In networks, cooperation trumps collaboration | Harold Jarche - 0 views

  • network
  • a form in itself that can address issues that the three other forms could not
  • Chaordic refers to a system of governance that blends characteristics of chaos and order.
  • Wirearchy: a dynamic multi-way flow of power and authority based on information, knowledge, trust and credibility, enabled by interconnected people and technology.
  • Collaboration is only part of working in networks
  • Cooperation is also necessary, but it’s much less controllable than our institutions, hierarchies and HR practices would like to admit.
  • In networks, cooperation trumps collaboration

  •  
    Quote obtained by Jonathan for the laser and detector system, the optical fiber-based, to replace the PDLD version. We'll try two versions.

    This is a pigtail laser, they have at 1310 and 1550nm. Nice for our modular designs of the Mosquito.

    Found by Jonathan, we'll order two versions to try, this replaces the PDLD system, a better system uses a circulator, which is much more expensive.

The New Sacred « Dynamics of Myth - 0 views

  • The question then becomes about special content, and adoption of that content.
  • driving adoption of a mythology with values
  • We have to both overcome the hold of the old mythology and gain adoption of the new. What drives adoption of a meaningful cultural phenomenon?

  • the shared Christian story during the Renaissance
  • Church, artists, businesses and consumers all contributed to the great rebirth of culture
  • largely driven by the church and government institutions which we don’t necessarily want to recreate, right?
  • So how do we achieve the same effect?
  • The answer is sacred content.
  • I adopt what I believe in, and if the content is sacred, then it is beyond question.
  • An authority has determined these are sacred and therefore worthy
  • The Authority establishes a values framework, a ruling hierarchy directs and stewards the sacred content, and a host of intermediaries that carry it out to the faithful consumers.
  • We now have a strong distrust of authority, which has lost all legitimacy:
  • All around us there’s a collapse of the legitimacy of authorities, with much cynicism from the population. There’s never been a greater need for sacred content that can be trusted and deemed legitimate. How to achieve it without authorities? This is where we have to pivot our minds. We have to replace the dynamics of its creation within the authority with something else. This slide suggests an alternative:
  • We can create a values framework using collaborative culture techniques like community mythology projects. Out of these come sacred content that is legitimate because we created it according to shared values and a collective conscience. We have to put in place processes and rituals to establish, enshrine and communicate it.

Votorola - 1 views

  •  
    Votorola is social software in support of non-party primary elections and public rule making. We develop the tools to enable a radically free democracy based on unrestricted voting, drafting and discussion. Our alpha prototypes cover everything from voter registration in electoral districts to consensus making, and we lead the field in design, theory and inventions.
