iaocblog :: Virtual Mirror Report Available in IAOC Library

In support of this week's blog show, guest Peter Gloor has made available to us a scholarly article containing the summary findings of the research project we have been discussing. The article is officially entitled, "The Virtual Mirror: Reflecting on Your Social and Psychological Self to Increase Organizational Creativity."

Authors of this work are Peter Gloor, Daniel Oster, Alexander ("Sandy") Petland, and Ornit Raz. Maybe Peter could tell us a little about these other contributors. The article does not contain the authors' biographies or credentials, though it does contain an extensive bibliography of references.

While the paper is academic in tone, it makes use of intriguing mapping software that renders social interactions into colorful grids. The graphics come through nicely in the PDF version we are offering in the IAOC Library. Here is the link to download the report:

Steve,
thanks a lot for posting the paper. My co-authors are Daniel Oster, a graduate student at the University of Cologne and also an employee at the bank where we did the study. Without him being on the ground there every day, this study would never have been possible. Sandy Pentland is Toshiba Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at the MIT Media Lab, and the driving force behind developing the social badges. Ornit Raz is a long-time collaborator of mine, a former Post-Doc at MIT and now CEO of the organic farmer's association in Israel.
Peter
