» Managing research = Aligning passions

Managing research sounds like an oxymoron. How do you manage creativity? How do you manage the creativity of N researchers, where N=1,10,100,...? How do you manage people so that their total output is not just the sum of the individual contributions, but reaches the full potential of the team? Managing research is not easy, but I find an important guiding principle for managing research is aligning passions. Specifically:
  • Align the passions of researchers with an important need.
  • Align the passions of researchers with their teammates.

» Aliens invade 3GSM Barcelona

In an earlier post I said that a group of creative researchers in my team are demo-ing a Mediascapes game at 3GSM 2007 in Barcelona. Here is a brief description of the game written by Phil Stenton of the HP Labs Mediascapes team: Aliens have invaded Barcelona in HP Labs’ latest mediascape experience. Now you can enter the comic book world of science fiction with the aid of science fact from the mScape team. Armed with the HP iPAQ 5900 Travel Companion, you can save the planet by rescuing the only man who knows how to defeat the invaders. Free him from his alien captors and help him eliminate the digital shift that is the source of the aliens’ power. Read on for more details...
