USING GAME THEORY – WHICH ASSUMES THAT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING OUT FOR WHAT IS GOOD FOR THEM.
By: Bruce Bueno de Mesquita
Speaker: Professor Bruce Bueno de Mesquita
This event was recorded on 21 October 2009 in Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building
Hailed as ‘the new Nostradamus’, Bruce Bueno de Mesquita has been shaking the world of political science to its foundations with his predictions of world events. His systems based on game theory have an astonishing 90%+ ratio of accuracy and are frequently used to shape US foreign-policy decisions on issues such as the terrorist threat to America to the peace process in Northern Ireland. Considered by many to be the most important foreign-policy analyst there is, it is no surprise that he is regularly consulted by the CIA and US Department of Defence. In this lecture Professor Bueno de Mesquita will look at what is needed to reliably anticipate and even alter events in any situation involving negotiation in the shadow of the threat of coercion. He will demonstrate how to bring science to decision making in any situation from personal to professional.

Innovation Summit: Langdon Morris part 2
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle
Innovation is the process of creating new ideas and turning them into new business value.
This book is about how to achieve it, so get it at Permanentinnovation.com by Langdon MorrisPermanent Innovation is the process of doing it continuously, as a matter of strategy, method, and habit. It happens in organizations that embrace innovation as a core value, practice innovation as a core methodology, and produce innovation as a consistent output. Permanent Innovation is thus a strategic and human process much more than a technological one, and we achieve excellence at it through thoughtful repetition of the right methods.
The notion of permanent innovation may at first be startling, and it may even seem to be a contradiction. The concept of permanence implies stability and the absence of change, while the concept of innovation implies constancy of change and novelty. Combining these two, however, yields an important synthesis: the practice of innovation not as an occasional occurrence, but as a repeating process of value creation and organizational adaptation.
Permanent innovation thus contrasts with random, intermittent, or one-shot innovation processes, none of which are sufficient for today’s markets, and none of which are the basis for the excellence we aspire to. In these times of accelerating change and increasing competition, Permanent Innovation, with a focus on the human dimensions of innovation, is an absolute necessity. Its principles are contributing significantly to the success of leading companies around the world.
