    It doesn’t compute started by johnkellden
    Increasingly, businesses need to deal with wicked problems. When trying to solve them, they frequently discover other problems, which need to be solved. And so on and so forth. Not very forth really, more like muddling through. One might also say, that our chosen solutions are co-evolving with the problem space. Now and then we […]
    Err on the side of… part 2: Winning & Punishment started by johnkellden
    Winners simply don’t. Except when playing Wii, of course.

    Science Daily 2008 March

    Individuals who engage in costly punishment do not benefit from their behavior, according to a new study published in the journal Nature by researchers at Harvard University and the Stockholm School of Economics.

    Dobedo language, part 6: Knowledge started by johnkellden
    No uncontested definition exists. The previous sentence one chunk of human knowledge. If an individual can access fifty thousand chunks of knowledge, this can be seen as a sign of expertise.

    The Dobedo approach is a bit agnostic, recognizing the value of multiple, partially overlapping, complementary definitions of knowledge. The following five
    Dobedo language, part 11: Rethink started by johnkellden
    Affordances, Values, Ideas, Sources of inspiration, Core Competencies, (collective) Intelligence, Social Computing, Patterns & Grids & Legends, Insights, Time, Narratives & Risks, Interpretations, Innovations & Sensemakings, Business Models, Captures.

    Beyond Free started by johnkellden
    A great blogpost from Mashable, including snippets from Steven Hodson, Scott Karp and Alexander van Elsas:
    What is the solution proposed to counteract ad-based FREE?

    Micropayments, functionality and content behind pay-walls, of course.

    What I see as the main obstacle for the new business models and the new creation of value in the Ad2.0 world, is the trouble […]
    Dobedo language, part 10: Cloud started by johnkellden
    Throughout all the hooha about virtual, web [insert number here].oh, social and other assorted schmizniz, it’s easy to spot the future. To successfully track the cloud, follow the hardware.

    And, yes, Nicholas Carr is mandatory reading:

    Dobedo language, part 9: Supply Demand started by johnkellden
    Instead of those thingies, you might want to experiment with inserting your own optimal mix of metadata, generatives, platforms, patterns & exception handling. If you do a good enough design effort, you’ll get asymmetry, reciprocity and growing value out of the transactions, the flows, the conversations themselves.

    Dobedo language, part 8: OODDAA started by johnkellden
    One of the most powerful ways to not only manage complexity, but harness its dynamics for your own benefit, is to intervene through slightly tweaking your organizing metaphors.

    OODDAA, a Dobedo tweak and extension derived from the more commonly known OODA loop.

    The letters stand for Observe, Orient, Design, Decide, Adapt & Act.

    Now, to elaborate a bit, […]
    Dobedo language, part 7: Society 2.0 started by johnkellden
    Social & societal entrepreneurship

    Why?

    A combination of traditional institutions no longer able to adequately

    fulfill the increasingly dynamic, multidisciplinary, nationborder agnostic

    social needs and awareness of the citizens, and a growing grassroots

    connectivity among generation Y.

    What?

    Ok, so you’re a Marketer. You’re in luck. No need to follow Bill Hicks’ advice any longer. Now, instead, you can unlearn. Stowe Boyd:
    Big thanks to Christopher Kenton, at Marketonomy, who interviewed Stowe.
    Traction started by johnkellden
    The friction between a moving entity and its environment.

    An idea beginning to take hold.

    Like nutritious organic food.
    From A to B, part 1: the lure of the underground started by johnkellden
    Once in a while it seems like taking the tube is a good idea. After some deliberation, you decide which station is closest to you, and after some maneuvering, succeed in entering the netherworld. Having oriented yourself a bit where you want to go and found a seat, you then relax for a bit, followed […]
    Org Think, part 6: Creativity started by johnkellden
    Mean, green, lean opportunity capture machine

    In the conundrum of whether to change the diet, whether to approach future businesses as a mean, green, lean opportunity capture machine, or being satisfied with incremental improvements in the business cuisine, the org think now comes into its own, having reached the point in the org life cycle where […]
    Org Think, part 5: Culture started by johnkellden
    With a bit of flab, yet reasonably content, the org think now plods along happily interacting with stakeholders and market. This inevitably produces a mess of things.

    Let’s call it organisational culture. Eighty percent of all docs more or less unstructured, and the other twenty only looked at if absolutely necessary, and perhaps better that way, […]
    Org Think, part 4: Character started by johnkellden
    Wolfing down only the most select choice

    This organisational wining and dining, charting a course between watering holes, means the organisation now begins to establish certain relations, out of which emerges a more or less set organisational identity. If the character have grown both strong and refined, from having wolfed down only the most select choice […]
    Org Think, part 3: Network started by johnkellden
    Come and get it while it’s fresh.

    Only slightly ruffled from the onslaught of novelty, the org think now proceeds to turning all selected info into intelligence, into business intelligence. In umwelt language, digesting the raw info into organisational nourishment, into spotting windows of opportunities. Again, two principles at work.
    Org Think, part 2: Novelty started by johnkellden
    Having a deal flow, establishes the company at a certain market.

    This means a pretty much ongoing stream of heterogeneous flow of potential business opportunities. To make matters a bit more complicated for the org think, these would be opportunities are somewhere in a big pile of info. Here, there’s again two principles at work, observable […]
    Org Think, part 1: Numbers started by johnkellden
    How an organisation thinks is primarily reflected in the numbers.

    Spreadsheets, scores, metrics, accounting, financial records etc. All of these numbers originates within a value network, the part of the market that interacts with the organisation. From where I sit, this can be described as the organisational Umwelt. By this I mean all aspects and components […]
    Navigare necesse est… started by johnkellden
    How do you catch a wave?

    Could it be, that a market is simply a flow of heterogeneous opportunities?

    And an org. a set of rules, heuristics, with which it tries to capture some

    of these opportunities coming its way?
    Certainty & agreement, part 3: cohesion started by johnkellden
    Organisational culture is a mess. Part of which is both necessary, and a good thing. This is so, due to at least two dynamics. If we look at the organisation as if an entity, it needs a certain amount of mess, of internal complexity, due to the principle of requisite variety.

    If we look at the […]
    How-to, part 1: work with me on this… started by johnkellden
    How can we work together, to make people’s lives better?

    Product Innovation?

    Social Object?

    Something awesomely cool?

    How?

    Let’s face it - individually, we are clueless.

    Which means I need your help. Your feedback.

    Monetizing, part 2: product & social object started by johnkellden
    Successful monetizing consists in crafting and exploiting a proper creative tension, between the product and the social object.

    Too close, and you end up with a boring product, too far apart and none save for the pioneers will get it.

    More and more, the perceived value of the product, is no longer residing in the product an […]
    Monetizing, part 1: belief & desire started by johnkellden
    Desire produces reality.

    Desire produces reality. Experienced reality. Everything else is an abstraction. Belief and desire is the basis, not only of all markets, but of all of our needs and all of society as well. Eg, when we decide to buy something, the decisionmaking is always based upon some sort of resolution between gut […]
    Certainty & agreement started by johnkellden
    Simply put, there’s a fundamental paradox necessary for any market to function.

    Markets exists far from certainty and far from agreement. The agents in a market, companies and organisations need to be organized fairly close to both certainty and agreement. In order to remain viable in the market however, they need to be as close as […]
    Social Computing, part 2: Incremental bricolage started by johnkellden
    People outside of big orgs have access to better, more innovative tools, than employees inside have. This is changing, fast. If it were only about the social tools, and user base, this might well be a winning combo:
