Making Innovation Happen
Sunday, October 18, 2009 at 04:25PM This is genuinely interesting and indepth paper, regardless of all its biases, prepared by the Australian Commonwealth Department of Youth Sport and Education in 2000 on the evolution and working componets of corporate universities in Australia. It is worth reading this paper against the current failure of university business schools.

Monday, March 30, 2009 at 11:36PM Author and anthropologist Grant McCracken had a good line a few months ago on the conventional wisdom about the generational divide: The other day I found myself thinking that every time I hear Millennials described: 1. the tone is that of a smug outsider. 2. the speaker is not a Millennial. I'm a Gen X executive coach who works closely with Millennial students at Stanford's Graduate School of Business, and Grant's observation serves as a useful reminder of the dangers of over-generalizing, a perspective reinforced by a Millennial commenter on Grant's post: "[W]e have such fine control over our own identities that we don't need to resort to big, poorly-defined memes like generational labels." Points well taken. So with the foreknowledge that I'm getting into a "big, poorly defined meme" here, I want to talk about a concept of Grant's that isn't a generational difference per se but that has implications for Millennials and anyone who works with them. (And I sure hope I don't sound like a smug outsider, so please let me know if I do.)
