Winston Churchill

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat

Bilingual document (US, FR)

11

Editorial
The famous phrase blood, toil, tears and sweat was first uttered in 1849 by Giuseppe Garibaldi when rallying his revolutionary forces in Rome. Theodore Roosevelt also uttered the phrase in 1897, following his appointment as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. However, this phrase became well known after Churchills first speech to the House after taking over as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the first year of World War II. Well probably hear often things like this in the coming months. La clbre expression du sang, de la sueur et des larmes a t prononce en 1849 par Giuseppe Garibaldi lorsquil a rassembl ses forces rvolutionnaires Rome. Thodore Roosevelt la galement prononce en 1897, suite sa nomination comme secrtaire adjoint de la Marine. Cependant, elle est devenue mondialement clbre aprs le premier discours de Churchill en tant que Premier ministre du Royaume-Uni durant la premire anne de la seconde guerre mondiale. Nous devrions lentendre souvent dans les mois venir.

Majors trends in the globalized world

Why Iceland should be in the news, but is not
SACSIS, Deena Stryker, August 15, 2011

As almost every european country is facing major financial risks, the small northern country, Iceland, should become an example. The financial crisis roughly hit a country that presented a strong growth since many years. While the debt sky rocketed, the Kroner lost 85% of its value with respect to the Euro. But this crisis resulted in Icelanders recovering their sovereign rights. This article (August 2011) explains why european citizens should look to Iceland, an example of how and why to refuse to bow to foreign interests might reinforce sovereignty.

gostes, paresseux, intolrants, cest en ces termes que sont qualifis les jeunes par un panel de Franais lors dun sondage ralis pour Le Monde. Manque de confiance et incomprhension envers sa jeunesse ? Signes dune socit vieillissante ? Quoiquil en soit, lauteur de larticle se lance dans un plaidoyer concis mais efficace pour la tolrance et laltruisme intergnrationnel. Un rsum pertinent du ressenti de nombreux jeunes en France.

Is coworking the new incubator ?

Deskmag, Dave Bunnell & Jeannine van der Linden, November 14, 2011

How to make money when economy is failing

The Daily Beast, Rob Baedeker, November 21, 2011

Paraphrasing Wikipedia, co-working could be defined as a style of work which involves independent professionals sharing a work environment; usually in a coworking space. Nowadays, it is not uncommon for co-workers to communicate and collaborate everyday with others in coworking spaces, online, world widely. This article wonders if coworking is the new incubator.

Corporate social and environmental responsability

Consumers expect CEOs to be held accountable and take action on CSR

Citizen Polity, James Epstein-Reeves, November 7, 2011

With the crisis, the purchasing power of every citizen is tumbling. And a fascinating point is that strangers are willing to pay their neighbour to rent their belongings, in order to save a few pennies. The fact that anyone can make money from stuff not used anymore is an incredible discovery. This article give details about this increasing trends: collaborative consumption.

An important study revealed that American consumers expect firms to do well financially while being responsible on how they act. 83% agree that enterprises should accomplish their business targets while trying to improve society and the environment. This article asserts that the manner in which firms make profit becomes more important than the profit in itself.

La France la trane sur le tltravail
20 Minutes, 15 novembre 2011

The sustainability movement: five trends on this side of the Atlantic

The Guardian, Peter Madden, November 9, 2011

While hit by the debt crisis, the EU remains a major market maker in environmental standards and regulation. This article gives the few themes the author used in its last San Franciscos presentation on the latest trends for business sustainability in Europe: a root and branch questioning of capitalism, changing consumers through brands, how to integrate thinking on biodiversity into their sustainability strategies and the emphasis as on overlaying digital intelligence on existing infrastructure.

Frdric Lefebvre, le secrtaire dEtat charg des PME, a annonc lors dune confrence Bercy, que le tltravail ne concernait que 9% des salaris franais contre 18% des europens. Son dveloppement semblant tre une volont gouvernementale, une srie de mesures a t annonce dont un plan daction comportant trois grands axes : une simplification du cadre juridique du tltravail, une facilitation du recours au tltravail et une meilleure information des salaris et des entreprises sur le sujet.

Study finds sustainable companies significantly outperform financially

ROWE: the grown-up version of work

Brazen, Kelly Gurnett, November 3, 2011

Business Ethics, Michael Connor, November 14, 2011

Probably, the way we work is not the best one. Thats the premise behind the Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE) initiative. The authors of the study believe the modern workplace is cluttered with regulations, expectations and wrong practices that have nothing to do with the actual work were supposed to be doing. This article details the benefits of focusing on employees results only: workers are more efficient, disruptions disappear, employees get their lives back, adults are treated like adults, the wheat is cut from the chaff and employers win, too.

When companies embody a sustainable business image, CEOs are more likely to be aware of their impact in term of sustainability; whereas traditional firms with compensation based on short-term metrics push managers towards decisions that forget the long-term value creation. This article reveals the results of a study led by the Harvard Business School and the London Business School: companies with a high sustainable business culture significantly outperform their counterparts over the long-term, both in terms of stock market and accounting performance.

Presenteeism a growing trend in UK businesses

CMI, Tim Chambers, November 17, 2011

Management in the future world of work

Scientists prove telecommuting is awesome

GigaOM, Jessica Stillman, November 14, 2011

Researchers of Stanford set out a study in order to compare telecommuters with office-based employees. This article gives the results of the study. And they are astonishing

Uncertainty surrounding job security is leading to workers spending more time in the office to appear valuable to their managers. According to a study, 41% of workers feel pressure visible in the office. More than 25% think the interpretation of their performance is based on how much time they spend in the office rather than their outputs. This short article explains the importance to encourage flexible working.

Separating you and me? 4.74 degrees
New York Times, John Markoff & Somini Sengupta, November 21, 2011

The connected company

Slideshare, Dachis Group, November 2011

Social business, first described by Muhammad Yunus, can be assimilated to a non-dividend, non-loss company designed to address a social objective within the highly regulated marketplace of today. Here is a presentation from Dave Gray, founder of XPLANE and SVP Strategy at Dachis Group, on the future of social business.

Enterprise 2.0 and mobile enterprise

10 components of collaborative intelligence

CMS Wire, David Coleman, November 21, 2011

A conventional wisdom would assert that the explanation of the smaller gap between you and me are summed up in social media: Facebook friends are bound to bring us closer together. This article shows that the average number of acquaintances that separate two people is smaller than believed: 4.74 not 6.

We all know about Intelligence Quotient and Emotional Intelligence, but very few deals with Collaborative Intelligence. The thing that makes someone a fine collaborator is frequently their frame of mind, coupled with precise knowledge and tools. Realize that tools are enablers, they cant make group work together, they can just facilitate the relations.

Kinect : La rvolution en marche

Docs News, 8 novembre 2011

How social technologies are extending the organization

Saviez-vous que la Kinect possde le titre de lobjet lectronique le plus rapidement vendu de tous les temps ? Huit millions dexemplaires pour le premier mois de vente. Dailleurs, savez-vous ce quest la Kinect ?

McKinsey Quarterly, Jacques Bughin, Angela Hung Byers & Michael Chui , November 17, 2011

When social technologies are used as an emerging type of networked firm and incorporated into the way employees work, they can amplify financial performance and market share of the firm. This survey on the way firms use social tools and technologies reveals that they keep on seeping into many enterprises, changing business processes and increasing performance.

25 worst passwords of 2011

Mashable, Zoe Fox, November 18, 2011

Choosing password as a password is a nice idea if youre hoping to be an easy target for hackers! This article gives the list of the worst password everyone can choose: sequences of adjacent numbers or letters, popular names

Cest un priphrique quip de camras et de micros qui permet de jouer la console Xbox sans manette grce ses capacits de reconnaissance vocale et de dtection de mouvements. Si Microsoft pensait, en lanant Kinect il y a un an, rvolutionner le monde du jeu vido, il semble quil ait initi un mouvement qui lui a chapp et qui va bien plus loin que le simple divertissement de salon. En effet, de nombreux dveloppeurs se sont empars de cet objet qui offre une excellente technologie pour un prix bas et ont fait de belles avances technologiques, parfois avec des applications inattendues. Ainsi, certains lutilisent pour piloter des robots, dautres pour faire de lessayage vestimentaire, dautres pour faire de la rducation pour les victimes dattaques crbrales. La dmocratisation de la dmatrialisation de linteraction nous fait entrer de faon fulgurante dans une nouvelle re des interfaces hommes-machines.

La mauvaise e-rputation
OWNI, Sylvain Lauthier, 10 Novembre 2011

2012 sera lanne du Big Data

Silicon.fr, Yves Grandmontagne, 24 novembre 2011

Droits: Domaine Public Source: Wikipdia

Immergeons-nous quelques instants dans des chiffres impressionnants: 9,57 Zettaoctects (10 puissance 21 doctets) dinformations ont t consommes sur le web en 2008 alors que le nombre dabonns Internet en 2010 dans le monde a t multipli par 7 depuis 2000. Il y a aujourdhui 2 milliards dabonns qui squipent galement de tlphones mobiles connects. Selon Ericsson, en 2015, 80% des connexions se feront via le mobile. On attend ainsi pas moins de 3,4 milliards dabonns 3G en 2015 alors quils ntaient encore que 500 millions en 2010. Au sein des organisations, cela se traduit par de plus en plus de donnes stocker, ce qui nest ni simple, ni gratuit. La problmatique nest pas seulement conomique, mais galement technologique : lentreprise dispose-t-elle des moyens ncessaires pour squiper et pour administrer ses donnes et surtout pour les analyser ? Pour Matt Oostveen, directeur de recherche chez IDC Australie, la rponse est dans le Big Data.

Voici un article rafrachissant qui remet en cause de nombreuses ides reues et relativise lapproche de le-rputation gnralement faites par les articles traitant du sujet. De lobsession narcissique au mythe du candidat lembauche conduit en passant par la redfinition de la vie prive, pouvons-nous prtendre linsouciance numrique ?

Personal development and learning

The way we teach math, sciences, and languages is wrong

Freakonomics, Sanjoy Mahajan, November 2, 2011

Brand and personal online reputation and influence

Le personal branding ou le tout lego ?

Ma vie pro, Dom Bochel, 16 novembre 2011

Why the way we teach many subjects, especially science and languages, is so unsuccessful? How could we improve it? Despite lot of hours spent in school, almost each student remains with a poor level in specific lessons, particularly science and languages. Rather than starting the course with motion in a straight line at constant speed, the author of the article estimates that we could explain physics concepts by estimating the gas mileage of a 747 by dropping coffee filters - thereby giving the concepts depth and meaning.

Voici un billet qui dnonce certaines drives du personal branding. Drives qui, comme le souligne Olivier Zara dans les commentaires, sont de deux ordres: - ceux qui sautoproclament experts sans la lgitimit ni les qualits ncessaires; - ceux qui utilisent la mthode et les outils pour essayer dlaborer leur glorification personnelle. Si Olivier Zara partage lanalyse de lauteur de larticle, il ne manque pas de prciser que ces drives restent malgr tout les exceptions et non la rgle.

Not only curation but also moderation and didactics

Challenge to learn, Kasper Spiro, November 15, 2011

Will e-learning become obsolete? Probably not. Curation filters news and helps you to deal with information overload. Too much information and no learning experience should be fought with curation, but also moderation and didactics. This article explains why the role of e-learning, and the one of its developers might become more important in the short term.
