Presentando el libro Smart Cities en Santander, Gijón y Barcelona.

En 2011, cansados de escuchar la palabra crisis decidimos pensar out of the box, y concebir un proyecto que ayudase a situar a ciudades y empresas españolas en los foros más relevantes de discusión sobre el futuro y el crecimiento sostenible. El proyecto se materializa eligiendo un tema: smart cities, y la comparación de más de ocho ciudades de tres continentes en las que están incluídas tres ciudades españolas: Málaga, Tarragona y Santander. Este trabajo en equipo, con el patrocinio del Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros de Comunicación, y de Accenture España en alguna de sus fases, se ha presentado en los foros más relevantes del mundo en planificación urbana, política local e innovación administrativa en Baltimore y Tweente (Holanda) en 2013, en Varsovia, Lisboa y Shaghái (Fudan) en 2015 y en Tarragona, Qatar y Lisboa en 2016.

La semana entrante presento los resultados de este trabajo en forma de libro, escrito en castellano en:
Santander,
Lunes 20, a partir de las 9:30 de la mañana, con ocasión de la Jornada Futuro en Español, de Vocento, en colaboración con CAF (banco de Desarrollo Latinoamérica y Caribe), que se celebra en día 20 de junio en Santander en el diálogo (diálogo programado a las 13 horas) que seguirá a la ponencia titulada Modelos de innovación en ciudades inteligentes e inclusivas, a cargo de Alfonso Vegara.

The miracle of Irene Natividad: Global Summit of Women, Warsawa 2016

I attend this week the Global Summit of Women 2016, in Warsawa, Poland. Once again this event is energizing, full of amazing women, generous to share their knowledge, and experience with other women, and the brave men, many CEOs, attending the conference. Numbers of women attending add up to three ceros, over one thousand from 73 countries from all over the world. I spread the word of my new released book on smart cities, may collaborative work with COIT in Spain and of Camilo José Cela University.

The miracle of Irene Natividad and Margarita de Cos

Global Summit of Women is a miracle, made up each year by @INatividad and @GlobeWomen. Irene is an truly amazing and strong woman I first meet some years ago, back in Madrid. Then she headed the first opening of the Madrid Stock Exchange ever made by women. Thrilling, yes, as she is. Margarita de Cos is the head of the Spanish delegation @GlobeWomen, and a great leader and model of all of us.

Global Summit of Women 2016 Warsawa Dr. Olga Gil

Asia, as part of Eurasia

During the summit I am having great opportunities to build up ties with China and Japan, countries that interest me a lot. From China, I meet Cyindy Cheng Yang, CSO from Focus Media, and Lu Dai, News Director and Union President from Shanghai Oriented Webcasting. I learned a lot from Huang Wenlin wisdom, chief of the China Association of Women Eterpreneurs. I really enjoyied talking at the table together with impresive chinese business women Jayjun, Sunny, and Ayilaile.

From Japan

From Japan, I have meet Hijiri, Kiyoka, Keiko -from Deloitte- Machiko, Mahoko, Minori, Naoko, Reiko, Yuyiko Tanaka, from the Japan Women Ingeneers Forum and I.N.O. corporation. and I stablished great contacts with a university and a bussiness school. Both institutions are interested on my work on smart cities and to stablish ties with UCJC university in Madrid.

Testing the ground for the new and very innovative academic programms at Universidad UCJC

At the Global Summmit I have been testing the ground for the new and very innovative academic programms at Universidad UCJC.

Think, Create, Discover and Communicate. Future is here.
A unique bilingual summer program (Spanish/English) in Madrid, at Camilo José Cela University.

This is pre-university Humanities, Science and Technology course, designed for a generation facing a world immersed in a process of drastic changes -16-18 year-olds. The pre-university course is held in campus and living at the university residences, in Madrid outskirts, from June 29th to July 13th.

For this course we have seek *very* motivated young people interested on:
– How emerging technology affects our fundamental experience of humanity.
– How information online compilation systems are changing radically our concept of privacy.
– The radical changes on classical concepts of communications, progress, war, culture, politics, work and knowledge taken place today.
– New technology is creating new humans and new ways of communicating.
– These new humans will be, at the same time, the developers of new discoveries in science and drivers behind the development of new technology.

Why this course? And how our university differenciates from others!

Generations born in an entirely digital environment have to decide where they will take communications, robotics, environmental research or the exploration of outer space. Today´s youth will define progress in communications technology and what are the priorities of human kind: men reaching Mars, developing apps, the creation of a robot as -a dream of science fiction for decades and alquimia for centuries.

Based on the cross-cutting nature of knowledge today and its impact shaping the future, this two week summer programm “Humanities, Science and Technology: Think, Create, Discover”, allows students to:
– ´Tackle different aspects of what will be their world with a strong base on communications, interpersonal, and Media communications.
– Learn from the major conceptual changes facing their generation.
– Develop skills related to technology and creativity in a practical and fun way.
– Visit firms, with industry professionals to get to know the most innovative initiatives that blend Humanities, Science, Technology and Communications,
– Develop a rich network based in Madrid, open also to opportunities to practice Spanish lenguage while starting over contacts with Madrid as focal point of reference for Latin America and the whole Hispanic world.

The course will is complemented with cultural and sporting activities in campus at Camilo José Cela University in Villafranca del Castillo. I particularly love the horse riding club.

Humanities, Science, Technology & Communications summer course gives pre- university students, age 16-18 year old, a great opportunity to acquire the tools and skills that will set students apart from their entire generation.

Just in case you are interested in the Humanities, Science, Technology & Communications summer course, I leave you the name of the contact persons below.

Manuel Castells Holberg Lecture on Power, State, Development, Freedom and Democracy.

In 14th November a nation wide strike has been called upon in Spain. We are dropping the meetings with firms that we had that day in the capital, Madrid, and preparing alternative classes to cover our due work with students.

For student purposes, we will be working on the programm as usual, tapping into issues having to do with State, develpement and democracy.. We will also cover issues having to do with power and freedom -as related to development. We will do so by listening to this video where sociologist and political economist Manuel Castells covers these issues when receiving what is know as the Nobel prize for the humanities: the Holberg Prize 2012. This is the video, and following it, you might find the questions we will be addressing:

Please prepare answers to these questions, addressed by Manuel Castells in his speech. Try to answer in three lines maximum each of the questions –maximun one printed page. Bring the page to the next class for discussion and to hand out to the professor:

1. What role does the State play, according to Castells?
2. How does Castells defines power?
3. How do Castells defines globalization?
4. Is globalization as we know it a choice, according to professor Castells perspective?
5. What does Castells means by the concept mass self communication?
6. How do you explain the concept of swinching power used by Castells?
7. Are social movements free under Manuel Castells view and why?
8. How are communities created in society according to Pr. Castells?
9. How many current crisis idetifies Castells? Please, name them.
10. What is the level of trust in governemnts, political parties and politicians in countries nowadays, according to Castells? Does he names any exception?
11. What does fatigue democracy means for Pr. Castells?
12. How would you explain the public policies aimed at facing the crisis worldwide?
13. What is your subject fo research and what may you apply from Castells approach to your particular research? Any insight?

Diseñando programas de formación y motivación para empresas, con dos vueltas de tuerca más

Me contacta una empresa importante, del ámbito de la gestión sostenible y las infraestructuras. Pregunta qué incorporaríamos al diseño de un programa de formación y motivación que tenga que ver con las nuevas tecnologías y la web2.0. La empresa encuentra que las herramientas de la web2.0 son uno de los clivajes que definen diferencias importantes entre los gestores con mayor experiencia en la empresa, y los jóvenes que se incorporan a los equipos. Necesitan un programa de formación inclusivo, y que muestre los retornos de este tipo de entornos.

Resulta cada vez más sencillo explicar las bondades de las redes sociales en el ámbito empresarial. Empresas como Dell refuerzan su altamente rentable canal de outlet con aproximaciones más suaves, generando conversación y logrando que se incrementen los índices de confianza de los clientes. Empresas que dudaron desde sus cuarteles generales de los réditos de las redes se sitúan entre las que más seguidores tienen en Twitter, dos ejemplos: SonyPictures o SonyPlayStation –esta última supera los cien mil seguidores. En España también hay ejemplos.

Pero démosle dos vueltas de tuerca más: ¿Es posible extrapolar qué cambio suponen estas herramientas colaborativas hacia un enfoque que va más allá de la productividad de los equipos y del compromiso con el cliente? Incluyamos 1) el gasto energético necesario para generar negocio, plateemos la posibilidad de reducirlo, y 2) echemos un vistazo a modelos que además pueden suponer nuevas formas de generar energía, de manera distribuida.

Indudablemente desde estas cuatro ópticas vamos a tener posibilidades muy interesantes de generación de crecimiento y riqueza, y de maneras más sostenibles.

El capitalismo distribuido

Las redes sociales y el trabajo colaborativo representan un cambio importante en el modo en el que producimos y nos relacionamos. Comenzamos a ver consecuencias de magnitud, producidas por estos cambios, tanto en empresas como en instituciones. Desde la cercanía y el foco en el cliente o en el ciudadano a productos, servicios o innovación fruto del crowdsourcing. Es evidente que los cambios en los modos de producción suponen cambios de gran calado en la economía.
Sin embargo, los cambios anteriores y de objetos que se incorporan a nuestra vida cotidiana, como la tableta digital, el e-book o los videojuegos, ¿suponen oportunidades de crecimiento que nos permitan superar el cuello de botella económico en el que estamos inmersos a nivel global? Creo que la respuesta es no.
Por ello el modelo de Silicon Valley es limitadamente válido hoy día. Al menos si como medida de validez tomamos la creatividad, la creación de empresas innovadoras inspiradas por una Universidad de referencia, la incorporación del capital semilla, el éxito en los mercados de masas, o la democratización del microchip. No es suficiente.
Hay un elemento cualitativo que nos permitiría hablar de cambio cualitativo, y tiene un componente adicional a los que en décadas pasadas han sido claves para el éxito: la producción de energía.
¿Podría ser el paso a la generación distribuída de energía ese cambio cualitativo? ¿Y cómo lo definimos? Consistiría en el desplazamiento del centro de control sobre la producción y distribución energéticas de los grandes gigantes empresariales centralizados, centrados en combustibles fósiles, a millones de pequeños productores que pueden generar esa energía en sus viviendas, locales y coches. Pequeños productores que podrían comercializar los excedentes a través de redes infoenergéticas de dominio común. Jeremy Riffkin nos presenta el modelo en “La Tercera Revolución Industrial” editado en castellano por Paidos. Será interesante ver si en efecto, el los años venideros el poder lateral y distribuido logra transformar la energía, su producción y el mundo. De ahí el título del post: el capitalismo distribuido.

DHL convoca un concurso abierto para innovar en logística de las ciudades

En momentos en los que se están replanteando las bases de modelos energéticos en todo el mundo, un mercado en el que están interesadas las empresas de ingeniería civil, las de telefonía, las empresas de microchips (sensores), las de informática evolucionadas en consultoras… es evidente que aun nos faltaba un posible actor en la ecuación: Las empresas de logística.

Entender qué actores son importantes en el mapa futuro de los modelos energéticos nos ayudará a dibujar las posibles alianzas entre los actores de la industria.

Y un ejemplo de la importancia de empresas de logística reclamando su posición de actores en la ecuación de los nuevos modelos energéticos es el concurso convocado recientemente por DHL: Global Open Innovation Competition on City Logistics. Las bases son las siguientes, y como el plazo está abierto hasta el 28 de noviembre, también es una invitación a los interesados para que participen:

— Encourages innovative, creative and “Green” ideas to minimize the impact
of logistics in urban areas
— Available to applicants in the U.S. and abroad

DHL, the world’s leading international express shipping provider launches an “Open Innovation” competition focusing on “City Logistics” — the process whereby private companies optimize logistics and transport activities in urban areas while considering the traffic environment, the traffic congestion and energy consumption within the framework of a market economy.

The contest, introduced by the new global DHL Solutions and Innovations (DSI) division, invites businesses, academics, politicians, public authorities and citizens to share ideas and recommendations for the implementation of sustainable logistics solutions in populated, urban areas. Encouraging the use of creative and strategic thinking, DHL is seeking innovative ideas that will help reduce traffic congestion, promote “green” urban living, improve urban logistics and deliver efficient transport solutions.

“With growing cities all over the world, the challenges of city logistics and urban living are becoming more and more demanding,” said Steffen Frankenberg, Vice President at DSI. “Solutions for decreasing traffic and getting cities greener are crucial for the future. DHL knows that the logistics industry plays a significant role and we want to broaden our approach to City Logistics by also inviting people outside the company to contribute their perspective. With the views of others we can better identify the challenges and generate ideas for new logistics solutions. We are asking participants to really think outside of the box.”

Open Innovation is a concept that encourages businesses to incorporate ideas gathered from both external and internal sources as a method to advance their technology. The theory has been used commonly in the automotive, technology and consumer industries, but DHL is the first logistics provider to adopt Open Innovation in an effort to further develop, in a collaborative and innovative way, its concept for City Logistics and minimize the impact of its business on the environment.

The DHL Open Innovation competition focuses on the following categories:

— Logistics efficiency in urban areas: How can logistics flows of goods
and services be improved in and out of urban environments? What future
logistical challenges can be anticipated and what kinds of solutions can
be developed to respond to these challenges?

— Green city and urban living

What defines a truly green city and what does it take to become one? What are the key challenges a city faces in the coming decades, and what kinds of regulations must be adopted to face these challenges?

— Digital logistics

Which IT solutions could improve logistics with respect to traffic management, traffic prediction, warehouse management, etc.? What are the innovative criteria behind these potential solutions? What are smart next-generation IT solutions?

The DHL Open Innovation competition is available online, where ideas and experiences are submitted and discussed in an open forum. Submissions may be entered at www.dhl.com/citylogistics-oi from now through November 28, 2011. A jury of experts from different fields and backgrounds will evaluate the submissions in December and name the winners of the contest in the first quarter of 2012. Contest participants are eligible to win flight and travel accommodations to DHL Solutions and Innovations City Logistics locations in Europe, Asia and the Americas as well as gift cards and internships with DHL.

On aesthetics, back to the classics.

Are democratic values taking a different form today? While this is a contencious assertion, changes are happening in societies were the inteligenzia is not a powerful ilustrated elite anymore. For several decades the elite worldwide had a limited interests in education, local culture and technology. And these three education, local culture and technology where embraced by groups from the middle and lower classes as a way to prosper, to get a job, to keep their local culture and networks alive, or just to play games.

An unexpected consecuence is that developments from these groups are enlightening the globe as ever before. However, while these groups have keys to knowledge and a wider view –perhaps shared with Einstein– they are not the depositaries of wealth.

On the contrary, some of these grougs are suffering and to great extent paying for contemporary global crisis. Crisis were the modes of production and laws underpining it are changing dramatically, and a a result, economies are suffering.

Crisis in which cleavajes structuring politics are moving along new lines. It is a general crisis of politics -from parties inspired in XIX politics, to trade unions and entire economic sectors-, A crisis of laws -such as copyright, and a crisis of values.

Within this context I watch with astonishment democratic green leaves growing up from Persia to the Mediterranean and up to Islandia. And some wonder whether history is moving back to the Eufrates, Egipt and the Athens Axis:

Islandia is crowdsourcing its new constitution. Meetings of the council are streamed, instead of broadcasted and in a Facebook page. When the draft is finished, the referendum is expected at the end of July 2011. No further ammendments from Parliament are contemplated after referendum –Members clarely showing their role as servants of voters instead of masters. According to Thorvaldur Gylfason, profesor of Economics at the University of Iceland and member of the Council, the idea of having citizents to collaborate is due to the fact that they will be the ones validating the process through referendum.

Spanish citizens are using the web to contest politicians doing S.XIX politics in a XXI century. They are asking for rights back from May, Sunday 15th.

Is all this a follow of the Arab Spring? What are the forces pushing for change, and what the networks preventing it? Interesting years for historians and political scientist to watch.

Haciendo empresa #open #data

Con redes como Linked In que alcanca los cien millones de usuarios registrados en el mundo e incluye perfiles tan variados como 997.000 maestros, 1030 chocolateros, 74 artistas que rinden tributo a Elvis y un “susurrador de martinis” incorporados a la red… Con un nueve por ciento de los miembros en la comunidad de alta tecnología… con Twitter celebrando su quinto cumpleaños…

Jeff Weiner, CEO de LinkedIn dice que tienen un millón de nuevos miembros de LinkedIn cada semana  -un profesional por segundo-, la red social  profesional se utiliza en más de 200 países.  Todas las compañías Fortune 500 tienen ejecutivos en LinkedIn –EBay, Amazon.com y Cisco se encuentran entre las empresas con más usuarios.

Veamos las regiones del mundo, encontraremos curiosas correlaciones entre crecimiento económico y crecimiento de la red social LinkedIn. La lista de miembros de Brasil crece a una tasa de año-sobre-año de 428 por ciento. México tiene una tasa de crecimiento del 178 por ciento y la India tiene una tasa de 76 por ciento. Se puede conectar con la misma facilidad con alguien en Sao Paulo o México como pueda con sus colegas en San Francisco, Londres o Benidorm.

En vista de estos datos 1). ¿Sirven de algo las redes sociales? Y si sirven ¿Cuando sirven bien y cuando no? 2). Cómo es posible que las bolsas de conocimiento especializado lleguen a entrar en contacto con pequeñas empresas avidas de responder a los retos de un mundo en cambio en el que las reglas del juego están cambiando radicalmente. O en lenguaje de los economistas ¿Como podemos bajar los costes de transacción y hacer más transparente la información en los mercados? 3). Y desde un punto de vista más filosófico; este nuevo espacio social ¿Como cambia nuestra forma de aprender? Para debatir sobre estos temas y otros relacionados con el aprendizaje, contamos con un #encuentro compuesto por expertos y pequeñas empresas interesadas en su conocimiento.

Participantes confirmados: – Jean Charles Blondeau – Alfonso Bustos – Chris Tonge – Cris Ramón. Y el amable apoyo de Amelia Partners Sports&Marketing, Ejaso Abogados de Internet, MGC Protocolo global para negocios universales, y Expresarte, capacitando a lideres del siglo XXI para comunicar mejor, que han hecho posible el proyecto en los momentos más delicados –esta en una empresa non for profit.

TicWisdom #open #data project

We have set up a new enterprise based on open data. It will be presented in the following months in an international congress which has already invited us to attend. The idea comes from a trip I made to wide my sight in May 2010. The project had the help of @jeancharles and the inspiration of @piscitelli. Last week we got new sponsors, and opened up a discussion upon on the model to build it under open data premises. We got a new brand name, TicWisdom, out of democratic choice among the founder team.

As Negroponte did, we find innovation sexy and enlightening.  This is taking us more than expected because we are discovering and amazed by the fact that people might like to capture and own words just for the pleasure of others not to use them. We suggest policy action should be taken to avoid market ineficciencies based on a non use of an scarce resource such as the unused names of web sites. You find us at www.ticwisdom.com and @ticwisdom. New documentation on the project will be shared by the end of april 2011 at TicWisdom Slideshare.

This project is inspired by #websci10 Congress

Where Tim Berners-Lee presented the results of his work on open data in Raleigh, North Carolina in May 2010. And as such, we do not mind sharing our data, managed by @jeancharles. It is also inspired by seminars held at FutureWeb Congress, conducted by Lee Rainie and Danna Boyd. It is also rooted on the work and models several experts, professors and business men have work on: Scott Bradner, Eric Fink, Nathaniel James, Joe Karaganis, David S. Levine, Carl Malamud, Rupert Murdoch, Haib Sabam, Caroline Wilson -I had the occassion to talk or listen to in the east coast- as well as talks with Alejandro Pisanty and the Spanish lawyers Pedro J. Canut and Ignacio Herreros. Whitout their inspiration this enterprise in the making would not had been possible.

The values underlying the firm are for the most part still unknown

And if so, not shared in most of the old world economies, formerly known as developed economies; as I explain in an article commanded by Economia Exterior and published in August 2010.

This is a non for profit initiative

The business model is based on #crowdsourcing #open #data #crowdfounding, and -since I am involved a anothe very big tech/contents proyect those cove my  dollar side 😉

I Invite you to see it

and forward it to whoever you might think is interested soon when the team has voted on the new name and the whole renewed concept: You may also click here at the end of april for new updates and detailed documentation.

Who we are

The team involves over 30 people now, working in a non for profit basis and two of them with a 300 euros allowance a month- and three business sponsors from march 23th -and growing- At the moment there are two being Lawyer Firms, specialized on Internet law settlements and the other being Amelia Partners, focused on sports and marketing, with base in China, Miami and Spain. Thank you for your support, please do help us to go global and accesible :-) You might write me if you are interested in funding or details from april 2011.

We are not in a rush, and we are not looking for money.
Thank you for sharing your comments and ideas with us down here.

I also want to acknowledge the work of people and institutions that are on the avan garde of the new economy today… the list follows: (more…)

Modelos colaborativos para compartir arquitectura y patrimonio

Izq. a dcha: @immaginoteca e @terapiasurbanas de @ecosistema www.ecosistemaurbano.com

Muy interesante el encuentro ayer ocho de noviembre con el equipo de Ecosistema Urbano, presentando un proyecto de arquitectura en abierto bajo licencia Creative Commons. Echad un vistazo a las fotos, con sonrisas en el primer día de frio otoñal en Madrid.

El equipo de Ecosistema Urbano, Domenico di Siena y Michael Moradielos, son dos de sus miembros, apoya sus planteamientos de trabajo en una idea de construcción y desarrollo de redes. Su canal de telévisión, por ejemplo, cumple entre otras esta función. Despues de este encuentro en la carpa de Smart Urban Stage en Madrid he continuado mi investigación sobre espacios colaborativos en web para compartir arquitectura y patrimonio.

He encontrado EcoArchWiki, un wiki que es un repositorio de edificios ecológicos, en distintos países europeos, en el que han participado algunas universidades con el patrocinio de la Unión Europea. El Wiki es interesante porque permite la participación del público mediante votación, comentarios y posts. Este es un ejemplo de ficha tipo para una casa ecológica.

¿Que le falta a este espacio? Desde mi perspectiva, la posibilidad de integrar información sobre empresas que pudieran estar interesadas en los proyectos, la posibilidad de integrar información sobre proveedores y empresas locales (desde hoteles para visitas de las instalaciones a otras informaciones), y la posibilidad de evaluar mediante algun método la importancia de la información referenciada. Por ejemplo, una nube de etiquetas nos permitiría ver de forma gráfica en qué dirección creción el proyecto de wiki colaborativo, y que partes quedaron sin explorar. Y por supuesto, los planos de las obras acometidas, que no se incluyen.

¿Alguna idea interesante sobre cómo integrar estos elementos que me interesan? Te invito a compartirla en abierto en los comentarios :-)
