,,Die Zeit des Einzelk?mpfertums ist endgültig vorbei.“
Network heisst Teamwork
In einer extrem sich vernetzenden Welt wird unser vorherrschendes Denken zum Bremsklotz. Moderne digitale Komplexit?t l?sst sich mit Kategorien des Wettbewerbs, der Einzelleistung, der Hierarchien und der Expertenkultur nicht mehr erfassen, schon gar nicht beeinflussen. Was wir brauchen, ist ein neues Denk- und Handlungskonzept. Die Welt des Network Thinking ist gepr?gt von Kollaboration, kreativer Verknu?pfung von scheinbar nicht Zusammenh?ngendem und vor allem von Enthierarchisierung.Doch wie und wo wird sie gelebt?
Dieses Buch ist eine ungew?hnliche Roadshow zu den innovativsten Orten und Menschen rund um den Erdball. Dorthin, wo vernetztes Denken schon handlungsleitend ist. Es gew?hrt erstaunliche Einblicke hinter die Kulissen von grossen Unternehmen, die den Brockhaus-Modus abgelegt haben, aber auch von kleinen Unternehmen, die ihn gar nicht erst praktiziert haben, sondern im Network Thinking-Modus bereits enorm erfolgreich sind. Das Fazit: Die Zeit des Einzelk?mpfertums ist endgültig vorbei, unsere von digitaler Vernetzung gepr?gte Welt braucht erlernte Teamorientierung, die als Haltung vor allem auch in unserer Bildungslandschaft ihren Platz finden muss.
,,Netzwerkdenken statt lineares Denken“
Ulrich Weinberg über Network Thinking
Ulrich Weinberg
Ulrich Weinberg ist Leiter der School of Design Thinking am Hasso-Plattner-Institut in Potsdam, dem europ?ischen Pendant der d.school in Stanford. Er gilt als der deutsche Vordenker im Network Thinking, Vernetzer von Denk- und Arbeitskulturen und begleitet Unternehmen und Organisationen auf der ganzen Welt in digitalen Transformationsprozessen.&
,,We all have a sense that there is a big change happening. And: the rate of change is increasing. The question is, how fast the structural shift happens and how fast can WE change. For those who can start to make that shift, they will find that the flourishing effect is going to unfold as very magical. If you stay in Brockhaus-model, either in the way you think or educate your children or do your work, then the compounding effects will be negative.“

In Australia the Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA) grant licences for the broadcast, communication or public playing of recorded music.
In a decision by the Copyright Tribunal on the 17th May 2010, the fees for sports centres across Australia have been raised from 96.8c per class on the fitness timetable (capped at $2,653.64 per year) to $15 per class with a phase in period over 5 years.
This rate is not an economically viable rate, and therefore the fitness industry has responded by resorting to cover music so as to avoid the high fees. Alongside the tracklists is a checklist of the licensing status of each track and whether it can be used by instructors at a gym not licensed with the PPCA.

History for balance
The first meaning of the word balance was “an instrument used to weigh things.” Some weighing instruments have two small pans on either side, into which equal amounts must be placed to keep the beam that holds the pans from tipping. The English word balance came from a Latin word that meant literally “having two pans.” This Latin word, bilanx, is a compound of bi-, “two,” and lanx, “dish, pan of a pair of scales.”
