Thinking, like fire, happens when certain things are present. This is a short intro into how social smarter cognitive systems can help us think...and solve problems
Story Matters - You use stories every day to communicate ideas and events in your personal life. But for some reason, when you walk through the doors of your office or open your business email application, you avoid your natural storytelling DNA. In today's market you need to be interesting and relevant and stories are the way to get there.
Storytelling is a hot topic, but how do you get better at telling stories. Here are a 10 tips I'd give to someone asking for my advice. Hopefully you will find them helpful to you. Happy Storytelling!
People are the most important asset in any organization, so it's important to give them ways to share their backgrounds and expertise. Encouraging open conversations and sharing knowledge can help answers be found faster. Providing analytics and recognition can help motivate continued sharing and contribution. Enabling sharing across different devices and in open forums can help organizations leverage collective wisdom and speed processes like status updates.
In meeting rooms and cubicles throughout America, we have a deficit of individuals who are passionate about creative thinking and are not satisfied with the status quo. We are suffering from a crisis in creativity.
I'm often asked about the ROI of Social. While we can (and do) find valuable savings and business results to justify the technology spend, I've yet to see a customer who invested in the cultural spend that didn't realize their ROI in less time and often many times over. Thanks to my dear friend, Maarten Raeymaekers for helping me develop this list...a fine example of "release of ideas" & "reward of insights".
Two significant forces are converging: Technology & Culture. But unlike our past, this time culture is driving the technology. We are faced with chaos, confusion, complexity and crowds in our working lives. Yet at the same time, IBM Verse, IBM Connections, IBM Cognitive and IBM Smarter Work are emerging to offer the clarity, connection, context and concert we need. (This presentation was first given at the New Way To Work Tour event in Chicago. I just presented this to the Social Business Forum in Milan and will be sharing it with the 9 other cities in the New Way To Work Tour this fall.)
Considering becoming a social business. There are a lot of options. As a Worldwide Social Business Evangelist, I speak to execs and managers around the world...people just like you. And here are 3 things I think you should know.

Feeling overworked and under utilized? Can't get anything done because you're too busy? Do you find yourself at the end of the day asking, "What did I do all day? I was busy but I didn't really get any 'work' accomplished? How did that happen?" Then join the crowd. You're like millions of other workers around the world who are in work environments and cultures designed for yesterday's industrial businesses. But there are some great social business principles and solutions that you can leverage to increase your effectiveness, reduce your distractions, and improve your creativity.
Since the advent of the written word, we've been storing our knowledge away in physical and digital containers. And with the abundance of knowledge assets, the container-centric approach has broken. Yet, we seem to continue to insist in doing things the old way. I've seen and experienced a better way to store and access knowledge. It's a people-centric approach that utilizes social smarter work practices and solutions. For more info www.ibm.com/social
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help alleviate symptoms of mental illness and boost overall mental well-being.
The document discusses effective presentation techniques, emphasizing that presentations should focus on the needs and experiences of the audience rather than the presenter. It recommends getting the audience to relive emotions, stopping before losing their attention, using questions strategically, connecting with them, and ensuring both parties enjoy the experience.

Stating specific and measurable objectives for the lessonAyman Elattar
Aims provide general direction for education, goals are more specific statements of intent, and objectives describe what students will be able to do after a lesson. Objectives should be SMART - specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-oriented. Objectives use action verbs and specify conditions and performance standards for assessment. Bloom's Taxonomy organizes learning objectives from basic knowledge to higher-order thinking skills like evaluation and synthesis.
The document discusses creating smart students through high achievement for all. It presents the SMART framework which stands for:
S- See Success: monitor your attitude
M- Monitor and manage
A- Ask questions, be curious
R- Risk take, redefine fear, push yourself
T- Tools for success
It discusses unleashing success through awareness, knowledge, action, and reflective practice. It also discusses controlling your frame of mind and seeing yourself as successful. Attitude hurdles like frustration and passivity are addressed. The document promotes developing a positive attitude to achieve success.
The document discusses common misconceptions around social business and lessons learned. It argues that social is not new, is not a waste of time, and trying to control it will be counterproductive. Most social pilots won't deliver results because people are unpredictable and focusing only on adoption rates misses the real business outcomes that social can provide. The key is using social data's "signal to noise ratio" to separate valuable insights from less useful information.

This document discusses aligning financial incentives across hospital and community care settings through combining activity-based funding and global budgets. Currently, funding policies are not aligned, creating disincentives for efficient patient flow. The proposed option is blending activity-based funding and global budgets for acute and post-acute care separately. While activity-based funding generally promotes volume and efficiency in hospitals, its impact on costs and capacity in post-acute care is unknown. Transitioning patients between facilities also poses challenges under this model.
This document discusses the importance of storytelling in influencing beliefs and selling products or services. It argues that the goal should be to help people believe in something rather than to directly sell them something. Some key points discussed are:
- Focus on having "conversations that matter" by discussing interest, relevance, credibility and confirmation.
- Listen to customers' stories to understand them and look for ways to reshape their story to close the "belief gap".
- Use stories and metaphors rather than facts to make ideas memorable and influence beliefs.
- Ask open-ended questions to draw out customers' perspectives rather than closed questions that can steer thoughts.
- Presentations should design and aim to change cultural

The document discusses how artificial intelligence can help businesses adapt and survive in an increasingly AI-driven world. It notes that just as lions must outrun gazelles or starve, and gazelles must outrun lions or be killed, businesses must adapt to changes or risk failure. The document then outlines four key areas where businesses must adapt to survive: strategy, data, platform, and expertise. It describes how AI can provide superior sight, strength, speed, and intellect to help businesses thrive in these areas by making them more relevant, proactive, agile, and valuable. The document concludes by stating that businesses must adapt their use of AI or risk becoming obsolete, like prey in the ecosystem.
Top ten suggestions for corporate communicators. These have come from three decades of in the field, corporate storytelling to audiences that range from event halls to board rooms. I'll be posting a video of this being shared on my YouTube channel.
It's not a matter of just finding answers. We need to learn how to ask better questions. Add that to Cognitive Computing like IBM Watson and you have a way to help humans make better decisions. A human plus a machine is better than a human or a machine.

A group of smart people spent their time solving problems and came up with the idea to create a machine that could understand language and help humans make better decisions. They focused on designing a system called Watson that could augment human abilities. Watson was eventually developed and taught to help answer questions, and it famously beat human champions on the game show Jeopardy. Since then, Watson has helped people in various fields like healthcare, education, design and more by solving complex problems. The moral of the story is that humans and machines can accomplish more together than either could alone.

Being provocative in your sales efforts is not about being right or even being different. In fact, it's not about you at all. The reason you want to be provocative is to help your client think...help them discover the root of their pain. It shows you care.
El documento propone formas de recuperar el control del día laboral reduciendo el tiempo perdido en reuniones, comunicación con gerentes y correo electrónico. Sugiere usar comunidades en línea, foros y herramientas de colaboración para compartir actualizaciones e ideas en lugar de reuniones. También recomienda que los gerentes dediquen más tiempo a asesorar que a medir el desempeño. Reducir la distracción del correo electrónico mediante el uso de actualizaciones y archivos compartidos podría liberar mucho tiempo.

Factors affecting undergraduate students’ motivation at a university in Tra VinhAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Motivation plays an important role in foreign language learning process. This study aimed to
investigate student’s motivation patterns towards English language learning at a University in Tra Vinh, and factors
affecting their motivation change toward English language learning of non-English-major students in the semester.
The researcher used semi-structured interview at the first phase of choosing the participants and writing reflection
through the instrument called “My English Learning Motivation History” adapted from Sawyer (2007) to collect
qualitative data within 15 weeks. The participants consisted of nine first year non-English-major students who learning
General English at pre-intermediate level. They were chosen and divided into three groups of three members each
(high motivation group; average motivation group; and low motivation group). The results of the present study
identified six visual motivation patterns of three groups of students with different motivation fluctuation, through the
use of cluster analysis. The study also indicated a diversity of factors affecting students’ motivation involving internal
factors as influencing factors (cognitive, psychology, and emotion) and external factors as social factors (instructor,
peers, family, and learning environment) during English language learning in a period of 15 weeks. The findings of
the study helped teacher understand relationship of motivation change and its influential factors. Furthermore, the
findings also inspired next research about motivation development in learning English process.
KEY WORDS: language learning motivation, motivation change, motivation patterns, influential factors, students’
motivation.
