  3. The World is Getting Smarter– Because It Must 40 - 70 percent of electrical energy is lost due to inefficiencies in the grid. In one small business district in Los Angeles alone, cars burned 47,000 gallons of gasoline just looking for parking. Our healthcare “system” can’t link from diagnosis to drug discovery, providers, insurers, employers and patients. Weather-related events inflicted $1 trillion in damage from 1980-2003. Only 22 percent of reserves are extracted from the world’s existing oil wells.

  13. ValuesJam – an in-depth exploration of IBM’s values and beliefs by employees. Results: 72 hours 220K downloads of Values manifesto 1.25 million views to site Set of new core values defined by IBM’s workforce Global Collaboration to Define IBM Values Good discussion about the need for values/principles/beliefs, etc. people can be very cynical and sarcastic about this kind of topic, but I appreciate the thoughtful constructive comments I’m seeing. Personally, I believe “values” should embrace a company’s broader role in the world --with customers, society, culture, etc. - as well as how its people work together.. I hope this Jam elevates IBMs ambitions about its mission in the 21st century.. WE have a unique opportunity for IBM to set the pace for ALL companies, not just the techs.
