Even seeds may bring you opportunity...

I had an exiting opportunity to read the article of McKinsey with the Chief Economist of Google. I liked one of his major points that in today's knowledge based - world of information it is important to understand analyse and select the information that we need to deal with.

Really, in daily life we had lots of information to read to analyse and most of the time by digging in the wrong destination we may found water instead of oil/gas that we were looking for.

Hence, Mr.Varian point out that if the "sexiest job of 90's was computer engineering" the future is for statics. Because only this people, will assist enterprises to combine, study, select and formulate the information that they will need. He mentioned that this profession will be one of the demanding in business world. I will totally agree with him, it is even now...

Concerning the fact that most of people in business do not want to deal with the math, they want just result and are very to get into the calculation this means that I should go and repeat my statistics :))))

Beyond Reengineering performed by Michael Hammer

I recently had a chance to finish Mr.Hammers' book Beyond Reengineering. It was pleasant activity that I had during the vacation. Reading the book I had an insight that this book is a bit far from nowadays organizations where people, even managers and owners come to spend their time and concentrate on daily operational activities. Hence, I decided to check the date of publication. And when I saw 1996, I was a bit shocked...

Later, I had a chance to read comments on a book and understand that not everything is so bad and we are still not following any organization. It is just author who is visionary consultant who described the model of future organizations. Yeap, elements of his description are currently implementing but, not all. It is nearly impossible to leave staff without the functional and administrative responsibilities chart and provide them process oriented organizations chart which provided Mr. Hammer. They will just get lost in it. Since they found lost of blank areas on it.

However, today I read that Mr.Hammer died at his 60 in 2008. Sad...
