I have just come across Harvard Business Review‘s summary of ideas to watch in 2010. It’s great. Best bits:

• A Charter Cities plug
• It turns out that workers value progress in their workplaces. They like to hit project milestones and get stuff done. Managers don’t realise this.
• Short discussion of green bond financing for ecological building retro-fits.

There is also an ethically dubious encouragement to ‘hack work’. While I think this is valid in some cases, I don’t think it is a model that one should promote. In a good organisation, it shouldn’t be necessary, and the ideas that need to be promoted are those that fix the organisation, not learn to work around it more cunningly.
