Capitalism 3.0: An Institutional Revolution In the Making
June 5, 2010

C. Otto Scharmer points to what he calls a "blind spot" in contemporary leadership research: the 
organization and management of attention. He argues that there are different kinds of awareness 
or attentiveness, that different problems require different qualities of or approaches to awareness. 
Leaders who understand this can adapt the structure of their awareness to optimize their 
approaches to specific problems.

"Some people say it's not just (a) leadership (crisis), it’s a civilization crisis, in terms of 
rethinking the way we live and work together…That’s a problem we cannot solve with math. That’s a 
problem we can only solve if we develop another muscle in our intelligence, and that’s the muscle 
of deep self-reflection."
-C. Otto Scharmer

Network-Driven Transportation
November 3, 2009

Today, cell phones are a menace to safe driving, as they distract operators who should otherwise 
focus on the road. Tomorrow, cell phones could actually improve our driving, and help drivers avoid 
traffic congestion, use the road system more effectively, and manage the parking supply. 
Li-Shiuan Peh says that the key to these services are future mobile devices that will have the 
computer power equivalent to today’s large servers in data centers.

Event Host:
Transportation at MIT

"Since all of these architectures will all use meshes of some sort to communicate between devices and 
cars, so why don’t we use them for computing as well? As we add multiple hops…perhaps we could 
actually run some application software on our individual cell phones, on our neighboring cell 
phones and use that as a single big distributor and parallel computer."
