October 8, 2019 by Daniel W. Rasmus Leave a Comment

Serendipity and Milton's First Folio The First Folio of Shakespeare's work ranks among the rarest of books. Only about 230 copies survive. One copy of the Folios donated to the Free Library of Philadelphia included long ignored marginalia.

Why Micah Zenko’s “Red Team” Lives in The Serendipity Economy

November 19, 2015 by Daniel W. Rasmus Leave a Comment

I was listening to a Hear & Now interview with Micah Zenko, author of Red Team: How to Succeed By Thinking Like the Enemy. It struck me that many of the issues related to terrorism and cyber-attacks stem from the propensity of those working in the management of intelligence systems. Managing systems that require security do so under industrial age economic models … [Read more...] about Why Micah Zenko’s “Red Team” Lives in The Serendipity Economy

I've already documented that when the government invests time in thinking big thoughts, we become … [Read more...] about Desperately Seeking A New Natural Satellite or Renew the Space Race and Find Our Adventurer’s Soul

Dan at 2012 KMWorld: ‘2012 KMWorld Conference: A social, interactive view of KM’

March 29, 2013 by Daniel W. Rasmus Leave a Comment

In his presentation on "The Serendipity Economy," strategist and author Daniel W. Rasmus drew a distinction between industrial age measures of productivity, which focus on predictable outputs and process improvements, versus the creation of value that cannot be defined or predicted in advance but deserves equal consideration. In the same way that having an office next door to a … [Read more...] about Dan at 2012 KMWorld: ‘2012 KMWorld Conference: A social, interactive view of KM’
