    Blog post by Etienne and Beverly Wenger-Trayner on leadership groups within communities as act of service to lead group process. September 14, 2012 Need to do something like this in setting up Studio leadership roles that could be period specific, event specific, etc. See excerpt: The practice goes like this: everyone at a meeting belongs to a leadership group - and each group stewards one part of the learning process of the whole group. In this way leadership of the community meeting is distributed over the entire event. Leadership here is seen as an act of service, that is, not leadership in terms of telling others what to do, but helping the group develop itself as a learning partnership. We've seen these groups lead to some transformational turn-arounds in group dynamics and the learning potential. (Notwithstanding the times they flopped - which led us to learn a great deal!) We gave playful names to the groups in the spirit of making it a fun and inventive way of leading the process: agenda activists, community keepers, critical friends, social reporters, external messengers, value detectives. Over the years we've come to see that these groups can work well in lots of different contexts including group meetings, conferences, and long-term community development. Anywhere, that is, where there is an intention for collective learning.

  • Two professors, computer scientist George Mohler and anthropologist Jeffrey Brantingham, who specializes in crime scenarios, were instrumental in developing the predictive method of fighting crime. Their program is based on models for predicting the aftershocks of earthquakes.
  • The two data experts, Mohler and Brantingham, have since started a company and are marketing their product, Predictive Policing, worldwide
  • "Security is one of the biggest growth areas for Big Data applications," says Schröder. In addition to crime and terrorism, Splunk focuses on the growing number of attacks in, and by means of, the Internet and its software can detect hacker attacks or other cyber attacks. "We are positioning ourselves for an expanding cyber war," Schröder says. But the data hunters' new war also has many civilian aspects.

  • researchers found that reviewers are easily manipulated by “social influence bias,” a feedback loop in which positive reviews beget more positive reviews
  • The Italian newspaper Italia a Tavola recently proved how necessary that enhanced insight is. Staffers scammed the ratings system by creating a profile for a fake restaurant in Moniga del Garda then posting 10 glowing ratings (under different usernames) over the course of a month, Jezebel reported. Within weeks, La Scaletta had the highest TripAdvisor ratings in town—despite the fact that it didn’t exist.
  • Why were people so quick to take the reviews at face value? “Stories that come from other people [are viewed as] much more believable than information from companies, because our working assumption is that [individuals] don't have an ulterior motive,” says Sarah G. Moore, assistant professor of marketing at the University of Alberta. Additionally, given a lack of identifying information, we

It also helps to shift your screen so you don’t have glaring outside light emanating from your little virtual corner of the room.

  • From that sample, the researchers found online students lagging behind face-to-face students in three critical areas: Completing courses (regardless of grade). Completing courses with passing grades. Completing courses with grades of A or B.
  • "Our results also have implications for student support in online classes," they write. "Faculty members teaching online should be aware of the performance penalty associated with taking courses online and consider implementing course policies and practices that would allow them to detect student disengagement in the absence of the physical cues that FtF [face-to-face] instructors can rely on. Students should be made aware that success rates are systematically lower in online than in FtF sections so that they can make informed enrollment decisions, and should be introduced to study strategies and time management strategies that promote success in online formats."

  • the fear that the ways we work now are harming and/or killing us.
  • The damage that can be done by workplaces like Amazon’s is much more insidious, and difficult to detect — and when people die, their obituary says things like heart disease or stroke or suicide.
  • In many cases, we are drawn to behavior that is bad for us, and that arguably applies to the workplace as well. In a piece he wrote for Medium recently, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz talks about the early days of the company and how he slept little and ate badly, and was hyper-competitive with co-workers. Was this worth it because of what they accomplished? Not at all, he says.

  • Can we somehow have all the productivity and efficiency gains that we think come along with this kind of workplace lifestyle, but at less personal cost? Moskovitz thinks we can, provided we start looking at the real costs of our work — that is, the long-term impact on employees and their ability to contribute meaningfully — rather than just doing the math on short-term metrics like revenue per man-hour, etc.
