questions aim to understand the social, economic, and media influences underlying many societal issues.
This document discusses CSC's approach to scaling Agile practices across their organization. They implemented an Agile Delivery Methodology (AgDM) and Adaptive Delivery Methodology (AdDM), initially with one team in 2006 and expanding to involve more teams and departments over time. Key aspects of their approach include adopting Scrum, continuous integration/delivery practices, strong metrics, collaboration tools, and emphasis on technical health/debt. Challenges in scaling included managing distributed teams and dependencies, which they addressed through light coordination structures while maintaining team autonomy. The case study demonstrates their program management approach with workgroups, transparent backlogs and dependencies.
This document from Intellsolar discusses using solar power to provide energy management for telecom needs and increase profits. It describes how solar power can be used to power base transceiver stations, batteries, and air conditioners, saving up to 80% on diesel costs and increasing profits by 80%. Diagrams show how Intellsolar's solar power system works to provide thermal energy from the sun to power air conditioning units for telecom equipment shelters through a process of heat absorption and vapor generation.
The document summarizes the Powerful Learning Practice (PLP) project at an independent school. Through PLP, the school connected with other schools globally to establish an ongoing learning community. They developed a digital citizenship curriculum for 7th grade students using online and face-to-face learning. The project achieved embedding digital citizenship into the curriculum using various Web 2.0 tools and standards. Participants learned how to better engage students and inform teachers about 21st century learning approaches.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Organizational knowledge creation approaches used by Japanese companies can be applied globally with some adjustments. Case studies of global projects by Nissan and Shin Caterpillar Mitsubishi showed that socialization and externalization phases need to be prolonged to overcome cultural barriers to knowledge sharing. Strong leadership commitment, assigning middle managers as knowledge engineers, developing trust, and standardization help enable successful organizational knowledge creation in global contexts.

Introduction to Strategy Maps - A Book by Robert S Kaplan and David P NortonEndro Catur
The strategy map is a tool that visually depicts the causal relationships between intangible assets, internal processes, and outcomes in a way that clearly communicates an organization's strategy. It aims to link strategic objectives and measures across four perspectives - learning and growth, internal processes, customer, and financial - and help ensure strategy execution by aligning intangible assets like human capital, information systems, and organizational culture to the strategic themes. The case studies demonstrate how strategy maps can be effective but also must be adapted over time as strategies evolve to continue reflecting organizational reality.
