1 step to better learning and performance using latest neuroscience research

I am mid-way in the book How we decide? when I started thinking, how I can improve my performance and learning abilities leveraging leading edge neuroscience? This is what I decided based on the evidence provided Jonah’s book.

After a project is delivered do a formal lessons-learned session (with or without your team)- the objective: to find at least 3 things you can improve on the project.

Here is Jonah talking at Google.

Testing your way into obliteration thanks to CPSIA

I came across this good article in Arizona Republic (via overlawyered.com ) on the difficulties besetting small domestic manufacturers due to CPSIA compliance.

• Bumkin, a Scottsdale diaper maker, reports that it spends about 1000 USD for testing each batch of garment it buys and testing costs now contribute 25% of the product cost!

Google launches salvo at Microsoft – Chrome OS

Google announced the launch of Chrome OS. It will run on both x86 and ARM chips
on netbooks. It will be available in the second half of 2010.

They say most operating systems we use today were designed in an era where there was no web. Therefore, they are going to design an OS that embraces the web – a natural platform for browsers like Google Chrome and Firefox.

Google suggests that although the new OS will share some features with Android, they want the market to decide which OS will ultimately win. The exciting news is the OS will be available as an open source product.
