Edward de Bono in Bilbao ICOT 2015

Posted by / 19 August, 2015 / Categories: General, Sin categoría / -

 

 viernes-mana-538viernes-mana-541viernes-mana-554viernes-mana-111
 ICOT session in Bilbao on 2nd July.  The day started with a conversational format between David Perkins and Edward at the Palacio Euskalduna, to a packed house. Edward was awarded a Basque Txapela. He already has a Blue one, given to him in 2007 at the Guggenheim last time he was in the capital of Vizcaya. Mine is Green!The second session was with me, where the title of our Q&A was “Update and Upgrade to 2st Century Thinking”. My lead questions where directed towards the less mainstream parts of Edward´s work, viz. the dichotomy of RIGHT vs WRONG, the Arrogance of Intelligence, and the errors of Perception. The books that inspired those questions were: “Letters to Thinkers”, “I am Right you are Wrong”, and “New Thinking for the New Millenium”.

Tuvimos la oportunidad de ofrecer una breve introducción al uso y aplicacion de los Seis Sombreros en el Palacio Euskalduna en el “Thinking Txoco“. Con Edward como invitado de honor, co-presentado con nuestro equipo, trainers certificados de Madrid, Valladolid, Salamanca y Bilbao. Ellos son: Loreto Laguna (Directora de Cocnede Coaching), Jose Antonio Molina (Director EINMMCOACHING Creatividad e Innovación para el desarrollo Humano) Montse Hidalgo (Speaker y Trainer Internacional. Socia Fundadora de la Universidad de la Felicidad en España), Jon Egia (Co fundador de Burning Games Ltd), y Ines Gallego (Subdirectora de Innovación y Calidad.

Talking about thinking, this tells the story as it is: 90% of the world population does NOT know how to think. Press interview with Robert Swartz

And finally, in homage to Edward de Bono, the person whose work we proudly represent, we held a private event hosted by DBTS at the Vizcaya Agency for Innovation, Beaz . We surprised Edward and guests alike with the presence of a traditional Basque story teller, who speaks and sings in verse (in Euskera of course) called a Bertsolari. The challenge was to get the ball rolling with a RANDOM WORD, chosen by Edward. Antonn Irusta, teacher and voactional story teller delighted us all with his strong communication skills. Eskerrik asko!

Fue una alegría muy grande para mi, poder compartir este espacio con parte del equipo DBTS en España – Loreto, Ines, Jon, Jose Antonio y Montse GRACIAS a BIG THANK YOU. A todos vosotros TXAPELURDINS : de los hospitales de CRUCES & GALDAKANO;  de la mejor FP en Europa, el equipo creativo de Euskadi (locos por la FP, si señor!), a todos  nuestros invitados, a Antton el BERSOLARI, to all the wonderful guests and friends who joined us, to you EDWARD for coming back to Bilbao, 8 years on. Last time,  you delivered your keynote at the Guggenheim.  To Amanda Mobbs, to  each and everyone of you; A great big ESKARRISKASKO!

El maestro del pensamiento creativo,  19.50 €

Edward de Bono, el creador del pensamiento lateral, se propone en esta obra describir dicho proceso mental. Para ello se sirve del enfoque lateral y, mediante fascinantes ejemplos visuales, esboza la naturaleza del pensamiento lateral.

El pensamiento lateral es un modo de razonamiento imaginativo y anárquico, en el cual a menudo se dan ideas nuevas, que además pueden ser sencillas, sólidas y efectivas. Contrasta, por tanto, con el pensamiento vertical: lógico, ortodoxo y falto de creatividad.

Radical wisdom for a company, a school, a life – Ricardo Semler, Brazil

Posted by / 27 February, 2015 / Categories: General / -

Se artice here: HARVARD REVIEW

An old article from Harvard Review, with some outdated facts but very dated concepts in terms of taking a leap of fate into managing without control. Very much in keeping with the 21st Business Leadership model, which includes i) Intrinsic compensation over extrinsic, ii) Collective Wisdom, iii) Obliquity.

Ricardo Semler: Radical wisdom for a company, a school, a life

Publicado el 10 de feb. de 2015

What if your job didn’t control your life? Brazilian CEO Ricardo Semler practices a radical form of corporate democracy, rethinking everything from board meetings to how workers report their vacation days (they don’t have to). It’s a vision that rewards the wisdom of workers, promotes work-life balance — and leads to some deep insight on what work, and life, is really all about. Bonus question: What if schools were like this too?

App matches consumers with businesses that hold the same values

Glia enables consumers to discover the values of local businesses — empowering them to spend their dollars at places that are compatible with their own beliefs.

Faced with so much choice, consumers are increasingly looking to associate themselves with brands that maintain ethical practices. We have already seen platforms such as Slavery Footprint and aVOID, which help consumers stay away from products associated with forced or child labour. Now, the new Glia app is taking into account a consumer’s full range of social, political and economic values — enabling them to differentiate between the businesses that support those beliefs and those which work against them.

Platform lets patients contribute to their own medical records

OurNotes, part of the OpenNotes initiative, will enable patients to access and contribute to their own electronic medical records.

Those with complex medical conditions often rely heavily on their own ability to communicate their symptoms in short — and sometimes stressful — healthcare visits. We have recently seen Ginger.io, a smartphone app which uses big data to improve communication between patients and clinicians in between visits, and nowOurNotes is a Commonwealth grant funded program that will enable patients to contribute to their own electronic medical records.
