I'm delighted to finally have to book out, and to be able to begin blogging about it. In addition, this site collects many of my older writings, from which many of the themes of the book arose. chokladbollen Wed, 07 May 2008 14:42:00 GMT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-centric_organization A network-centric organization is a network governance pattern emerging in many progressive 21st century enterprises. This implies new ways of working, with consequences for the enterprise’s infrastructure, processes, people and culture. With a network-centric configuration, knowledge workers are able to create and leverage information to increase competitive advantage through the collaboration of small and agile self-directed teams. For this, the organizational culture needs to change from one solely determined by a command and control, rule-based hierarchy to a hybrid structure which supports loosely-coupled, self-managed teams to make cooperative decisions through the sharing of knowledge. chokladbollen Fri, 18 Apr 2008 09:08:52 GMT http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/howtolaunch 37signals recommends that software developers pursue what they call the Hollywood Launch. They don’t give any argument for this method, except perhaps the title (as if Hollywood was a business you should try to imitate?) — I guess the idea is that you’re supposed to do it since 37signals says to. chokladbollen Wed, 18 Feb 2009 08:37:58 GMT http://www.shirky.com/ NEC@Shirky.com -- Networks, Economics, and Culture NEC is a mix of essays written for the list, essays written for other outlets, drafts of ideas I’m pursuing, and reader commentary (re-printed only with permission, of course). The list will be very low volume, with an approximately twice-monthly frequency, and the contents will also be archived on shirky.com. <<management>> chokladbollen Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:26:55 GMT http://www.news.com/8301-13953_3-9902586-80.html?tag=nefd.lede Now that Yahoo has finally and officially signed on to the OpenSocial API bandwagon (see Techmeme), the company that Microsoft might buy has joined with MySpace.com and Google to create the OpenSocial Foundation. Facebook is still missing in action, considering whether joining the OpenSocial Foundation is in the best interests of its membership--or its own platform. OpenSocial provides a useful piece of functionality, solving a developer problem by allowing applications developed with the APIs to run on different services without modification--write once, play many. A photo-sharing application could tap into the social graphs of Orkut, Bebo, MySpace, Ning, or other services without any code changes. chokladbollen Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:35:19 GMT http://www.wikihow.com/Virtualize-Your-Workforce Enterprise Mobility: The ability for an enterprise to communicate with suppliers, partners, employees, assets, products, and customers irrespective of location. <<management>> chokladbollen Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:21:27 GMT http://www.wikihow.com/Virtualize-Your-Workforce Enterprise Mobility: The ability for an enterprise to communicate with suppliers, partners, employees, assets, products, and customers irrespective of location. <<management>> chokladbollen Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:27:38 GMT http://members.aol.com/wergames/ahptrprn.htm <<management>> chokladbollen Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:25:33 GMT http://members.aol.com/wergames/ahptrprn.htm <<management>> chokladbollen Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:30:20 GMT http://agonist.org/ian_welsh/20061009/the_art_of_measurement I want to talk a bit about management measurement. I’ve spent a number of years now in a good sized multinational, and I’ve watched management trying to gain control through measurement. And mostly I’ve watched as they’ve gained the wrong sort of control; as they’ve crystallized behaviour in ways that lose more from employees than they gain. chokladbollen Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:28:59 GMT
