“And one thing has become very clear to us about the M&A process – it’s outdated, inefficient, and unnecessarily combative, with too much time and energy spent negotiating deal terms and not enough on what matters most: building great products together and delivering more customer value.” https://www.atlassian.com/blog/technology/atlassian-term-sheet

Our new ecosystem platform
The technology for our new ecosystem platform features a collaborative, open-source knowledge repository. Natural language artificial Intelligence search algorithms identify, organize, and feature highly relevant content while also and rating and ranking the participating experts. Enterprise search tools powered by machine learning and conversational intelligence, gather unstructured data from across the web pulling out the relevant facts for the best business decisions. Meanwhile, consensus mechanisms rate and reward the best contributing experts.
Next Steps:
Identify a ‘brain trust” of like- minded individuals to hone the strategic vision and outline the initial process workflow of the platform. To accelerate our initial efforts, we are now recruiting a co-founding board of directors. In addition, we are seeking growth capital partners to further develop our technology platform, hire professional management, and create inbound marketing, publishing, and other organizational support services.

#WorkingOutLoud on Evaluation — Julian Stodd’s Learning Blog
I’m giving myself some open space to think about ‘Learning’ in the broadest sense: consider it some graffiti that i’m spraying over my existing knowledge. This is shared not as a coherent body of work, but rather the things that i am currently most interested in. Today, this concerns evaluation: the ways we measure what […]

The Learning Science Guidebook
All about the many ways of learning…
The main text for my next Social Age Guidebook is now complete, although i feel a fair amount of trepidation around releasing it: it explores Learning Science, with a broad approach to helping people to ‘explore their landscape of curiosity’, and to ‘curate their own discipline’. It’s a pragmatic line: if we can build our personal discipline through a solid understanding of evidence, research, and validity, but also pragmatic tools, then we should be able to move our practice forwards.
I have gone into this work with three objectives: firstly, to help build an understanding of what we actually mean by ‘learning science’ and broader scientific discipline, and what it can do for us (and explicitly, what it cannot do for us), secondly, to help people choose the areas they are most interested in, and thirdly, to explore (through a Learning Map)…

The Five Keys to Progress (Part 4): Decentralization of Power
This is what we’re all about!
This the fourth post in a series of posts about the Five Keys to Progress. If this is the first post that you have ever read on my blog, I would recommend starting with An Introduction to Progress: Mankind’s Greatest Accomplishment. Then I would recommend reading the first post of this series.
In the previous posts in this series, I argued that the concept of the Five Keys of Progress enables us to better under the history of how nations developed and what policies will work in promoting progress today.
The Five Keys to Progress are the fundamental preconditions that must be established for a society to experience progress. All are necessary, but none are sufficient by themselves. Each evolved slowly as individuals solved local problems and then copied what worked.
I also argued that to transition from poverty to progress, a society needs to acquire and maintain…

What You Choose to Focus On Will Grow — The Victor Negro
A quote says “where attention goes, energy flows”. The power of thought is implied here. What you focus on the most receives not only the energy of thought and imagination, but the power of feeling, and opportunity to become. Our thoughts create certain feelings in us.
