The Tripod Mindset (TM)
Summary There are individual, organizational, and societal human and technological approaches available today.

Hope, Living with Uncertainties, and Tolerance for Ambiguity
Summary. In the light of uncertain future threatening outcomes, present ambiguous information often is interpreted more negatively than it would be the case in a safe context.

Individuals’ dependencies on hierarchical power can cause closed mental systems that are … Continue reading

Summary. The increasing number of expatriates reflects the need for multinational enterprises (MNEs) to compete in a global knowledge economy. Despite high pressure, mobility program cost management practices are often weakly formalized.

The youth’s resourcefulness, e.g., in digital media, could be used for backward/reverse mentoring to engage senior … Continue reading
