Opis

In this book I describe the environment in which we live and organizations operate. It is an environment that has been shaped significantly by computing in the past decade and is going to be even more so in the future. From this standpoint I will review some of the latest research in human psychology, neuroscience, and organization in order to identify ways for computing to address the restraint of fear. Next, I share my theory and vision for computers to assist organizations to become more energized, meaning that they will have the necessary abilities to survive and to succeed. Energy in this sense is the unleashing of human and organizational potential, but it is also about using computing in revolutionary new ways; for humans and computers to work autonomously and in some cases "bend time." Finally, I take the energized organization and add the strategic mind on top of it. The mind in this case is a combined human and computer effort; it is up to the leaders and managers to exploit computing to its very limits and to its full potential.
