This is a really amazing version of the Daniel H. Pink speech about Motivation. It all into it’s second book, “Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us”.

And, best of all, it’s all explained on a white board ;)

This guy, Jeff Moser, is mental! He made a loooong comic strip to make AES explain itself: from a very high level, non technical explanation, deep down to mathematical details.

Worth a read for sure! ;)

Normalmente non quoto Marco Travaglio: lo segue sicuramente piu’ gente di quanta segua me. Ma questo video e’ davvero interessante per “capire” come mai Berlusca non e’ mai andato in carcere.

Innovation lesson from Pixar

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:36:30 +0000

Innovation is one of the major topics that all the Big companies speaks all the time about: how, what, when… Innovation?

When the reality is of a little/medium size company, Innovation is easy: you don’t need to convince, motivate, move people. Teams with “Innovation in mind” just pop out from the ground… and a good manager just need to feed and support them. But when it comes to big companies, with budgets of millions, with Customers that are even bigger… it’s like trying to move an Elephant using one man and a cord. Mission Impossible.

But. There are brave companies. Companies that plays the game smart. And those company lead Innovation. Apple? Yes, please! This article is indirectly about Apple: it’s about Pixar. It’s an interview to the Director of a different great movies in Pixar that brought “Innovation where looked impossible”: Phillip Bradley Bird (aka Brad Bird).
