Ce que je trouve intéressant dans le mouvement agile est le fait de sortir de la vision étroite et traditionnelle de l'économie, qui vise à "faire de l'argent", pour aller dans une direction plus humanisante: donner du sens au travail de l'humain. Many of us yearn for simple principles to guide our work and life in a complex world. At the heart of this conundrum is an understanding of the relationship between the personal and the systemic. If some of us have an intuitive feel for the relationship between the two, we often find it hard to explain it to others. The urgency of our organisational, societal and planetary challenges requires us to bridge this divide.

Structural diversity in social contagion
The concept of contagion has steadily expanded from its original grounding in epidemic disease to describe a vast array of processes that spread across networks, notably social phenomena such as fads, political opinions, the adoption of new technologies, and financial decisions. (...) We find that the probability of contagion is tightly controlled by the number of connected components in an individual's contact neighborhood, rather than by the actual size of the neighborhood. Surprisingly, once this “structural diversity” is controlled for, the size of the contact neighborhood is in fact generally a negative predictor of contagion. More broadly, our analysis shows how data at the size and resolution of the Facebook network make possible the identification of subtle structural signals that go undetected at smaller scales yet hold pivotal predictive roles for the outcomes of social processes.

Two fine authors, Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett, have written recent books, The God Delusion and Breaking the Spell arguing against religion. Their views are based on contemporary science. But the largest convictions of contemporary science remain based on reductionism. I would like to begin a discussion about the first glimmerings of a new scientific world view — beyond reductionism to emergence and radical creativity in the biosphere and human world. This emerging view finds a natural scientific place for value and ethics, and places us as co-creators of the enormous web of emerging complexity that is the evolving biosphere and human economics and culture. In this scientific world view, we can ask: Is it more astonishing that a God created all that exists in six days, or that the natural processes of the creative universe have yielded galaxies, chemistry, life, agency, meaning, value, consciousness, culture without a Creator. In my mind and heart, the overwhelming answer is that the truth as best we know it, that all arose with no Creator agent, all on its wondrous own, is so awesome and stunning that it is God enough for me and I hope much of humankind.

I found a great TOP 10 article that hits on us Agile PM’s as well as other PM trends foreseen for 2012 on ESI International’s PMO Blog. I am seeing all of this happen at my F100 clients, some moreso than others. The “Mixing of Agile with Traditional methods” is very very big in their quest to deliver value – especially for projects outside the software development area. Enjoy ! Maybe I’m taking on more than I can chew here but I’m going to attempt it. I apologise if it does not work for you, or you simply just give up on this but I am going to try to explain innovatio... 
Si nous prenons la nature comme professeur, nous sommes amenés à penser en termes de systèmes, les patterns fondamentaux dans le monde vivant. Les systèmes peuvent être incroyablement complexes, mais le concept est plutôt simple.
Leçon 1: Pour promouvoir les changements systémiques, suscitez l'engagement de la communauté et cultivez les réseaux. Leçon 2: Travaillez à plusieurs niveaux différents Leçon 3: Faites place à l'auto-organisation Leçon 4: Saisissez les occasions lorsqu'elles se présentent Leçon 5: Favorisez le changement, mais renoncez à l'illusion que vous pouvez le contrôler Leçon 6: Dites-vous que le changement prend du temps Leçon 7: Préparez-vous à être étonnés Via Coach HEC - Philippe Olivier Clement, PCSol SA

The intersection of visualization and networks science is important to infotention, too. -- Howard
"Data visualization is a running theme of visual literacy here, and Manuel Lima has been one of its biggest advocates since 2005 when, shortly after graduating from the Parson School of Design, he launched VisualComplexity — an ambitious portal for the visualization of complex networks across a multitude of disciplines, from biology to history to the social web. This month marks the highly anticipated release of Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information — a rigorously researched, beautifully designed, thoughtfully curated anthology of the world’s most compelling work at the intersection of these two relatively nascent yet increasingly powerful techno-cultural phenomena, network science and information visualization."

Pourquoi parler de bienveillance plutôt que de gentillesse?
Gentil, c’est à peu près le plus beau compliment que l’on puisse entendre dans une bouche infantile. Quand on arrive dans le monde des adultes, la gentillesse est souvent interprétée comme "docile", "soumis", "facile à manoeuvrer".
La bienveillance explore un espace d’adultes. Elle relève d’une question de performance de la relation et de capacité à passer l’obstacle de la divergence et du désaccord: savoir orienter son esprit vers ce qui est bien –en moi, en l’autre, dans les circonstances– pour y prendre appui plutôt que de se laisser fasciner par ce qui peut faire mal Via Coach HEC - Philippe Olivier Clement 
f you've never delved into the field of leadership studies as a businessperson or college student, you really should. There are dozens of fascinating theories from the field that can help you become a better leader or at the very ... Before you can be Disruptive, you must embrace a Disruptive mindset. This is one of those things that takes concerted effort and time. It also is not a widespread trait in general society. Yet even the most iconoclast of us can think in this manner if we truly want to.
