I’ve recently facilitated a very brief SWOT workshop with a team of about 12 people or so. I generally am not a fan of SWOT - generates long lists of passive “mother hood and apple pie statements” rather than seeking out an activity based perspective on where real strategic advantage may lie. I have tho’ used SWOT analysis as a useful tool in analysing lessons learned in projects (what does this critical incident suggest about our strengths and weakness and thus what are the key opportunities

Alps Mapping, en collaboration avec l'Institut de Technologie de Nagoya, propose une nouvelle fonctionnalité pour les cartes sur internet...il s'agit d'un mode "fish-eye" (à la manière de certains objectifs) qui permet de prolonger la visibilité des routes ou rails de train. Cette nouvelle fonction est très sympa même s'il lui manque encore 2-3 choses comme un véritable zoom.... Reader Comments

I have read a few posts lately about people who would like to try to visualize their social networks. This is quite a feat to accomplish, seeing as many people’s networks include thousands of people. Although many people may not be able to complete such a task, there is a website that showcases people’s attempts to do so. If you want to check it out, it is VisualComplexity.com. There are some pretty cool ones, and I would recommend looking at the Digg Community and the Facebook Friend Wheel.I

Those are some smart folks over at Dubberly Design Office. I love their concept maps, which bring to life such ideas as A Model Of Brand (which hangs in my office), Information Loop, Innovation and Search. In an industry where words, concepts and theories are thrown around, sometimes it’s nice to be able to visualize an issue, especially a complex one. These maps tackle some intricate and fluid notions where getting people on the same team to agree on definitions can be tough. At the very lea

After last year’s snowboarding GPS fun, I decided once again to carry a GPS for this year’s trip to St Anton, so I could keep a record of where we boarded. Using Rob’s, now slightly battered, Garmin Etrex Legend C, I set the GPS to record our location every 2 seconds and put it in my jacket pocket for the day. At the end of each day, I downloaded our traces from the GPS onto my laptop using GPSBabel, then at the end of the trip, loaded them all into Google Earth and munged them around a bit

Chris Harrison put together a series of Internet maps that show how cities are interconnected by router configuration. Similar to Aaron Koblin's Flight Patterns, Chris chose to map only the data, which makes an image that looks a lot like strands of silk stretched from city to city. With these maps, viewers gain a sense of connectivity in the world - and as expected the U.S. and Europe are a lot brighter than the rest. The Dimes Project provides several excellent data sets that describe the st

You simply must call and hear this important message - it will only take a couple of minutes. Alternately, or if you are hearing-impaired, you can get the vital news by firing up a terminal program and typing: telnet psyduck.timminstechnologies.com This might not work if your organization or ISP blocks the use of telnet (which they should not, but you never know). By the way, the call to the 248 number is charged as a regular toll call if you dial it in the normal way, but it’s a registe

Racend onder de ochtendzon meldt Menno enthousiast, dat Google omgevingsgeluid kan interpreteren, om je vervolgens van alles aan te smeren. Ja zeg ik, zeker dat ‘Ambient Audio Contextual Content’-gedoe. Gekscherend bedenken we samen: om wat voor geluiden het zou kunnen gaan; tot welke aankopen je dan zou kunnen worden verleid; en hoe killing dat zou kunnen zijn voor je relatie.
