Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>Although there's lots of corporate bullshit in what is written in the article linked below (namely, the stuff about self-driving cars), some insights do really standout. </p><p>"For leaders steering their organizations through this turbulent transition, what lies beyond the spreadsheet? It’s everything that won’t fit in a cell: the skills that refuse to be tallied, the open-ended problems with no reliable precedent, the intangibles—trust, taste, and the subtle dimensions of quality and experience—and the conviction to press ahead even when every metric says “wait.” Manage only what you can measure, and you surrender the most valuable ground to rivals who cultivate what can’t be counted. Amar Bose, the sound and electrical engineer who founded the Bose Corporation, proved the point: while others worshipped spec-sheet numbers, he zeroed in on how music sounded to people in real rooms—a quality no existing metric could catch—and in doing so, he rewrote the rules of the audio industry.</p><p>Directionally, the prescription is simple. Back wildcard bets with fuzzy ROI, reward teams that reframe problems and lean into the unknown, and rotate talent through roles that confront uncertainty across R&D, new markets, and complex customer, partner, and policy interactions. Carve out slack time and engineer cross-team collisions to spark serendipity and idea recombination. Treat those pockets of planned ambiguity not as liabilities, but as strategic assets."</p><p><a href="https://hbr.org/2025/06/what-gets-measured-ai-will-automate" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hbr.org/2025/06/what-gets-meas</span><span class="invisible">ured-ai-will-automate</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Automation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Automation</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Quantification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Quantification</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BusinessStrategy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BusinessStrategy</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Rather than using metrics as the sole truth when it comes to assessing academic performance, we should put them in perspective. We could do this by complementing quantitative metrics with qualitative information. Narratives, discussions of assumptions, and explanations can give back much-needed context to interpret metrics. Read a job candidate’s working paper instead of counting her publications in journals. Metrics can be great conversation starters, but should not replace our understanding of what (a) good research(er) is.</p><p>If we don’t change our use of metrics, research quality itself may suffer. Peter Higgs, the Nobel laureate who passed away last year, warned in an interview: “Today I wouldn’t get an academic job. It’s as simple as that. I don’t think I would be regarded as productive enough.” The pressure to produce and perform in the short term can come at the expense of scientific progress in the long term. A more critical stance towards metrics and rankings is essential if we want to enhance the quality and credibility of research."</p><p><a href="https://www.socialsciencespace.com/2025/01/how-research-credibility-suffers-in-a-quantified-society/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">socialsciencespace.com/2025/01</span><span class="invisible">/how-research-credibility-suffers-in-a-quantified-society/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SocialSciences" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialSciences</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Quantification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Quantification</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Universities</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Academia</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HigherEd</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Metrics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Metrics</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Rankings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rankings</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AcademicPublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicPublishing</span></a></p>
