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.

How to make people managing their intellectual property and claim their money
[...] In this article I explain why I believe time has come to introduce in the copyright law - and implement in the practice of collecting and distributing royalties thanks to data mining and other big data technologies - a syndication right as an universal way to realise in the digital market space long established principles of attribution and reproduction[...]

- 4.7 | July 2015: Transparency is the new privacy. Part 2: Accountability
About public procurement, policies and information security
[...] I understood that for the last almost eight years I had been producing an entire portfolio of innovative ideas that my fellow librarians, geeks and communication experts, particularly active in Government, in libraries and in the media sector, kept on monitoring, spying, copying, gossiping and sharing (without my consent) and above all most of the time misunderstood, simply because they preferred to copy or laugh at me instead of asking me if was not the case to do some work together [...]

Do scientists and GPs have the right information to fight antibiotics resistance?
[...] The existence of confirmation bias among scientists doctors and healthcare professionals in respect of our antibiotics consumptions and self-prescription needs is an educational problem of the same relevance of the patients' ignorance about types of infections, hygiene, antiseptics and bacteriostats.

About an application for british citizenship and a stakeholder pension

I did make something that can be perceived as insanely anomalous and risky. But actually, it was a decision carefully and confidently planned even if within an uncertain framework, as it always happens with all sort of novelties.[...] Nobody really wins anything if I lose the right to live, to work and to have my stakeholder pension transferred here from another European country whereas we all have to fight new, unbelievable cross party battles for equality and democracy. That starts with the right to vote where you live.

The legacy bias in medical records - if we can put it this way - is that history is paramount and gives credibility to the assessment. The legacy bias in financial records is that velocity is paramount and the latest insight about clients records and their transactions gives an advantage
