Over in Hong Kong for the @LEFEP launch event - leadingedgeforum.com/event/launch-e… - oodles of mapping, organisational theory (pioneer - settler - town planner), weak signal analysis (prediction of change - peace, war & wonder) and ecosystem plays (ILC model) - leadingedgeforum.com/event/launch-e…
@lefep ... currently working away to make the context more culturally meaningful. Should be an interest week. Several visits planned - Huawei etc, several talks ...
@lefep including one on Thursday - "Can China dethrone Silicon Valley" - britcham.com/events/upcomin… - the short answer is "that has already been happening", the long answer involves lots of maps & weak signal analysis.

X : We have a problem with our people.
Me : What?
X : Most lack digital skills necessary and those we hire keep on leaving. We need to make our culture more dynamic, more digital, more agile.
Me : That's easy to fix.
X : How?
Me : Fire your direct reports and then fire yourself.
X : You're a bit of a clown aren't you?
Me : No, I'm serious. The problem is not your people, it's your leadership. It's crap. You're crap. You need to go for the good of the organisation. You won't nor will your direct reports and so this will just continue until the firm dies.
X : How do we make this better?
Me : Spend a small fortune on sending yourself and your reports on leadership courses and coaching in sunny locations.
X : Will it help?
Me : Yes. It'll get you out of the factory so that people on the floor can get on with what needs to happen.

The most popular option every time - backed on average by just over a quarter - has been to leave without a deal at all - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi… ... well, I'd prefer GE followed by Corbyn + Brexit (preferably WTO but EEA docked to EFTA is fine) but that's a bit specialised.
... what I do find amazing is that "no deal" still tops the options after years of continuous campaigning both online and offline to overturn the referendum against no effective opposition. That is fairly spectacular, almost unprecedented.
But as always, do remember these are polls and not reality. Lest we forget 23/Jun/16 ...
Populus had Remain 10% ahead
ComRes had Remain 6%+
YouGov had Remain 4%+
Ipsos Mori had Remain 4%+
... One of the few dissenting voices was Opinium, who produced that recent poll.

X : Who created Wardley Maps?
Me : Err ... the clue is in the name?
X : Are they new?
Me : In terms of historical scales - yes. It's only 14 years old.
X : Why haven't I heard of them before?
Me : Because the world is large and techniques take time to diffuse?
X : Could you create me a map of my organisation?
Me : I could but it wouldn't help you.
X : Why?
Me : Because you wouldn't know what to do with it. You really need to learn to map for yourself.
X : How do I do that?
Me : Start here - medium.com/wardleymaps - just add practice.
X : How long will it take?
Me : To become really good at mapping, for it to become natural .. many years.
X : I don't have the time, how do I speed it up?
Me : Well, you could decide to actually start and use it i.e. practice. There is no shortcut for practice.

E.D. Hirsch, Jr., delivered a keynote at Making Shift Happen 2018, in Amsterdam (no, not online). In his books, Hirsch evaded the question of nature/nature in intelligence. Surprisingly, now his keynote centered on the idea of the ‘blank slate’ originating with John Locke. 1/..
Also know as ‘tabula rasa’, or ‘white paper’. On (the reception of) Locke’s idea of education and the blank slate, see Margaret J. M. Ezell (1983). ‘John Locke's Images of Childhood’ jstor.org/stable/2738281 There’s more to it than the word ‘blank’ suggests. 2/..
Of course, nowadays ‘The Blank Slate’ is the 20032book by Steven Pinker on the subject. An essay by Pinker, using material of the book: apadivisions.org/division-1/pub… I haven’t read the book yet, but I see Pinker neglects Galton’s influential ideas on heritability. It is nature! 3/..

#Analysis: Ending #BirthrightCitizenship for the children of illegal immigrants and birth tourists has long been the crown jewel of pro-sovereignty immigration reformers. It's about interpreting the #14Amendment of the #Constitution correctly. Thread.
First, to quote the great Ann Coulter, it's laughable to think that any Founder, Framer or Amender of the Constitution intended for American citizenship to be the prize in a game of Red Rover with the Border Patrol. We're a nation of laws, after all.
Second, #14Amendment was one of three emancipation-related amendments to the #Constitution, designed to grant citizenship to former slaves and their children. The congressional record shows nobody believed 600,000 Americans died to give Congress the chance to open the borders.

E agora, em nossa sessão “O Atacadão do Thread”, uma sequência de “Feminicídio for ultra-dummies” neste 8 de março, o #8M:
Levando em conta que vários gajos me perguntam “êta, se assassinatu di muié é feminicídio, assassinatu di hóme é ‘homEnicídio’ ?"

Bom, para atender essas inquietudes, vamos explicar no que consiste isso...
Se uma mulher é morta por um ladrão em um assalto a um banco não é “feminicídio”.... Feminicídio é o assassinato de mulheres cometidos por homens por questões de gênero
