06/28/2004 04:51 AMThe application vendors should do a better job of standardizing
default storage locations and names (even as aliases) while still
letting users override those choices and pick their own storage
metaphor. This isn't nuclear physics - everyone has experience
organizing their "stuff" (socks, bills, books, DVDs) so why not a) let
them do it and b) use familiar metaphors for it?

Librarians' Resource Centre is a selective and searchable collection
of resources compiled to facilitate our informational research and
retrieval. Founded by Margaret Gross, it has been maintained by Dave
Hook since May of 2001. Since its inception, the LRC has always been
run by volunteers. The Librarians' Resource Centre is organized into
three major divisions. "Reference Resources" provides links to search
engines, topical guides, ready reference and databases on the net.
"Subject-Specific Resources" presents web resources specific to
particular topics. The third section is devoted to professional
development for library and information professionals. Wherever
possible meta sites or pathfinder resources are presented. The
Librarians' Resource Centre is intended to be a place to start
searching. Consulting the LRC is analogous in many ways to consulting
a bibliography of bibliographies. Resources in the database have been
selected and evaluated by information professionals. This has been

More on AHA! The Discovery & Learning

More on AHA! The Discovery & Learning
Centre
04/15/2005 08:18 PM
 The Idea: A day in the life
(c. 2006) of AHA! The Discovery
& Learning Centre, which I proposed on these pages last
week.
I'd like to thank everyone who
commented on my AHA! proposal.
I appreciate your candour that the concept is not sufficiently
differentiated from other facilities and programs designed to
encourage
innovation, collaboration and learning. I especially thank reader Dave
Davison for his great encouragement and the time he spent with me
today
hashing this out.
I thought it would be useful to tell a few (hypothetical) stories
about
how AHA! would be used and what it would do, to articulate its unique
attributes better.
So imagine we have been up and running a while -- here are some of the
successes I envision we will have:
J is the CEO of one of the world's largest banks, and he was attracted
to AHA! by the diversity, the intellectual and creative power of
AHA!'s
'members', which now include Nobel scientists, Pulitzer authors,
corporate kingpins and former state presidents. That 'people power'
was
in turn attracted by AHA!'s reciprocality model:
You help me on my project, and bring your unique experience and
insight
to it, and I'll stay around after the project to help you on yours.
The
price tag is a sliding scale based on the size and profitability of
the
entity or institution being helped: Basically, you pay what you can
afford, and, astonishingly, it is the importance of the issues and the
opportunity to rub shoulders with those with different yet
considerable
skills and resources that draws crowds voluntarily
to AHA! events regardless of remuneration. It is the human passion to
make a difference, to do something remarkable and memorable that draws
such huge creative energy to AHA! 'events'. That, and the reputation
of
AHA! for accomplishing amazing objectives that many thought
impossible,
and the simple elegance of The Invitation to an AHA! event, now a
coveted and even resume-able possession.
J's bank is dealing with a dilemma: Competition for the giant
corporate
accounts is so fierce that it is barely profitable. Customers are so
angry with credit card and mortgage rates and the plethora of 'service
charges' that regulators are starting to take notice and legislators
are proposing laws to ease the burden. The only area for growth and
profitability are therefore the small-to-medium enterprises and
individuals that big banks like J's have avoided for years on the
basis
that they're too risky and too small to make money from: More trouble
than they're worth. AHA! is hosting a Rediscovering the Small Customer
session that will have some brilliant innovators, unorthodox thinkers
and actual customers seeking the formula that will allow J's bank to
increase small-customer satisfaction and profitability simultaneously.
J is on the Board of Directors of an international insurance company
that has accomplished exactly this dual improvement thanks to an
earlier AHA! session. The session is being held in AHA!'s playful and
stimulating San Francisco Discovery & Learning Center, which has
inspiring displays, recorded speeches and stories of great human
achievements, such as the eradication of smallpox, the moon landing,
the abolition of slavery, and the unraveling of the human genome, and
where some of California's and the world's greatest thinkers and doers
often hang out. It will use the 13-component AHA! Discovery Session
Framework (illustrated above) supported by a suite of 20 (Open Source
co-developed) enabling technologies and through both physical and
virtual Open Space invitations and 'crowd'-canvassing tools will
gather
ideas, viewpoints and information from over 5,000 people, synchronized
as gracefully as a dance. As quickly as groups of participants are
surfacing ideas and opportunities, other participants and AHA!
staffers
are doing market and technical research, still others are developing
rapid prototypes of the ideas that have passed market and technical
research hurdles, and yet more are showing these prototypes to
potential customers and gathering The Wisdom of Crowds.
The following week, many of the participants, stunned at how quickly
and successfully the Discovery sessions qualified and brought new
ideas
to market, would volunteer to repeat their roles and apply the same
process to a small entrepreneurial consumer electronics company's
struggle to develop human-powered communications technologies for
areas
with no reliable electricity supply. Their hourly 'rate' for this
project was 80% less than the rate for the bank, but there were no
dropouts -- and several of the participants immediately went to work
for the fledgling entrepreneur, convinced it would be a winner.
K is one of the first to complete AHA!'s Natural Enterprise
program. She was surprised to learn that this program has no
instructors -- the course materials are all on-line pre-readings, and
instead of 'lectures', students participate in facilitated tours and
Q&A sessions at the premises (in person or by videoconference) of
entrepreneurs (all of them AHA! 'members') who are exemplary in one of
the twelve aspects of entrepreneurship. Students therefore get twelve
different, first-hand perspectives of entrepreneurial greatness. The
entrepreneurs jointly assess the 'students' business plans, and their
collective assessment is the 'mid-term' grade for the course. There is
no final grade -- the program is designed to get each student's
business successfully up in running by the time of its completion. For
K, that is more valuable than any grade. And in the process, K
discovered she needed some additional skills in story-telling, also
available as part of AHA!'s curriculum*. Like the Natural Enterprise
program, Story-Telling & Narrative has no classrooms, no lectures
and no examination: Students study the basics of great narrative
online
at their own pace, listen to the world's best story-tellers relate and
dissect their stories, and watch and practice telling stories to
others, 'scoring' each other on a reciprocal basis. Her business was
launched thanks in part to an outright grant from J's bank, in return
for which J is participating in the bank's Rediscovering the Small Customer session.
Another participant in the bank's session is M, a Harvard economics
professor and former World Bank executive who has dropped out to try
to
grapple with the vicious cycle of poverty, disease, poor sanitation,
large families, lack of education and environmental destruction in
many
African countries. In return, J is participating in the Discovery
Sessions for the AHA! Cycle of
Poverty project, donating many hours free of charge, and
twisting the arms of others to donate time to the project as well.
Cycle of Poverty, like Natural Enterprise,
does not use any of AHA!'s impressive session facilities, using
instead
many 'virtual' locations around the world, and using virtual reality
technology to 'project' all of the participants into Tekel, a small
village in Cameroun, where they will be 'virtually' welcomed and
hosted
by a Camerounian family, given a virtual 'tour' of the village and
invited to spend one entire virtual day in Tekel at their nearest IMAX
theatre. IMAX is a delighted AHA! customer and filmed the 'day in the
life' in the village in IMAX-3D and agreed to immerse Cycle of Poverty participants in it
free of charge.
The immersion works: The context that the participants get from their
deep understanding of why life is the way it is in Tekel inspires a
flurry of extraordinary ideas on programs and inexpensive leap-frog
technologies that offer the promise of breaking the cycle. J proposes
that communication around the project be centered around the
entrepreneurial human-powered communication tools (notably cell phones
and portable DVD players) that were just developed in the AHA! session
described above. Tekel serves as the real-world laboratory for testing
the ideas, and participants can watch live over the Internet as
programs and technologies are launched. The video record serves as a
model that can be used to replicate successes across the
continent.
Everything learned at AHA!, except for proprietary sessions like J's
bank's for which premium prices were paid, is archived and made
available online. In addition, AHA! research staffers continuously
scan
and synthesize knowledge about global needs, trends and opportunities,
and make this knowledge available free online, where it can be tapped
not only on other AHA! projects but by anyone, subject to Creative
Commons licenses, so that it contributes to making the products of
knowledge free to everyone. And the 'members' also take what they have
learned and discovered and use it to power other new ventures and
projects, to broaden and deepen relationships, and to accelerate the
flow of knowledge, innovation and ingenuity around the globe.

Centre for Economic Performance CEP at the London School of Economics
and Political Science is one of the most prominent and established
economic research groups in Europe. By focusing on the major links
between globalization, technology and institutions, the CEP studies
the determinants of economic performance at the level of the company,
the nation, and the global economy. Broadly, CEP's research programs
are divided into five groups that include research into labor markets,
technology and growth, and education and skills. From the prodigious
site, visitors can read about CEP In the News, learn about the various
staff members' research areas of expertise, and browse their related
publications (including occasional papers, working papers, and the
like) back to 1990. Overall, this site will merit more than one visit,
as it will be of substantial interest to persons interested in the
intersections between economics, education, and globalization, to name
but a few of the topical areas covered under the remit of the CEP.
