Reinventing the MBA
Posted by Charlie in Education, Leadership on November 10th, 2009
Just picked up this tweet from Fast Company; Reinventing the MBA: 4 Reasons to Mix Business With… Design Thinking http://bit.ly/2MXsZr
I am in the middle of teaching an Operations & Production Management class and this article brings some fresh thinking into the world of OSM. Short, but great read!
Update on class schedule
My class schedule changed and is now Mon — Wed — Thu– Fri. We elected to split the Fri class into two sessions.
Having a great time, but will have a better understanding in 4 weeks when mid-term exams roll around.
World Metrology Day
Posted by Charlie in Calibration, Education, Metrology on May 20th, 2009
Happy World Metrology Day (May 20th) - A day to celibate!
Did you remember (or even know) that May 20th had been declared World Metrology Day? The dedication was made at the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 2000 to commemorate the signing of the Metre Convention on that day in 1875. This Treaty aimed to provide a formal basis for international agreement on units of measurement based on the metric system.
It seems, though, that the great day is set to pass with little notice being taken by the majority of the population who, the governors of the measurement world assert, should be celebrating the good work done by you and your peers. But from evidence garnered by trawling the world-wide web during the past week, scant attention is being given to the matter even by the national metrology institutes (NMIs) http://www.agilent.com/metrology/news20050520.shtml
For Prof. Andrew J. Wallard, Director of BIPM, Metrology Day insightful message see: http://www.worldmetrologyday.org/Directors_Message.html
