The Earth Foundation’s Post

Final day at #GartnerSYM!   This morning, Magnus Lindkvist delivered a thought-provoking keynote that challenged the idea that the future being beyond our control.   Here are the key insights that stood out to me: 1. Seek creative friction: Engage in constructive disagreements and debates to explore various perspectives 2. Experiment 'Dance with the Rules': Strict compliance limits creativity and experimentation. Start experimenting more! 3. Look elsewhere: Explore ideas outside your usual sources. 4. Say 'I'm a loser': New ideas are born when you start thinking that you’re an amateur. 5. Look for caterpillars: Good ideas take time to develop, so look back at the caterpillars - 'the old inventions.'   What are your thoughts?   #GartnerSYM #TOPdesk 

What is possible in a future without media and technology harms? This is the question we asked our 400+ participants who attended #TakeBackTech II, the first BIPOC-led tech and media movement convening of its kind. Co-hosted with Mijente, we convened nationwide organizers, community members, and tech workers nationwide to deepen relationships across movements and discuss strategies we'll need to combat technology's worst harms. Bridging these relationships is exactly the type of movement-building work we are emphasizing in our new strategy, #ShiftingTerrain. By shifting our current terrain, we’re creating the conditions necessary to dismantle the existing media and technology system and build people-centered governance. Now we’d like to hear from you: What do you think is possible in a future without media and technology harms? What will we create together?Join the conversation by responding here!

Huge kudos to Stefanie Baldwin, OCT, M.Ed. and the D2L team for making it happen!

Happy Morning Everyone, I wanted to share some thoughts on the importance of research collaboration and how it can significantly enhance our visibility and impact. By building a strong co-authorship network, we can share knowledge, resources, and diverse perspectives, ultimately leading to more impactful research outcomes. Let’s connect and explore how we can collaborate to strengthen our work together! #ResearchCollaboration #CoAuthorship #ResearchVisibility #StrongerTogether

My DComm story is a tapestry woven with threads of personal growth, a deepening belief in the power of decentralized communities, and the transformative impact this project can have. It's not just about knowledge acquisition; it's about fostering collaboration, innovation, and a spirit of shared purpose. This journey has ignited a passion within me for a future where online interaction is built on the bedrock of trust, security, and user empowerment. My journey from skeptic to believer. What are your thoughts on the potential of decentralized communication and building stronger online communities? Let's talk #DComm #Decentralization #CommunityEmpowerment

//HERE IS HOW I BOOST MY TEAM PERFORMANCE TO THE MOON... This is typical German: "We've always done it that way." Probably one of the most used sentences in Germany ;-) And this is our innovation tool for cracking the code... How does it work? You're just standing in front of your innovation team, and you don't say a word. You just look at them very seriously, and then the magic happens. They're immediately much more motivated. Thank me later... P.S. Don't ask legal before applying. They don't know anything about innovation ;-) ——— This is how we bring ideas to market in one week only:  https://lnkd.in/eq4TvNC4 #innovation #creativity #future #whatinspiresme #innoweek #venturestudio #companybuilder #vc ♻️ Repost to help your network to bring their ideas to market.

"Why do you have those Manekis and overall Asian things in your office?" people often ask when they come to visit at @o8Labs here in Starnberg. The answer is simply that it is a reminder for myself that if we talk about 'international marketing' and/or global opportunities etc. we need to be careful not to implicitly just talk about what the Anglosaxon business universe considers to be 'the world'. Quite often, if you listen closer, it will mean an implicit mental concept that Asia, etc., does not really exist. It very well does (which is great for our already now globally used software @Ägile Ässets). 😉 By the way, the whole branding of OVERW8 was supposed to be a reminder of it - that is why I chose the lacquer red as the main color (often used in Asian environments as the color of power). So... that is why. And also that stuff simply looks good and spreads fun. #internationalmarketing #globalmindset #openminds #somuchworldoutthere
