Crayon on paper: colored between a Wednesday and a Monday by The Unthinkable Mind students. University of Wisconsin-Madison. Taught by Lynda Barry
Assignment: Use plain old crayons and color three images with the intent of getting as much of the crayon on the page as possible. Color for one hour in silence, one hour listening to a WPR interview with Iain McGilchrist on hemispheric differences of the brain and then coloring while doing something else like watching a movie or talking to friends or listening to music or eavesdropping in a cafe or re- listening to a WPR interview with Iain McGilchrist on hemispheric differences of the brain. Can something as simple as coloring a picture increase our ability to sustain an open sort of concentration and remember more of what we’ve heard?
Answer: Doodling and the default network of the brain (Lancet)
and also this: “Doodling may help memory recall” (BBC) -

3 social forces that make social business compelling - Changing expectations / consumerization of IT – People are bringing innovative consumer devices to work, with dramatic impact on people’s expectations of the way they use technology and the way businesses use technology. New expectations are emerging from the “social” customer while employees are looking for a new level of engagement at work. Expectations from both sides require a new way of getting work done.
- Doing more with less –The relationship of labor force growth to productivity started to change in the mid-2000′s — as labor force growth slowed productivity continued to rise through automation. Although we’re not there yet, over time this type of productivity gain is likely to slow as well. At that point, increased productivity will come from the shift to an engaged, empowered and collaborative work paradigm.
- Systemetizing ad hoc work – Exception processing for business decisions and customer service is a whole area of work that cannot be automated by current systems of transaction. The person or a group of people getting the work done will often require specific data and a system to support the decision process for work at hand.
