Going hands on to get your arms around Enterprise 2.0

I was not able to attend last month’s Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston. I wanted to pick up on something Andrew McAfee had to say during his keynote there, however. Here’s his set up:

I found myself in an uncomfortable position at the end of my short keynote speech during the Enterprise 2.0 conference yesterday. I got [...]

Bruce Mau on Change (from 2004)

A reminder from Tom Peters to reread (I think, although I apparently didn’t blog it the first time round) Bruce Mau’s Incomplete Manifesto for Change. Worth reading again. Probably worth printing out and stapling to your forehead.

Procrastination, knowledge work, and important problems

[Cross posted at Future Tense]
Paul Graham’s latest essay is getting some play including within the David Allen, Getting Things Done, world where I came across it. Frankly, I didn’t find it one of Graham’s better efforts and you’d probably be better off sticking with Allen’s insights about life and work. I’d boil down Graham’s take [...]

An old look at a new idea - the value of personal knowledge management

(cross-posted at Future Tense)
One of the blogs I’ve been reading on a provisional basis recently is “Inside Higher Ed.” It provides an interesting contrast to the Chronicle of Higher Ed’s Wired Campus blog. Both offer valuable perspective on the life of knowledge work and knowledge workers that goes well beyond their [...]

Thinkers you should know - Alan Kay

(cross-posted at Future Tense)
One way to get a handle on the future of work is to get to know some of those who are already there.
In the recent news about layoffs at HP, several sources noted that Alan Kay is among those getting a pink slip. It struck me that Alan is a [...]

Your workshop for doing knowledge work

Lately, it seems like I’m always running behind.
Had a column go up at ESJ two weeks ago and I’m just getting around to blogging it here now. It is on the notion of thinking about how you might go about setting up a knowledge workshop for your day-to-day knowledge work. I wanted to set up [...]

Corante launches Future Tense - on the future of work

I’ve signed up to contribute to a new blog at Corante that launched officially today. Hylton Jolliffe lays out the premise below. My involvement grew out of a lunch Hylton and I had last month in Cambridge (at Charlie’s Kitchen, a Harvard Square landmark). We’ll be exploring a topic that’s long [...]
