4Ps Vs 4Ps: A reflection on innovation.

Principles for organisation to be successful agent of innovation. Emphasise on 4Ps before 4Ps. To put: 1. People before process.  Big organisations have tons of processess in place. Even in small organisation, some processes are put in place in the name of efficiency. But people's needs and potentials differs. So do events in real world, they are unpredictable, volatile. Be prepared to let go processess when faced with peculiar or unpredictable situation. 2. * Public before profit *. Any venture fixated on making selfish gains will stagnate or fall out of favor. Sincere, egalitarian effort to improve the experience of public or end users will be valued, will have resilience and higher chance to prosper in thr long run. 3. * Perspectives before production * rushing to solutions without understanding the whole problems tend to fail. Get as wide perspective of the phenomena as possible before rushing to produce solutions. 4. * Peculiarity before predominance *. Appreciate peculiarity,

STOICISM: PEMANGLIAN TAMADUN ERA VUCA

Terbaca tentang stoicism. Kisah Seneca, sang penasihat nero, dan Aurelia, sang maharaja adil yang melupakan cinta hidupnya. Mungkin bijak pandai zaman ini terperangkap dengan falsafah ini?

Shiva melontarkan pandangan bahawa redaksionisme bukan hanya menjadi asas kepada teknologi keganasan perang dan kapitalisme liar, bahkan ia adalah ideologi ganas yang merobek keilmuan manusia melalui politik epistemologi. Beliau menyatakan keganasan yang dilakukan oleh redaksionisme ada dalam empat bentuk: Keganasan terhadap subjek ilmu Keganasan terhadap objek Ilmu Keganasan terhadap penerima ilmu dan keganasan terhadap ilmu itu sendiri.

Reductionist conditioning through peer reviewed Academic Journals.

I see academicians proudly post the acceptance of their papers in q1q2 journal on their fb wall with pride.  It is my believe, the more you publish in this manner, the more your mind are being conditioned with reductionist habit. In short, im sorry to say, the chase for meeting career advancement requirement in academia is actually is a dumbing down process where brilliant minds are trained to operate only on fragmented scale.
