Make Education Worth the Time

Mash up the University Experience with TEDx

If you are a TED fan then you have to also be fanatical about TEDx events. I find it amazing how many events there are globally and wonder if I can plan a vacation or year sabbatical attending TEDx events, writing, filming, blogging and creating the ultimate learning resource? Think of it as the resources [...]

Get on With Things Part Two

10,000 Women is a five-year investment by Goldman Sachs to provide 10,000 undeserved women around the world with a business and management education. What does it take to change a community? What does it take to change a person? As it turns out little more than giving that person, who wants to change, the opportunity [...]

In Search of the ideal work space.

Where do you work best? Home? Coffee Shop? Library? Car? How do you make the best of the imperfect work environment? I have come to realize, after 11 years of work in a University environment,  that we spend too little time think about our personal work space. University offices are generally identical, desk, cabinet, drawers, [...]

Just good thinking.

The best ideas are born of necessity! Think about the telegraph and later radio. Our problem today is that there is too much noise, preventing us from hearing ourselves when it comes to needs. Our other problem is that we don’t for a second believe that we can actually make a difference or create or [...]

The Idea Seed! To Idea farm!

There is no question that today ideas are a very important commodity, yet there has been little done to tap into the huge number of ideas out there. One of the problems of course is people/investors don’t know where to find the ideas. Another problem is that people with ideas don’t know where to find [...]

Idea Space… DIY!

I love the idea of Idea Paint. The 1st thing I love is the site. When you go watch the upload counter and stop it to see the words! 00=limitations or zero limitations, very cool! The second thing I like is the institutionalized idea of breaking the rules and thinking out loud all over the [...]

Does a University need a Chief Experience Officer?

I spend a lot of time reading business publications and blogs. If you put in a day digesting Seth Godin, Tom Peters, ChangeThis and then throw in IDEO, Diego Rodriguez and for good measure Mark Hurst you not only have a very sound reading list on business, creativity and leadership but also a question on your [...]

To be young and foolish!

I often ask myself if it was a perfect world how would I build a team to actually make change happen! And I keep coming back to the idea of being young and foolish! The people who we charge with making change, on the whole, are old, tired, jaded and pretty much worn out as [...]

Content is king!

Last night on Nightline I had a great conversation about content syndication! I am not talking RSS but how you can get content that is market ready into the market! Imagine that academic paper that can be reformatted and become a valuable business piece. How does this effect you? Are you a person who writes? [...]

Pick up the phone!

I think, just maybe, with all our text, tweets, SMS, MMS, facebook, Qik, blogs… we have forgotten how nice it is to just pick up a phone and tell someone something, anything! I think, just maybe, we are hiding behind technology when it comes to communication today! The old voice on the phone can be [...]
