Editorial

The famous phrase blood, toil, tears and sweat was rst uttered in 1849 by Giuseppe Garibaldi whenrallying his revolutionary forces in Rome. Theodore Roosevelt also uttered the phrase in 1897, following his

appointment as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. However, this phrase became well known after Churchillsrst speech to the House after taking over as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the rst year of World

War II. Well probably hear often things like this in the coming months.

La clbre expression du sang, de la sueur et des larmes a t prononce en 1849 par Giuseppe Gari-baldi lorsquil a rassembl ses forces rvolutionnaires Rome. Thodore Roosevelt la galement prononceen 1897, suite sa nomination comme secrtaire adjoint de la Marine. Cependant, elle est devenue mondia-lement clbre aprs le premier discours de Churchill en tant que Premier ministre du Royaume-Uni durant

la premire anne de la seconde guerre mondiale. Nous devrions lentendre souvent dans les mois venir.

Why Iceland should be in the news, but is notSACSIS, Deena Stryker, August 15, 2011

As almost every european country is facing major

nancial risks, the small northern country, Iceland,

should become an example. The nancial crisis rou-ghly hit a country that presented a strong growth sincemany years. While the debt sky rocketed, the Kroner

lost 85% of its value with respect to the Euro. But thiscrisis resulted in Icelanders recovering their sovereignrights.This article (August 2011) explains why european citi-zens should look to Iceland, an example of how andwhy to refuse to bow to foreign interests might rein-

force sovereignty.


How to make money when economy is failingThe Daily Beast, Rob Baedeker, November 21, 2011

Is coworking the new incubator ?Deskmag, Dave Bunnell & Jeannine van der Linden,

November 14, 2011

Paraphrasing Wikipedia, co-working could be dened

as a style of work which involves independent pro-fessionals sharing a work environment; usually in acoworking space. Nowadays, it is not uncommon forco-workers to communicate and collaborate everydaywith others in coworking spaces, online, world widely.This article wonders if coworking is the new incubator.

La gnration Y porte plainte contre XActsense, 25 novembre 2011

gostes, paresseux, intolrants, cest en ces termesque sont qualis les jeunes par un panel de Franais

lors dun sondage ralis pourLe Monde.Manque de conance et incomprhension envers sa

jeunesse ? Signes dune socit vieillissante ?Quoiquil en soit, lauteur de larticle se lance dansun plaidoyer concis mais efcace pour la tolrance et

The sustainability movement: ve trends on

this side of the AtlanticThe Guardian, Peter Madden, November 9, 2011

market maker in environmental standards and regu-

lation.This article gives the few themes the author used in itslast San Franciscos presentation on the latest trendsfor business sustainability in Europe: a root and branchquestioning of capitalism, changing consumers throughbrands, how to integrate thinking on biodiversity intotheir sustainability strategies and the emphasis as onoverlaying digital intelligence on existing infrastructure.

Study nds sustainable companies

signicantly outperform nancially

Business Ethics, Michael Connor,November 14, 2011

When companies embody a sustainable businessimage, CEOs are more likely to be aware of their im-pact in term of sustainability; whereas traditional rms

with compensation based on short-term metrics pushmanagers towards decisions that forget the long-termvalue creation.This article reveals the results of a study led by theHarvard Business School and the London BusinessSchool: companies with a high sustainable businessculture signicantly outperform their counterparts over

the long-term, both in terms of stock market and ac-

counting performance.

Scientists prove telecommuting is awesomeGigaOM, Jessica Stillman, November 14, 2011

Researchers of Stanford set out a study in order tocompare telecommuters with ofce-based employees.This article gives the results of the study. And they areastonishing

La France la trane sur le tltravail20 Minutes, 15 novembre 2011

Frdric Lefebvre, le secrtaire dEtat charg desPME, a annonc lors dune confrence Bercy, que

le tltravail ne concernait que 9% des salaris fran-ais contre 18% des europens. Son dveloppement

juridique du tltravail, une facilitation du recours au

tltravail et une meilleure information des salaris etdes entreprises sur le sujet.

ROWE: the grown-up version of workBrazen, Kelly Gurnett, November 3, 2011

Probably, the way we work is not the best one. Thatsthe premise behind the Results-Only Work Envi-ronment (ROWE) initiative. The authors of the studybelieve the modern workplace is cluttered with regu-lations, expectations and wrong practices that havenothing to do with the actual work were supposed tobe doing.This article details the benets of focusing on em-ployees results only: workers are more efcient,

disruptions disappear, employees get their lives back,adults are treated like adults, the wheat is cut from thechaff and employers win, too.

Presenteeism a growing trend in UK

businessesCMI, Tim Chambers, November 17, 2011

10 components of collaborative intelligenceCMS Wire, David Coleman, November 21, 2011

We all know about Intelligence Quotient and Emotio-nal Intelligence, but very few deals with CollaborativeIntelligence. The thing that makes someone a ne col-laborator is frequently their frame of mind, coupled withprecise knowledge and tools. Realize that tools areenablers, they cant make group work together, theycan just facilitate the relations.

Kinect : La rvolution en marcheDocs News, 8 novembre 2011

Saviez-vous que la Kinect possde le titre de lobjet

lectronique le plus rapidement vendu de tous lestemps ? Huit millions dexemplaires pour le premiermois de vente. Dailleurs, savez-vous ce quest laKinect ?

Cest un priphrique quip de camras et de microsqui permet de jouer la console Xbox sans manette

grce ses capacits de reconnaissance vocale et dedtection de mouvements.Si Microsoft pensait, en lanant Kinect il y a un an,rvolutionner le monde du jeu vido, il semble quil ait

initi un mouvement qui lui a chapp et qui va bienplus loin que le simple divertissement de salon. Eneffet, de nombreux dveloppeurs se sont empars decet objet qui offre une excellente technologie pour un

prix bas et ont fait de belles avances technologiques,parfois avec des applications inattendues.Ainsi, certains lutilisent pour piloter des robots, dautrespour faire de lessayage vestimentaire, dautres pourfaire de la rducation pour les victimes dattaquescrbrales.La dmocratisation de la dmatrialisation de linterac-tion nous fait entrer de faon fulgurante dans une nou-velle re des interfaces hommes-machines.

Separating you and me? 4.74 degreesNew York Times, John Markoff & Somini Sengupta,

November 21, 2011

A conventional wisdom would assert that the explana-tion of the smaller gap between you and me are sum-med up in social media: Facebook friends are bound

to bring us closer together.This article shows that the average number of acquain-

tances that separate two people is smaller than belie-ved: 4.74 not 6.

future of social business.

How social technologies are extending theorganization

McKinsey Quarterly, Jacques Bughin, Angela Hung

Byers & Michael Chui , November 17, 2011

When social technologies are used as an emergingtype of networked rm and incorporated into the way

employees work, they can amplify nancial perfor-mance and market share of the rm. This survey on

the way rms use social tools and technologies reveals

that they keep on seeping into many enterprises, chan-ging business processes and increasing performance.

2012 sera lanne du Big DataSilicon.fr, Yves Grandmontagne, 24 novembre 2011

Immergeons-nous quelques instants dans des chiffresimpressionnants: 9,57 Zettaoctects (10 puissance 21

doctets) dinformations ont t consommes sur le

web en 2008 alors que le nombre dabonns Inter-net en 2010 dans le monde a t multipli par 7 de-puis 2000. Il y a aujourdhui 2 milliards dabonns qui

squipent galement de tlphones mobiles connec-ts. Selon Ericsson, en 2015, 80% des connexions seferont via le mobile. On attend ainsi pas moins de 3,4milliards dabonns 3G en 2015 alors quils ntaient

encore que 500 millions en 2010.Au sein des organisations, cela se traduit par de plusen plus de donnes stocker, ce qui nest ni simple,ni gratuit. La problmatique nest pas seulement co-nomique, mais galement technologique : lentreprise

dispose-t-elle des moyens ncessaires pour squiperet pour administrer ses donnes et surtout pour lesanalyser ? Pour Matt Oostveen, directeur de recherche

chez IDC Australie, la rponse est dans le Big Data.

Le personal branding ou le tout lego ?Ma vie pro, Dom Bochel,

16 novembre 2011

Voici un billet qui dnonce certaines drives du perso-nal branding. Drives qui, comme le souligne OlivierZara dans les commentaires, sont de deux ordres:

- ceux qui sautoproclament experts sans la lgitimitni les qualits ncessaires;- ceux qui utilisent la mthode et les outils pour essayerdlaborer leur glorication personnelle.

Si Olivier Zara partage lanalyse de lauteur de larticle,il ne manque pas de prciser que ces drives restentmalgr tout les exceptions et non la rgle.

La mauvaise e-rputationOWNI, Sylvain Lauthier, 10 Novembre 2011

Voici un article rafrachissant qui remet en cause denombreuses ides reues et relativise lapproche de

le-rputation gnralement faites par les articles trai-tant du sujet. De lobsession narcissique au mythe du

candidat lembauche conduit en passant par la re-

dnition de la vie prive, pouvons-nous prtendre linsouciance numrique ?

The way we teach math, sciences, and

languages is wrongFreakonomics, Sanjoy Mahajan, November 2, 2011

Why the way we teach many subjects, especially

science and languages, is so unsuccessful? Howcould we improve it?Despite lot of hours spent in school, almost each stu-dent remains with a poor level in specic lessons, par-ticularly science and languages.Rather than starting the course with motion in astraight line at constant speed, the author of the ar-ticle estimates that we could explain physics concepts

by estimating the gas mileage of a 747 by droppingcoffee lters - thereby giving the concepts depth andmeaning.

Not only curation but also moderation and

didacticsChallenge to learn, Kasper Spiro, November 15, 2011

Will e-learning become obsolete? Probably not. Cura-tion lters news and helps you to deal with informa-tion overload. Too much information and no learning

experience should be fought with curation, but alsomoderation and didactics. This article explains why therole of e-learning, and the one of its developers mightbecome more important in the short term.
