How YOU Can Be A Global Detective
An Interview with FastCompany Founder Alan Webber
Alan M. Webber is global trendspotter. He is co-founder of the innovative magazine Fast Company and has just launched his new book Rules of Thumb. In this amazing interview, he shares with us the key traits that have made him a global detective in a world that is swirling with new possibilities. Learn how YOU too can be a global detective.
How is change a math formula? How can someone become a real change agent?
Change happens when the cost of the status quo is greater than the risk of change. If you want to become a real change agent, focus on the real cost of the status quo: what are the hidden subsidies and social costs that hide the real costs of the status quo?
Tell us more about your philosophy that states “Teachers are Everywhere.”
Life is all about learning. But too many of us, after we leave formal school, (we also) stop learning, stop listening, stop paying attention to opportunities to learn from others. But the truth is, there are teachers everywhere! All you have to do is to listen, pay attention, and take notes on 3x5 cards when you hear something that makes sense to you or helps you see the world with new clarity.
Take us back to when YOU were starting the FastCompany magazine. What key lessons did YOU learn?
It helps if you know something about something: Both Bill Taylor, who started the magazine with me, and I had years of experience in both the subject of management and business and the work of putting out a magazine. Put together your best business plan, and then listen the feedback you get from the market—any idea can be made better. Learn to take no as a question: when someone turns you down when you ask for money, listen to their reasons and learn from the no. Build a great team--much of business, like much of life, is a team sport. And managing your emotional flow is more important than managing your cash flow.
How does one live inside their customer's skins?
Ask questions. Go visit your customers. Look at the world through their eyes. Try to imagine how they view the product or service you're offering. You may think you're selling one thing, but your customers may be buying something else. You need to listen more, talk less. Worry less about having right answers and worry more about asking good questions.
How do we keep track of changing trends? Can someone predict coming trends? Or is it something that we can only see when its already happening?
Trends are real, and if you can see them coming and get an early warning system in place, you have a real advantage: The difference between a crisis and an opportunity is when you learn about it. If you want to get good at sensing trends, you need to work at it. Read extensively, with an eye to data points that you can assemble in your own head. Develop a network of friends and colleagues who are attentive to developments in the world--and talk with them about what they see and hear. Begin to set up your own lenses that you use to analyze the world--test your theories about what's happening and the rate at which it is taking place against the data points you're seeing in the news. Like anything else, the more you do, the better you get at it.
You recently published one of the best books we've read, Rules of Thumb, what was YOUR inspiration in writing it? What's YOUR favorite rule of thumb among the 52 that YOU mentioned?
My inspiration was simple: I'm trying to start a conversation with as many people as possible to highlight the new practices and principles we need to adopt to create a better, more workable, sustainable future. Right now I think the world is short on leaders--and we need to create more leaders right away! The only way to do that is for all of us to step up and become leaders--and this book is a field manual for men and women who want to assume the job of leadership. My favorite rule? You've already touched on it: Stay alert! There are teachers everywhere! We all have a lot to learn from each other!
What's the best thing about being a global detective? What's a global detective?
I'm a global detective! And what I do is try to use my powers of deduction to solve mysteries: How do we do a better job of developing leaders? That's a mystery--until you begin to examine it. How do we do a better job of improving public education? A better job of eradicating poverty? A better job of social innovation and social entrepreneurship? A better job of creating a sustainable economy with companies that work? You can be a global detective too--just start asking questions and exploring new answers to old problems. The best thing about being a global detective? You meet fascinating people doing amazing work, you're always learning, and you're engaged with the real issues of our time!
How does one build experience and expertise?
Keep an open mind, meet interesting people and ask a lot of questions. Make mistakes--it's the only way to learn. Go out into the world and engage life as an adventure, not an exam. It's supposed to be fun, not a trial!
Why does a good question always beat a good answer?
Good question! Because if all you focus on is coming up with "the right answer" you ignore the importance of the learning process. You get caught up in being right--and you lose sight of the importance of how you learn in the first place. But just important is the simple fact that the questions we ask often determine the answers we get. So you need to pay attention to the way you frame questions in the first place: Are you trying to get the answer you want? Or are you asking an open question that requires an open mind to explore many different possible answers?
Who are YOUR personal heroes?
If you look at the list of people who comprise The Elders, you'll find some of the most remarkable people alive today.
What are YOU hungry for?
Change. New thinking. Innovative problem-solving. Courageous truth-tellers.

Tord Gustavsen Trio live at RNCM Manchester
Tord Gustavsen - piano
Tore Brunborg - saxophones
Mats Eilertsen - bass
Jarle Vespestad - drums
There was a ripple of applause as the bird-like figure of Tord Gustavsen and his new ensemble made up of some of Scandinavia's finest jazz musicians, took to the stage at the RNCM... then silence. Gently the undulating sound of Gustavsen's piano taking its first steps emerged from the stage.
From these first notes it was evident that this evening we were going to be taken on an exquisite musical voyage.
Although I had heard some of the Tord Gustavsen Trio's music, (and loved it), I wasn't familiar with any of the pieces performed by this ensemble; most of which were from a forthcoming album and therefore completely new, but that absolutely did not take anything away from the evening.
I always love coming to the RNCM, the venues and the ambiance of the college really add something to the concert experience. The packed theatre was alive with beautiful music. Gustavsen's virtuosity on the piano was evident, so involved with his instrument - feeling every note and savouring it's meaning. At each interval, he introduced the next piece in a whispered tone, as if speaking of something sacred and immensly valueable.
Eilertson on his gorgeous double bass added so much to the compositions and played a key part in the tonal development of each piece and its musicality. Being a bass player myself, I noticed he was using gut strings. These were perfect for this scenario; the sound of the bass was so natural and woody, and blended so wonderfully within the ensemble... And what a player! Switching between pizzicato and arco sections with ease - beautiful, textural bass.
Vespestad on drums brought an intense sensitivity. Moving with the music - sometimes leading, sometimes following. Occasionally hardly glancing the cymbals with his brushes. Truly melodic playing, the non-dampened toms ringing beautifully as they were played. His solo piece near the end of the set was a joy to listen to; drawing appreciative applause. Nothing heavy here, just great clarity and purposefulness.
Brunborg on saxophones seemed to be given so much space in which to breathe. At times sounding very much like Jan Garbarek. Beautiful soaring notes along with ones which questioned and interacted with the other musicians. At one point walking around the stage away from the microphones creating a sense of spaciousness and open air.
For me this music, and the sounds from quite a lot of the artists signed to the ECM label seem to echo the sound of creation itself. I always see imagery of wide open landscapes when I listen.
I will always be a fan of this genre of music. Artists like the Tord Gustavsen Trio, Jan Garbarek, Arild Anderson, Bobo Stenson Trio and the late Esbjörn Svensson and e.s.t. are typical and yet at the same time unique in painting fantastic artwork in the minds of their listeners.
Generally, European jazz in all its forms fascinates me, and I will continue to be an avid fan and someone who journeys within the soundscapes it creates.

Designer Deborah Marie Fehrenbach's award-winning metal-based creations are bold, exciting and whimsical, commanding attention in the best possible way. Trust me, I know, having worn two of Fehrenbach's contemporary pieces on numerous occasions - and with much fanfare. First is the Eye Candy Cocktail Ring introduced to the marketplace just this season as part of the company's Eclipse Collection. As all Fehrenbach Fine Art Jewelry is inspired by the designer's love of nature, this ring, too, is a homage to her favorite hobby, scuba diving, and her favorite fish, the puffer with its large jeweled eyes. This hand-fabricated Sterling silver ring features a large (approximately 2cm) round three-dimensional silver disk with your choice of semi-precious, lab grown cubic zirconia or resin colored 8 mm channel set stone in its center. This is all is perched majestically atop an architectural adjustable band. A matching bracelet, pendant and earrings are also available.

(www.fehrenbachjewelry.com)  Psychic Reading with Justine Kenzer (30-45 minutes/in-person or remote) - $200 In scouring the luxury marketplace for unique and innovative gift ideas, I sometimes run across something entirely unexpected was the case with find. However unconventional, an in-person or remote reading with psychic-to-the-stars Justine Kenzer may be just the ticket for that uber-finicky person who's impossible to buy for, likes to think outside the box and enjoy unique experiences, already has it all, or just likes to know about things. Indeed, Justine offers gift certificates for her 30-45-minute reading sessions, which may be conduced either in person, over the telephone, or even via instant message! As long as the person being read give Justine permission to psychically look in at him or her and those he or she wants to speak about, she's reportedly able to tune into that person on an energetic level and provide specific answers to their questions. Justine has been a professional psychic for twenty years, helping people worldwide tap into information they don't have access to on their own. As a clairvoyant, Justine claims the ability to clearly see energy just by using her psychic ability. She seeks to use this "gift" to provide spiritual healing that can quickly result in positive change in the person being read's physical world. She's used her psychic ability to do everything from name best selling books, to help business owners hire great people and fire not so great people, to help heal broken hearts. She's even read some of Hollywood's biggest movers, shakers and A-list celebrities, including Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher, Carmen Electra, and Suzanne Somers. In fact, Justine named Suzanne's two best selling books, "Ageless" and "Breakthrough" both in psychic readings with her. For my part, I recently did my own reading with Justine an the experience was very positive. She gave me insights into many facets of my life, including my fundamental personality and ambition, business prospects for the upcoming year and where to focus my efforts, medical concerns for myself and others in my family and even marital questions. In all, a fun and fascinating experience. No matter what you personally believe, consider this unique gift for those who would enjoy some insight into their own life and guidance for navigating what lie ahead.

The company has an incredible A-list celebrity following of starlets known for their fashion flair such as Eva Longoria, Christina Applegate and even Mariah Carey, who, incidentally, is the namesake of her very own Carmen Steffens designer shoe - handmade with authentic Austrian crystals ($848) - that she wore in her "Obsessed" remix music video. I, however, have recently set my sights on another of the company's particularly artful designs that any shoe suitor would love: the Beatriz Slingback Platform. Carmen Steffens Beatriz is a highly versatile slingback shoe that combines smooth black patent Bovine leather with that imprinted with an animal skin pattern, which is carried over to the insole. The Beatriz design also features cute charm that dangles from the buckle, a 1" high platform and a uniquely styled 5" high leather covered heel.

This innovative high performance blow dryer uses patent-pending "Insanely Quiet" technology to create lovely locks without ridiculously loud noise and gluttonous energy consumption. This lightweight device, which is ergonomically designed to suit both righties and lefties, fosters a more serene beauty routine for the user, and will no longer wake spouses and other loved ones, or house guests, when blow drying hair. Its use of ceramic tourmaline technology produces damage-free, moist, shiny and healthier-looking hair without the dull roar associated with normal hair dryers. Ionic technology also dramatically reduces drying time, which is fantastic for those with long hair for whom hair drying is a chore. Cricket's Q-Zone Quiet Dryer, which comes in an attractive metallic pewter and black design, features two speed and three heat settings, a dual air intake, a cold shot dual position button allowing activation from either the handle or barrel grip, a removable concentrator attachment and a heavy duty eight foot cord. And, not only is the Q-Zone Quiet Dryer a great hair tool, but it is also environmentally friendly and energy efficient - it does the work of an 1875 watt dryer, but only uses 1500 watts of electricity. The packaging is also made from 100% recyclable packaging materials. Green the routine! (www.ulta.com) |

The company has put an elegant and festive twist on its venerable London line, enhancing the classic and elegant attributes that have made it a scent sensation the world over. First there is the First there is the glam packaging and design. The bottles, which maintain their original signature shapes, are adorned with shiny and glossy fabrics intended to express "the reflections of the Christmas lights the undulate on the surface of the River Thames." The ladies bottle is outfitted with a shiny metallic finish with a hint of pink, while the men's bottle has a masculine glossy charcoal veneer. The outer packaging is also decidedly stylish, both with glossy paper that has a mirror-like finish and a dramatic black logo on a chrome mirriboard background. But, the proof is in the pudding or, in this case, inside the bottle itself. Both fragrances are simply divine and will duly enhance your holiday party attire. The company describes the woman's scent as having lively and shimmering freshness, a dewy and bright floralcy, a moiré and elegant woodiness. The juicy blend of grapefruit and mandarin opens the composition with a burst of light crossed by the spicy vibration of pink pepper. In the heart of the fragrance glows a very feminine and truly British rose, the English Garden Rose sublimated a dewy cyclamen and lily of the valley. The magnetic trail is based on precious woods and comforting musks. The men's scent is billed as a bright, crisp, fresh, sparkling version of its classic fragrance. The top notes are joyful, with an uplifting cocktail of lemon, green pineapple and blackcurrant buds, not to forget a touch of plum, reminiscent of Christmas. A fresh watery floral note with a hint of lavender gives a particular shine to the heart note. The drydown, whilst directly inspired from the classic fragrance, with its warm, sensual woody character, reveals a clear, air, and vibrant woody-ambery facet.

Warum die Wikipedia bitte sofort sterben muss, bitte
Gestern war ich auf der Wikimedia Diskussionsrunde in den Räumen des Wikipedia Vereins Deutschland. Wie kam ich da hin? Andreas Baum, Landesvorsitzender Piratenpartei Berlin war einer der Glücklichen 42, die mit ihrer Anmeldung durchkamen und nachdem er nicht konnte fragte er mich, ob ich nicht Lust hätte mir das mal anzusehen. Hatte ich. Auch, weil mein Freund Pavel auf dem Podium saß und ich mal schauen wollte, ob er sich meine Tipps was rabiate Wortbeiträge angeht zu Herzen genommen hat. Ich kann verraten: Hat er ein bisschen, was mich heimlich stolz macht.
Weiterlesen bei der Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie
Da tun sich ja Abgründe innerhalb der Wikipedia auf, wie sie tiefer nicht sein können. Das Problem wird sein: Ein Fork wird niemals funktionieren - die Wikipedia ist international und hat eine Monopolstellung inne. Von kann man die Wikipedia eigentlich als ein spannendes Sozialexperiment sehen: Wie schaut es mit der Schwarmintelligenz und der Basisdemokratie aus, wenn an der Spitze selbstherrliche Blockwarte und Diktatoren schalten und walten, wie sie es für richtig halten. Schau m'er mal - ich sehe dieses Sozialexperiment mittlerweile mit einer gewissen Belustigung... :D
