This column deals with some aspects of change management processes
experienced almost in any industry impacted by the digital revolution: how to
select, create, gather, manage, interpret, share data and information either
because of internal and usually incremental scope - such learning, educational and
re-engineering processes - or because of external forces, like mergers and
acquisitions, restructuring goals, new regulations or disruptive technologies.
The title - I Changed My Mind Reviewing Everything - is a tribute
to authors and scientists from different disciplinary fields that have illuminated
my understanding of intentional change and decision making processes during the
last thirty years, explaining how we think - or how we think about the way we
think. The logo is a bit of a divertissement, from the latin
divertere that means turn in separate ways.
