Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
Mark Fields, Ford Motor Company.
Esta frase que preside la central de operaciones de Ford transmite que la cultura de una organización es más potente que las estrategias que se intentan implantar. Si bien es cierto, no es más verdad que las estrategias pueden acabar con las culturas organizativas.
Es por ello que es tan importante tener clara la misión de nuestra organización y una visión de a dónde la queremos llevar. La implicación de todos los miembros y la alineación de los objetivos personales de cada uno con los objetivos organizacionales es la que determinará el éxito en el medio y largo plazo.

In addition to the narrow focus of academic research, another problem arises from the quest to publish numerous papers quickly, with only incremental novelty, to achieve tenure or promotion. This frenzy leads to thousands of theses and dissertations annually that offer solutions to either toy problems or nonexistent problems.

Browsing randomly I arrived to a great commercial from NAPCAN and I wanted to share it. It’s old, but it’s worth the minute and a half you’ll take watching it.

Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It’s not about money. It’s about the people you have, how you’re led, and how much you get it.

«¿Por qué en España tenéis los mejores futbolistas de Europa? Porque os gusta el fútbol y lo amáis, pero también porque invertís y aceptáis los futbolistas extranjeros cualificados. ¿Por qué no hacéis lo mismo con la educación? España debe dejar de quejarse de la fuga de cerebros y de Bolonia y actuar, moverse».

There’s another side to it. The too-stupid person will just run off and, without a second thought, do something wrong. The too-smart person will sit down and plan something right, without taking any action. A pragmatic programmer is sort of in-between; he knows making the wrong decision 1 out of 10 times doesn’t hurt the goal as bad as making only right decisions 5 out of 10 times, and making no decision at all the other 5 times.
