Podcast appearances and mentions of John Seely Brown

This episode's topics:  Is AI cheating? What is the impact on intellectual property? Learner assessment? Heck, even job replacement? These questions are both philosophical and pragmatic. What about the value of critical thinking... and does AI take that application away? We explore ways to use AI more effectively... but recognize we cannot even fathom some of the consequences, yet. In the spirit of Christmas and Santa Claus, is it ok to ever lie to your learners? What is the value of the "white lie?" What is fiction in the context of learning? Is it a lie? How do we use or adapt case studies? We discuss the more nuanced, ethical questions related to the truth in the context of learning.

Learn how to see your way forward to your best future!  I met Alain Guillot when he interviewed me for his podcast and I was totally intrigued by his story. As an anthropologist who studied immigrants who relocated from Greece to New York, I remain endlessly fascinated by the ability of people to completely change their lives to thrive in a foreign environment. Alain and I spoke at length about what he himself did to thrive, and how he eventually became a full-time blogger and podcaster. But it was never easy or completely evident that his calling was to become a story merchant, as he calls himself. Listen in and be moved! Watch and listen to our conversation here "We all have the tools to achieve greatness, all we need is more self-confidence." -Alain Guillot Alain immigrated to Canada from a poor country in South America. As he tells it, he had to work as a janitor, a busboy and a food server to afford school. His first job as an insurance salesperson was short-lived (he was never much of a salesperson) and after that, he became a dance school owner, a day trader, an Airbnb host, an Uber driver, a photographer, and now a blogger and podcaster.  On his podcast, Alain interviews experts, authors and speakers in the personal finance and personal development arena. As he tells it: “I want to extract the techniques of successful people and share those techniques with you.” During our On The Brink podcast, we spent our time together talking about his life journey and wondering how it might help you realize how to get off the brink and find a way to “soar” yourself. John Seely Brown famously said, “The way forward is all around you, if only you can see it.” Can you see your way forward?

"The Person and the Situation: Perspectives of Social Psychology" by Lee Ross and Richard Nisbett (2011) (http://bit.ly/2XSlkvP) "An interpretation of the false consensus effect in terms of construal, it should be reemphasized, requires more than the simple assumption that different people construe a given situation in different ways. It depends on the additional assumption that in doing so they fail to recognize or fail to make adequate inferential allowance for the fact that their peers may construe the 'same' situation quite differently. The contention here is that people fail to recognize the degree to which their interpretations of the situation are just that -- constructions and inferences rather than faithful reflections of some objective and invariant reality" (p. 85).

Terri Herbert is a design researcher and experienced research manager at Asana. She's fascinated by the complexity of the world of work and interested in researching and modeling complex systems involving people and technology. We talk about doing good design research, ways to ensure design research outputs are used effectively, and how a design researcher supports a team throughout the design process. Show Host: Dawan Stanford  Show Summary Terri’s journey into design research began in the business world of marketing and communications strategy, where she often worked with survey results and collected data. It was there she first came into contact with the concept of user experience and began to use some design thinking ideas in the iterative process of finding solutions. This led her into UX design and she went back to university for a Master’s degree in human-computer interaction. During this time, she discovered her love of research and modeling systems, which has been a part of her work ever since. At Asana, Terri’s focus is on understanding how people work together as a team, and on providing ways for teams to work better together. As part of this, she studies team dynamics and team behavior, and looks at individual team member’s skills and abilities. She uses what she learns to motivate team behaviors that foster and maintain a high-functioning work environment. We’ll hear more about design research and how Terri uses it to discover insights about how we work, and how she and her team strive to make their research accessible and easy to understand for those who need its insights, and the importance of seeing research itself as dynamic and never-ending. Listen in to learn more about: What design research is How team dynamics affects a team’s ability to perform and succeed Tools Terri uses to help people connect with and understand her research Ways design and design research are changing as a result of the current health crisis The importance of revisiting and refreshing design research as conditions evolve and change Our Guest’s Bio Terri is a design researcher and systems thinker fascinated by the complexity of the world of work. At Asana, a leading work management platform for teams, she heads up research focused on helping teams adopt better work practices.

Learn how to go where the competition isn't! For over a decade, Michael Olenick and I have worked together on Blue Ocean Strategy. Now, Michael is going to lead our Europe and the Middle East division. We have been getting a growing number of inquiries from all over the globe for Blue Ocean Strategy work, and Michael has been helping us guide these companies. It is now time for us to team up together and see how to help businesses everywhere discover the great value of seeing things through a Blue Ocean lens. We are thrilled to welcome Michael to our team here at SAMC, and to share with you our recent conversation. If you want to really understand how to grow and prosper, take a listen. If you have not had the opportunity, listen to our On The Brink podcasts on Blue Ocean thinking and the process to do it. You'll learn how to "see" the amazing possibilities that might be all around you that can transform your business. In this podcast, we wanted Michael to introduce you to his own perspective on Blue Ocean Strategy and the work he has done over almost 20 years. We talk about his work with Nintendo, and what that taught him about how its competitors, Microsoft and Sony, were focused on the young 8-year-old boy while Nintendo created a completely new market by thinking about everyone else. It's not about more, cheaper As Michael works with clients and publishes case studies about Blue Ocean Strategy success stories, he, and I, become increasingly convinced that more of the same, cheaper, is a strategy for failure. It was what others have preached forever. I talk about this in depth in an article I wrote for Forbes, "Does Your Business Need A Boost?," which you can read here. Clearly, in today’s fast-changing, tech-driven world, people and their organizations are going to have to think about what could be, not what is already. Markets and the companies trying to serve them need value innovation, not value incrementalism. A little bit better product or service keeps you stuck in a red ocean with a lot of others trying to do the same thing. So, as we Blue Ocean experts preach, stop going to your own trade shows. Go to different ones. Go exploring. Figure out unmet needs and nonusers who could use you. Then go get them. They might even be coming to you. Stop saying “We don’t do that.” Instead, try and figure out how you can do it. “The future is all around you, if only you can see it,” as John Seely Brown tells us. Meet Michael Olenick An Executive Fellow at the INSEAD Blue Ocean Strategy Institute in Fontainebleau, France, Dr. Michael Olenick has worked closely with Blue Ocean Strategy co-founders W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne since 2001, before their groundbreaking book, “Blue Ocean Strategy” (which has sold 4 million copies to date), was published 2005. Back then, their novel approach to business growth consisted of a series of articles in Harvard Business Review. Michael learned about Blue Ocean Strategy (then called Value Innovation) as a product developer at Avery Dennison, brought it to GE, and has used it at countless companies ever since. Today, Michael advises, consults, researches and teaches Blue Ocean Strategy throughout the world and has implemented its business strategy for companies ranging from startups to Fortune 100s. He works with senior executives from a wide array of companies and organizations to develop and/or study strategy, focusing particularly on technology, disruption, non-disruption and the differences and similarities between B2B and B2C businesses. Michael’s research has been cited in leading business publications, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and Bloomberg. In addition, the U.S. Congress and New York Federal Reserve have collaborated with him and relied on his research when making policy. Currently, Michael’s research is taught by leading business schools, including Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, the Wharton School, University of Chicago and many others. Multiple cases are bestsellers at Harvard Business Review/Harvard Business School Publishing, including: Driving the Future: How Autonomous Vehicles Will Change Industries and Strategy  Gaga for Wawa: Blue Ocean Retailing  The Marvel Way: Restoring a Blue Ocean A Blue Ocean Shift from Insolvency to Excellence in Higher Education: Turning around the Universidad Privada Boliviana–Reflection on My Journey to Blue Ocean  Nintendo Switch: Shifting from Market-Competing to Market–Creating Strategy An Innovation that has Changed the Lives of Women in India  News flash!

In the final DTM podcast Peter talks to Elisa Giaccardi, Professor of Interactive Media Design at IDE, about what design methods will look like in the future. They talk about how artificial intelligence and machine learning are changing the design process from something that is ‘user-centred’ into something much more dynamic. Elisa introduces the idea of how humans and computers can design together through ‘co-performance’. They also touch on the ethical issues involved when dealing with non-human intelligences.The interview is based on a book chapter by Elisa called ‘Technology and More than Human Design’ which explores how technology is impacting the design process. She mentions her PhD supervisor Roy Ascott, who has been a strong influence on many well-known designers and artists throughout the world. On page 6 of his book ‘Art, Technology, Consciousness’ he talks about the idea of ‘seeding’ that Elisa refers to. She also quotes from the much-cited social anthropologist Tim Ingold, who writes in his book ‘Correspondences’ about different modes of interaction between humans and non-humans. Ingold has published many interesting books touching on the cultural and contextual aspects of designing.In the discussion Mieke mentions the work of John Seely Brown, who was director of the world-famous Xerox Palo Alto Research Centre (PARC). In a video titled Sense-making in our Post AlphaGo World he explores the “rapidly changing, broadly connected and radically contingent world and the lenses needed to frame, or reframe, the challenges that technological advances have pushed forward”.Peter also mentions an idea called ‘negative capability’, the ability to embrace uncertainty and be comfortable in situations of ambiguity. The idea originally comes from the Romantic Poet John Keats! This short blog post provides more context and further links to explore the subject if you are interested.

Our world is made of information that competes for our attention. What is needed? What is not? We cannot interact with our everyday life in the same way we interact with a desktop computer. The terms calm computing and calm technology were coined in 1995 by PARC Researchers Mark Weiser and John Seely Brown in reaction to the increasing complexities that information technologies were creating. Calm technology describes a state of technological maturity where a user's primary task is not computing, but being human. The idea behind Calm Technology is to have smarter people, not things. Technology shouldn't require all of our attention, just some of it, and only when necessary. How can our devices take advantage of location, proximity and haptics to help improve our lives instead of get in the way? How can designers make apps “ambient” while respecting privacy and security? This talk will cover how to use principles of Calm Technology to design the next generation of connected devices. We'll look at notification styles, compressing information into other senses, and designing for the least amount of cognitive overhead.

Hi there, It has been a very interesting week since the release of the episode with Josh Quigley last Friday. Thanks to all that connected in directly, commented on the socials, provided feedback and nice words. Something like 30,000 views on LinkedIn alone so that’s great. For those that checked out the episode, thank you. It’s very clear that this is a topic that needs more discussion & exposure so I’ll be returning to it again in the next few with a couple of episodes that I’ve already recorded. More to come.To this week’s episode. We switch focus towards Management, Coaching, Leadership, Values. All subjects that my guest, Sarah Abbott, has extensive experience in. I worked with Sarah during her time leading HR for EMEA at EMC and Dell EMC. Last year she set up her own venture, The People Practice, with co-founder Susan Manning. Sarah is an Experienced HR Executive with a demonstrated history of working in the information technology and services industry. Skilled in HR Leadership, Executive Coaching, Group Dynamics, Leadership Development, Talent Management, Personnel Management, Employee Engagement, and Succession Planning. Strong internal consulting professional graduated from Tavistock Institute.We originally planned to chat for about 45 minutes but the examples and insights that Sarah shared were so very rich and full of good learning, that we just kept going.

Hi there, It has been a very interesting week since the release of the episode with Josh Quigley last Friday. Thanks to all that connected in directly, commented on the socials, provided feedback and nice words. Something like 30,000 views on LinkedIn alone so that’s great. For those that checked out the episode, thank you. It’s very clear that this is a topic that needs more discussion & exposure so I’ll be returning to it again in the next few with a couple of episodes that I’ve already recorded. More to come.To this week’s episode. We switch focus towards Management, Coaching, Leadership, Values. All subjects that my guest, Sarah Abbott, has extensive experience in. I worked with Sarah during her time leading HR for EMEA at EMC and Dell EMC. Last year she set up her own venture, The People Practice, with co-founder Susan Manning. Sarah is an Experienced HR Executive with a demonstrated history of working in the information technology and services industry. Skilled in HR Leadership, Executive Coaching, Group Dynamics, Leadership Development, Talent Management, Personnel Management, Employee Engagement, and Succession Planning. Strong internal consulting professional graduated from Tavistock Institute.We originally planned to chat for about 45 minutes but the examples and insights that Sarah shared were so very rich and full of good learning, that we just kept going. So, I’ve decided to break the conversation into two parts, with part two coming next week. In Today’s first part, some of the areas we cover include:•Early memories and formation of core values & principles •Growing up where Sarah’s mother helped instill a great self-belief •Sarah’s early career, experience and lesson learned •Ernst & Young experience giving Sarah her first role in HR •Being fearless, taking chances, and having ‘what’s the worst that can happen’ outlook as long as it’s not life or death! •Apple experience & learning from great leaders there in the late 1990s•Leadership development programs that focused on value based training with a focus on a self-awareness, EQ, and networking•Use of performance tools to show different sides of yourself •The value of having a learning log•Self-reflecting – make it part of your culture •4 Week challenges of self-reflecting with a journal •Developing the Art of Listening •Freedom from having a healthy conscience •Doing right by myself and do right by others•Putting yourself on the edge of disparate communities & of different things1% Better Nuggets Shared include:•Focusing on what the ‘real question is’•The difference between what I heard v what was said? •The secret sauce is in the white space•Deep dive into understanding the problem – before trying to solve – you will agree on the real question to be answered•Asking the right questions •Bringing a curiosity to the role•The Tim Cook influence – having the ability to ask Killer questions to the core of what you’re trying to! •Focusing on the core of what you’re trying to do!•Values based learning•Ask the question – if you did nothing what would happen?

For IoT companies, competition is fierce. But many might not be aware that they can redefine the nature of their competition using shaping strategies. The shaping strategy approach is designed for innovative IoT companies with aligned leadership who want to influence the direction of the entire industry. In our latest User Friendly podcast, we talk to Deloitte leaders John Hagel, managing director and co-chairman of the Deloitte LLP Center for the Edge, and John Seely Brown, the independent co-chairman of the Deloitte LLP Center for the Edge. As leaders in this category, they will discuss the ways that using well executed shaping strategies can enable participants to learn from and share risk with one another—creating a profitable future for all. Listen in to learn how to use shaping strategies for your organization.

Welcome to episode 22 of the EdTech Situation Room from September 14, 2016, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) had a special show. Rather than discuss a variety of recent technology news headlines, episode 22 focused exclusively on Dr. Nicholas Kardaras' August 31, 2016 article for TIME Magazine, "Screens In Schools Are a $60 Billion Hoax." The article highlights many of the key points in Kardaras' newly published book, "Glow Kids: How Screen Addiction is Hijacking Our Kids—and How to Break the Trance." Jason and Wes highlighted several of the valid points from the article regarding screentime, the powerful physiological influence of digital screens, and digital addictions. They also acknowledged misdirected educational technology movements, like the interactive whiteboard craze of the 2000's and the race for educational technology companies to move standardized student assessments onto digital screens. Jason and Wes took issue, however, with Kardaras' assertion that students in schools are better served with completely screen-free learning experiences. Referencing Neil Postman, John Seely Brown and other authors, they discussed how part of our obligation as educators it to prepare students to navigate the maze of digital distractions and information flows which characterize our modern age. Wes discussed the transformative benefits which digital technology can bring in differentiating reading experiences for students, and highlighted the example of his wife's 3rd and 4th grade classroom in Oklahoma City which serves homeless students and families. Shelly Fryer (@sfryer) has taught in a 1:1 iPad classroom for the past 3 years, and uses apps like News-O-Matic to provide developmentally appropriate reading articles for students. Her students also use their technology tools to make and create, showing and sharing their learning and their developing skills. Jason took on the question, "If everything Kardaras' argues is true, then what for schools?" He pointed out we can't "un-invent" digital screens, so it's important to help students become more saavy, intentional, and constructive users of digital screens to support learning and healthy living. Geeks of the week included amazing and affordable headphones from Monoprice (via Jason) and the free coding app for young kids, PBS Scratch Jr (from Wes).

Why are potentially disruptive forces so hard to see? And how can executives make sense of the endless headlines on the subject? John Hagel and John Seely Brown spoke with Tanya Ott on how executives might need to change their lens to identify patterns of disruption.

Before you can change the world, you have to be able to imagine other possibilities and see yourself as a political agent. This is what we call the civic imagination. Through interviews with more than 200 young activists, the USC Media, Activism, and Participatory Politics research group has documented the ways some innovative organizations are helping American youth to become more civically engaged and politically active. In many cases, this new political language appropriates and remixes storytelling elements borrowed from popular culture — from the Hunger Games to Harry Potter to Superman — in order to develop shared frameworks through which they can change the world. What if we saw fantasy not as escapism but as a tool for promoting social justice? Henry Jenkins, John Seely Brown

Passsion-Driven: When we introduce Youth Voices http://youthvoices.net to students we tell them: "We mean it! We really do want you to find your own area of inquiry, your own niche of expertise, exploration, and excitement. What are you already good at? What do you dream about, wonder over, and want to inquire into? What are you passionate about? That's what good research is really about. Starting with 10 self and 10 world questions is a great way to begin!" http://youthvocies.net/questions Next, we tell students: "Over time, along with your teacher and your peers you will be able to identify the "generative themes" (Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Chapter 3, pp. 96 & 97) that begin to bubble up in your writing. This type of really free, habitual freewriting is an important first step -- and ongoing, underground spring -- that allows your projects and and essays to become "a practice in catalyzing passion and creativity," not just another school assignment. Once you begin to write into an area of inquiry, your can take your next step "by finding niche learning communities that each kid might want to be a part of and build on that." (John Seely Brown. Lecture, 1.18.05) Helping you to create and find these niches is what "creating discussions" in a school-based social network such as Youth Voices is all about. http://youthvoices.net/freewriting In this video, Paul Allison puts the "10 self/10 world questions" assignment into the context of the larger goals of Youth Voices, where we encourage students to allow their passions to brush up against disciplinary inquiry.

Nigel and Martin discuss the book, A new culture of learning, by Doug Thomas and John Seely Brown

A look at how technology and big data are changing the way we work. John Seely Brown, Andrew McAfee, and Peter Jackson are on this panel of discussion.

For the same reason people once referred to the television as the “vast wasteland,” some today consider the world of gaming as frivolous and time wasting. But is it? Arguably, this is the one medium that challenges us to think, problem solve, and collaborate. (Interesting: Aren’t these the same skills needed in modern corporate America?). Constance Squire, a senior policy analyst in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy works with countless Federal agencies in applying the art of gaming to their work, discusses her mission, also her passion. Speakers: Constance Squire, John Seely Brown
