La ESARQ es una escuela dedicada exclusivamente a impartir la licenciatura en arquitectura. Estamos ubicados en la Colonia Lafayette y participaremos en este 8 y 9 de diciembre en EL CORREDOR CULTURAL LAFAYETTE.
En la ESARQ tenemos un proyecto llamado Visitas Arquitectónicas con diferentes recorridos o rutas coordinada por el Arq. Óscar Núñez Arellano quien ha participado en diversas publicaciones especializadas en arquitectura como escritor y como fotógrafo de las cuales se destacan las siguientes:
«Manual de Uso Lafayette» Publicado por el Hotel Demetria
«Guía Arquitectónica de Guadalajara» Editado por la Secretaría de Cultura de Jalisco
«Jalisco, 100 Años de Arquitectura » Publicado por la Academia Nacional de Arquitectura, Capítulo Guadalajara; Secretaría de Cultura de Jalisco, Secretaría de Desarrollo Urbano de Jalisco y el H. Ayuntamiento de Guadalajara.

Estos recorridos intentan hacer de conocimiento general la riqueza cultural que se encuentra en nuestros alrededores, la fragilidad del tejido arquitectónico y el gran valor patrimonial con el que contamos.

san francisco studio upwell design (justin porcano) have created ‘wallplates’, a series of functional covers which adapt to most
of the existing standard holes of light switch plates. presented at new york’s ICFF 2012, the simple object adds practicality
to one’s domestic space through a simple hook design which accommodates keys, umbrellas and other small hanging items,
as well has provides a ‘pocket’ to store mail, bills or notes.

Why Innovation Dies

Posted on May 1, 2012 by steveblank

Faced with disruptive innovation, you can be sure any possibility for innovation dies when a company forms a committee for an “overarching strategy.”

—–

I was reminded how innovation dies when the email below arrived in my inbox. It was well written, thoughtful and had a clearly articulated sense of purpose. You may have seen one like it in your school or company.

Skim it and take a guess why I first thought it was a parody. It’s a classic mistake large organizations make in dealing with disruption.

The Strategy Committee

Faculty and Staff:

We believe online education will become increasingly important at all levels of the educational experience. If our school is to retain its current standards in terms of access and excellence we think it is of paramount importance that we develop an overarching campus strategy that enables and supports online innovation.

We believe our Departments play an essential leadership role in the design and implementation of online offerings. However, we also want to provide guidance and support and ensure that campus goals are met, specifically ensuring that our online education efforts align with our mission, values and operational requirements.

To this end, we are convening a Strategy Committee that is charged with overseeing our efforts and accelerating implementation. The responsibilities of the group will be to provide overall direction to campus, make decisions concerning strategic priorities and allocate additional resources to help realize these priorities. Because we anticipate that most of the innovation in this area will occur at the school/unit level we underscore that the purpose of the Strategy Committee is to provide campus-level guidance and coordination, and to enable innovation. The Strategy Committee will also be responsible for reaching out to and receiving input from the Presidents Staff and the Faculty Senate.

The Strategy Committee will be comprised of Mark Time, Nick Danger, Ralph Spoilsport, Ray Hamberger, Audrey Farber, Rocky Rococo, George Papoon, Fred Flamm, Susan Farber, and Clark Cable.

A Policy Team, which is charged with coordinating with the schools/unit to develop detailed implementation plans for specific projects, will report to the Strategy Committee. The role of the Policy Team will be to develop a detailed strategic framework for the campus, oversee the development of shared resources, disseminate best practices, create an administrative infrastructure that provides consistent financial and legal expertise, and consult with relevant campus groups: and the the Budget Office. The Policy Team will be led by two senior campus leaders, one from the academic side and one from the administration side.

We are extremely pleased that Dean TIrebiter has accepted the administrative lead role of the Policy Team. Dean Tirebiter brings to this position a deep knowledge of the online environment.  He will be helping to identify a member of our Faculty to serve as the academic lead of the Policy Team.

The Strategy Committee will be meeting for a half-day retreat at Morse Science Hall in the coming weeks to begin work. We will be sending out an update to faculty and following this retreat, so stay tuned for further updates.

Sincerely,

President Peter Bergman

We Can Figure it Out in A Meeting
The memo sounds thoughtful and helpful. It’s an attempt to get all the “right” stakeholders in the room and think through the problem.

One useful purpose a university committee could have had was figuring out what the goal of going online was.  It could have said “the world expects us to lead so lets get together and figure out how we deal with online education.”  Our goal(s) could be:

• Looking good
• Doing good for all [or at least citizens of California]
• Doing well by our enrolled students
• Fixing our business model to fix our budget crisis
• Having a good football team – or at least filling the stadium
• Attracting donations
• Attracting faculty
• Oh and yes – building an efficient, high quality education machine

But the minute the memo started talking about a Policy Team developing detailed implementation plans, it was all over.

The problem is that the path to implementing online education is not known. In fact, it’s not a solvable problem by committee, regardless of how many smart people in the room. It is a “NP complete” problem – it is so complex that figuring out the one possible path to a correct solution is computationally incalculable. (See the diagram below.)

If you can’t see the diagram above click here.

Innovation Dies in Conference Rooms
The “lets put together a committee” strategy fails for four reasons:

1. Online education is not an existing market. There just isn’t enough data to pick what is the correct “overarching strategy”.
2. Making a single bet on a single strategy, plan or company in a new market is a sure way to fail. After 50-years even the smartest VC firms haven’t figured out how to pick one company as the winner.  That’s why they invest in a portfolio.
3. Committees protect the status quo. Everyone who has a reason to say “No” is represented.
4. Dealing with disruption is not solved by committee. New market problems call for visionary founders, not consensus committee members.

My bet is that there will be more people involved in this schools Strategy Committee then in the startups that find the solution.

In a perfect world, the right solution would be a one page memo encouraging maximum experimentation with the bare minimum of rules (protecting the schools brand and the applicable laws.)

 Lessons Learned

• Innovation in New Markets do not come from “overarching strategies”
• It comes out of opportunity, chaos and rapid experimentation
• Solutions are found by betting on a portfolio of low-cost experiments
  • With a minimum number of constraints
• The road for innovation does not go through committee

Por un país libre

Sentimientos de la nación

by admin –>

1.- Que México sea libre e independiente de cualquier poder que atente contra este interés, venga del exterior o del interior de su tierra, y que así se sancione, dando al mundo sus razones.

2.-Que el pensamiento de cualquier habitante del país sea considerado, en sus diversas formas y expresiones, sea cual sea su dinamismo y procedencia, tolerando cualquier diferencia ideológica y sin prejuicios. Siempre con respeto

3.-Que cada mexicano tenga derecho a la representación de su conveniencia, y que exista una rendición de cuentas de la misma ante la gente.

4.-Que los poderes Ejecutivo, Legislativo y Judicial ejerzan para el bien del país, dejando a un lado intereses particulares, con congruencia, con honestidad, con transparencia, con verdadera vocación de estado y recordando en todo su momento el juicio que la historia deberá de hacer.

5.-Que los gobernantes no pretendan traspasar el poder para intereses partidistas cuando sus mandatos acaben, que recuerden que el cambio de rumbo es esencial siempre y cuando sea decisión de los habitantes.

6.-Que los gobernantes dejen de servir a sus partidos y comiencen a servir al interés nacional del bien común, el desarrollo, el progreso, la mejora de vida de los mexicanos y el buen posicionamiento internacional del país.

7.-Que los intereses extranjeros queden suprimidos por la premisa del interés nacional, que en este contexto se refuerce la cultura del mundo en los ciudadanos sin olvidar las raíces que nos conforman.

8.-Que se castigue a quien atente contra los derechos del humano, contra el suelo mexicano y contra el bien común.

9.-Que las leyes generales comprendan a todos sin excepción de grupos, corporaciones y asociaciones privilegiadas.

10.-Que la información no quede esclavizada al beneficio de pocos, que sea parcial, veraz , que no haga distinción de la diversidad de opiniones y que la única substancia que pueda calificar al mexicano sea su vicio o virtud y no el juicio individual de los comunicadores.

11.-Que no se admita la persecución de ideas y que reine por sobre todo la expresión de las mismas siempre tomando en cuenta el derecho ajeno.

12.-Que no se permita calumniar las manifestaciones de voces libres e informadas, que no se trastornen los hechos, que no se esconda la realidad, que no se oculten los reclamos, que no se acallen las quejas, que no se engañe con soluciones, que no se prometan utopías, que no se planteen propuestas suavizantes y que no se persiga la creatividad del reclamo.

13.-Que México se libere de la opresión, la violencia, la corrupción, la insensatez, la política ficción, la traición, que se supriman los intereses que tienen atrincherados a los gobernantes, a los empresarios, a los ciudadanos, a los jóvenes y que México sea el país que debe, puede y quiere ser.

132.-Que México renazca y sus voces sean escuchadas para convertirse en el país del mundo.

Educación, ciencia y desarrollo.
Construyamos juntos un nuevo modelo de país.

Bienvenidos a esta herramienta electrónica de interacción ciudadana para la construcción de la propuesta de Andrés Manuel López Obrador referente a la educación, ciencia y tecnología.
 

Este proyecto, tiene el objetivo de consolidar una plataforma pedagógica orientada en la política social, así como en una nueva estrategia de desarrollo de la ciencia, tecnología e innovación.

 

Te invitamos a conocer las bases de este proyecto, así como a participar con tus propuestas y comentarios.

Sí bien no me gusta lo que personalmente comunica Andrés Manuel López Obrador, sí me gusta lo que expresan muchos de los integrantes del equipo que está en el PRD.

Todos los partidos tienen gente muy talentosa, y gente que lamentablemente se cuela y su desempeño es lamentable.

Talvez el reto de muchos de los que quieren representarnos, radica en negar nuestra cultura de corrupción. radica en crear un entorno nuevo que favorezca otras condiciones de intercambio, de soluciones bien diseñadas donde los que de algún patrimonio se han hecho no disminuya y quienes no lo tienen puedan acceder a crear un futuro.

Es probable que necesitamos dejar de ser representados y debemos comenzar a ser los dirigentes dueños de nuestro futuro.

Pero sobre todo que todos podamos vivir mejor en todos sentidos.

Por que tenemos muchas oportunidades debemos de participar más allá de la crítica, más allá de los partidos. Con u solo propósito. Un México con futuro. Un México para nuestros hijos, un México capaz de convivir y compartir riqueza.

Me importa que estemos mejor.

Culture eats Strategy for Breakfast

by Ryan Rieches on Sep 20, 2011 2 Comments

Management guru Peter Drucker got it right as he clearly understood that corporate culture is an incredibly powerful factor in a company’s long-term success. No matter how good your strategy is, when it comes down to it, people always make the difference.

So how do you create a great culture?  Does it just happen or can you shape it?

You have to first define your culture and most importantly – you must live it and protect it. Living it begins at the top. If people don’t see the executives living and displaying the corporate values that they expect others to live by, the end is near. The problem is that most companies don’t take the concept of defining their values seriously enough. Often they go through the process of identifying values they feel are necessary, but really these are just empty words that don’t mean anything. They check the box and move on. What a waste of time. Or worse, sometimes corporate values are selected as a strategy to “rally the troops” and are really manipulative in nature. This concept can cause resentment and backfire completely.

We find that the best corporate values are those that are personalized and reflect the true beliefs of the company. Above all, avoid standard one word solutions like: integrity, honesty, ethical, teamwork, etc. The best solution is when the values are clearly understood so they truly influence how people make decisions and behave on a daily basis. It is important to remember that values do not drive the business; they drive the people within the business. Values must be internalized by the people in the organization to have meaning.

As part of our process in helping companies develop their core guiding statements of Purpose, Vision and Mission – we often evolve and clarify an organization’s values to reflect their culture. Many clients prefer to keep their values internal and not publish them externally. To illustrate our beliefs, I’ll use an example that many people are familiar with. Zappos CEO, Tony Hsieh, and his team represent a great example of how corporate values can drive business success. Take a look at their viewpoint in words, photos and video.

Zappos Family Core Values – What puts the Zap in Zappos

“As we grow as a company, it has become more and more important to explicitly define the core values from which we develop our culture, our brand, and our business strategies. These are the ten core values that we live by:”

1. Deliver WOW Through Service
2. Embrace and Drive Change
3. Create Fun and A Little Weirdness
4. Be Adventurous, Creative, and Open-Minded
5. Pursue Growth and Learning
6. Build Open and Honest Relationships With Communication
7. Build a Positive Team and Family Spirit
8. Do More With Less
9. Be Passionate and Determined
10. Be Humble
