Part 1 of MIT Professor Sandy Pentland presenting at the Reality Mining Future Salon: Understanding Information Flow In The Mobile Corporation bit.ly/aoB7JD

Abstract: Mobile phones, laptops, and other digital devices form a network of sensors, recording their user's location, time, who else is nearby, as well communication patterns. We can `reality mine' this data to better understand and predict human behavior within the corporation, and improve coordination, job satisfaction, and productivity. In more than a dozen case studies we have found that this `reality mining' approach to management often uncovers dramatic possibilities for improvement in both job satisfaction and productivity, by allowing more effective combination of face-to-face and digital communications.

Plus interesting questions from the Future Salon audience.
