Value system A value system is a set of consistent ethic values (more specifically the personal and cultural values) and measures[clarification needed] used for the purpose of ethical or ideological integrity. A well defined value system is a moral code. Personal and communal[edit] One or more people can hold a value system. A 'personal' value system is held by and applied to one individual only.A communal' or cultural value system is held by and applied to a community/group/society. Corporate value systems[edit] Fred Wenstøp and Arild Myrmel have proposed a structure for corporate value systems that consists of three value categories. Consistency[edit] As a member of a society, group or community, an individual can hold both a personal value system and a communal value system at the same time. A value system in its own right is internally consistent when its values do not contradict each other andits exceptions are or could be abstract enough to be used in all situations andconsistently applied.
Risk intelligence Risk intelligence is a relatively new term used in different ways by different writers. The US business writer David Apgar, who coined the term in 2006, defines it as the capacity to learn about risk from experience. The UK philosopher and psychologist Dylan Evans defines it as "a special kind of intelligence for thinking about risk and uncertainty", at the core of which is the ability to estimate probabilities accurately.

Operations Planning Process Advanced Decision Support Advanced Decision Support Tools embedded into Collaborative Operations Planning Systems (COPlanS) Center of Gravity Analysis Decisive Point Analysis Risk Management Criteria Management Dynamic Link Management Decision-Matrix Management Plan Management What is OPP-ADS? Operations Planning Process Advanced Decision Support (OPP-ADS) is a suite of advanced decision-support tools added to Collaborative Operations Planning Systems (COPlanS) to support operational planning as part of a Joint, Net-Enabled Collaborative Environment to achieve Decision Superiority. OPP-ADS supports planners in the design of campaign plans as well as in the use of contingency plans to reduce the time required to produce executable plans. OPP-ADS Functions Technology and Interoperability OPP-ADS tools are embedded into COPlanS. Execution Management and Plan Adaptation (EMPA): EMPA monitors the plans developed by COPlanS. Procedural interaction with other JCDS21 tools is also possible. The Way Ahead For more information
Negative feedback Simple feedback model. The feedback is negative if AB < 0 Negative feedback occurs when the result of a process influences the operation of the process itself in such a way as to reduce changes. Negative feedback tends to make a system self-regulating; it can produce stability and reduce the effect of fluctuations. Negative feedback is widely used in mechanical and electronic engineering, but it also occurs naturally within living organisms, and can be seen in many other fields from chemistry and economics to social behaviour and the climate. History[edit] Early researchers in the area of cybernetics subsequently generalised the idea of negative feedback to cover any goal-seeking or purposeful behavior.[9] All purposeful behavior may be considered to require negative feed-back. The information fed back to the control center tends to oppose the departure of the controlled from the controlling quantity...

Crossing the Chasm Crossing the Chasm: Marketing and Selling High-Tech Products to Mainstream Customers or simply Crossing the Chasm (1991, revised 1999 and 2014), is a marketing book by Geoffrey A. Moore [1] that focuses on the specifics of marketing high tech products during the early start up period. Moore's exploration and expansion of the diffusions of innovations model has had a significant and lasting impact on high tech entrepreneurship. In 2006, Tom Byers, Faculty Director of Stanford Technology Ventures Program, described it as "still the bible for entrepreneurial marketing 15 years later".[2] The book's success has led to a series of follow-up books and a consulting company, The Chasm Group.[3] Synopsis[edit] Crossing the Chasm is closely related to the technology adoption lifecycle where five main segments are recognized: innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority and laggards.

Dr. Srikumar Rao Youth and education[edit] Rao was born in Bombay (current day Mumbai) in 1951, and received his schooling in Delhi, Rangoon and Calcutta. He graduated from Narendrapur, the flagship school of the Ramakrishna Mission system in West Bengal. He was a Physics major at St. Professional background[edit] Creativity and Personal Mastery (CPM)[edit] In 1994, Rao created and began teaching a course known as Creativity and Personal Mastery (CPM) at Long Island University. Rao currently teaches Creativity and Personal Mastery privately, in major cities including New York, San Francisco and London, and in corporate settings. Training magazine described the course in its Leadership issue of May/June 2012.[7] Personal[edit] Rao is married to Meena Rao, the Director of Organic Chemistry Laboratories at Barnard College, Columbia University.

Operations Recursion A visual form of recursion known as the Droste effect. The woman in this image holds an object that contains a smaller image of her holding an identical object, which in turn contains a smaller image of herself holding an identical object, and so forth. Formal definitions Recursion in a screen recording program, where the smaller window contains a snapshot of the entire screen. In mathematics and computer science, a class of objects or methods exhibit recursive behavior when they can be defined by two properties: A simple base case (or cases)A set of rules that reduce all other cases toward the base case For example, the following is a recursive definition of a person's ancestors: One's parents are one's ancestors (base case).The ancestors of one's ancestors are also one's ancestors (recursion step). The Fibonacci sequence is a classic example of recursion: Many mathematical axioms are based upon recursive rules. Informal definition In language Recursive humor Recursion, see Recursion.[5] 0 is in
Agitavi Group : Leadership in Local Software Economies Buddhism and the Brain Credit: Flickr user eschipul Over the last few decades many Buddhists and quite a few neuroscientists have examined Buddhism and neuroscience, with both groups reporting overlap. I’m sorry to say I have been privately dismissive. But science isn’t supposed to care about preconceived notions. Despite my doubts, neurology and neuroscience do not appear to profoundly contradict Buddhist thought. Buddhists say pretty much the same thing. When considering a Buddhist contemplating his soul, one is immediately struck by a disconnect between religious teaching and perception. Mr. Although I despaired, I comforted myself by looking at the overlying cortex. The next day Mr. One year later he came back to the office with an odd request. When we consider our language, it seems unified and indivisible. Consider how easily Buddhism accepts what happened to Mr. Both Buddhism and neuroscience converge on a similar point of view: The way it feels isn’t how it is. How did Buddhism get so much right?
Air Force: JSF Will Redefine Age Old Doctrine for Fighters The advent and upcoming operational use of new Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)-aircraft cockpit information technology is likely to generate new paradigms for implementing the widely known Observe, Orient, Decide, Act OODA-loop concept made famous in the 1970’s by former Air Force Fighter Pilot Col. John Boyd, Air Force officials said. Boyd, who flew F-86 Sabre aircraft during the Korean War and went on to be a military theorist and Pentagon consultant, conceived of the OODA-loop notion as a method of winning a dogfight against an enemy fighter jet by, in part, more quickly anticipating fast-changing circumstances, orienting, observing, deciding and “acting.” These days, the fusing of sensor, weapons and electronic data made available to fighter pilots and air crews – in conjunction with the rapid integration with numerous mobile command and control centers — provides new areas of application upon which to utilize or apply the OODA-loop paradigm, said Lt.
