Tech, Strategy, and other interesting things by Roberto Zoiaby Roberto Zoia
Matt Mullenweg in Gradually, then Suddenly:
(…) the illusion that the office was about work will be shattered forever, and companies that hold on to that legacy will be replaced by companies who embrace the antifragile nature of distributed organizations.
Ben Thompson writing about Aggregation Theory:
Aggregation Theory is a completely new way to understand business in the Internet age. Business schools suggest that with the right frameworks, an executive can understand how to manage all kinds of problems: what happens, though, when many of the inputs to those frameworks are zero? (…)
Zero distribution costs. Zero marginal costs. Zero transactions. This is what the Internet enables, and it is completely transforming not just technology companies but companies in every single industry.
Don’t let the limited idea of intelligence that permeates some schools define your child’s intelligence:
One of the deep problems in education, which should concern you as a parent, is the limited idea of intelligence that permeates school culture. Achievement in education is still largely based on a narrow conception of academic ability and the tendency to confuse that with intelligence in general. Academic ability involves particular sorts of verbal and mathematical reasoning, which is one reason why children in school spend so much time sitting down writing and calculating. Academic ability is important, but it’s not the whole of intelligence. If it were, human culture would be far less interesting.
— Ken Robinson, You, Your Child, and School, p. 61
If you decide that it’s important for you to stop complying and start creating, the first thing to do is change your framework, the worldview you bring to your work.
The framework changes what we see and changes what we tell ourselves is important. And the revolution is tearing your old framework down.
