Blogging

A recent article in the Kellogg alumni magazine showcased a number of professors who shared insights on blogs like the following from David Dronove , a Kellogg professor, ‘At the end of the day, our research doesn’t really matter if it doesn’t change the way the world works. We can have influence by influencing other researchers, but that cycle has to end with something being translated into practice.’

What’s great about what Dranove and other Kellogg professors are sharing is that the boundaries around the wisdom shared at Kellogg is now able to be picked up and implemented by anyone. I keep hammering away to those I speak to and consult with that “this IS The Information Age” but perhaps even more so “The Age of Wisdom.”  As such we have an unprecedented opportunity to take, implement and leverage the 20% that can yield an 80% return.

For those of you who want to dive deeper into the blogs that have been created by the esteemed professors of Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, click away:
