Interesante video sobre Innovación y Emprendimiento. Fue realizado para para el Congreso Interamericano de la Industria de la Construcción, sin embargo genera muy buenos interrogantes con respecto a como asumimos el nuestro rol en la adopción de los procesos creativos, de innovación y emprendimiento.
Aquí, un excelente árticulo sobre Emprendimiento basado en Innovación.
Por alguna razón me hizo acordar de una lectura que tuve como tarea hace un par de años en la especialización. Espero la disfruten
"De bueno a Excelente"

Web Apps Blamed For Rise In Enterprise Security Threat
In its latest report on security threats, IBM found a 36 percent rise in security vulnerabilities. It points to web applications being the main culprit.
Web apps with security weaknesses accounted for 55 percent of these vulnerabilities. Javascript accounted for the biggest threats. There has been a 52 percent rise in 'attacks' in the first half of 2010 - with cloud computing and virtualization bringing its own security threats.
With one third of virtualization vulnerabilities affecting the hypervisor, gaining control of one virtual machine can gain hackers control of other machines on the system.

Cisco CCNA course accelerated further
The duration of the Cisco CCNA course has been reduced from six to five days. This change, and the resultant cost reduction, has been implemented on all domains of the website.
This acceleration has been possible due to Cisco’s realignment of the CCNA, CCNP & CCIE certifications; where they removed material from courses which was no longer required. No courseware or exams are changing.
The overall benefits of this update is that the course is 17% faster than before, the content is even more relevant and it now costs less.

The five-step business continuity plan
Here are five steps that will guide you towards creating your own business continuity plan. It could save your business. Business continuity planning is either viewed as business-critical or a waste of money. But the best-run businesses plan to expect the unexpected. One in four businesses suffer an outage of at least one day. Even more concerning is the fact that this costs £10,000 an hour.
The greatest cost could be a damaged reputation. From the chief executive of BP, to an unpronounceable volcano, we are constantly reminded that crises can happen. We cannot prepare for every incident, but we can ensure that our business continuity plan can conquer all.
The Board.
The aim is to never use a business continuity plan. However, members of The Board can fool themselves into believing it’s not needed at all. Switch on the news, and this may change.
This doesn’t mean shock-tactics are the way forward, but point out what could go wrong if the unthinkable happened. Make The Board feel part of the process, and ensure all input is heard. Providing management with a sense of ownership will really help.
Be prepared.
Your team, at the very least, should include: management, chief security officer, IT and HR. This should strike the right balance between understanding the business and the people.
In preparation for a crisis:
If a crisis takes place, communication is all-important. Your enemy is the rumour mill – tell the story before someone tells it for you.
You should:
More than a billion of us will own smart mobile devices by the end of the year. Taking our work to the small screen could be of massive benefit if faced with a crisis that prevented us from returning to the office. The 'cloud’ is constantly on the agenda. Cloud-based computing allows for all servers and databases to be hosted off-site. This is complemented by virtualization: live migration allows the movement of a virtual machine, while it remains running on the original server. This would allow for a seamless transition in the event of a crisis.
Learn.
Firebrand offers a three-day Business Continuity Training course. You will learn everything about the business continuity management life cycle, and how to manage the situation if your business were to fall victim to a crisis.

In preparation for a crisis:
- Prioritise critical activities to be maintained ahead of all others
- Produce hard copies of important information and contacts
- Backup files regularly; ensure they are available off-site
- Look for inconsistencies and updates
- During a table-top exercise, participants can learn their duties in the event of an emergency, also highlighting any issues
- Create an exercise based on a realistic scenario.
If a crisis takes place, communication is all-important. Your enemy is the rumour mill – tell the story before someone tells it for you.
You should:
- Run regular team briefings – help maintain solidarity
- Ensure the business continuity plan is available for employees
- Brief external parties frequently
- Use web conferencing to ensure remote locations remain unaffected by closures
- Use social media to keep everyone informed in real-time.
