Commons

Garett Hardin 1 had – volgens velen – het laatste woord over de commons in zijn essay uit 1968, “The Tragedy of the Commons” 2.Aan de hand van het voorbeeld van grazende koeien betoogde hij dat iedereen die zijn eigen belang nastreeft altijd zou leiden tot overexploitatie van de gedeelde hulpbron. Elke winst die we…

Samenwerken als Ecosysteem

De omschrijving ecosysteem voor een samenwerking kan misleidend zijn. De verschillende activiteiten die de deelnemers dienen uitvoeren, bestaat uit een stroom van informatie, beslissingen, acties, risico, voordelen en waarde, die bij een ecosysteem begrensd of toegeëigend kan worden aan ‘het ecosysteem’. (Zie hierbij ook het concept van FEP). Indien de vermelde stromen in essentie ruimer…

Samenwerking en Ecosystemen

Deze aanpak van de meeste contracten bestaat uit het uitbesteden van opdrachten zonder bijzondere aandacht aan gestructureerd overlegorganen voor gemeenschappelijke beslissingen. Deze werkwijze is terug te voeren op een inzicht in de geschiedenis van “Near-Decomposability”.Herbert Simon is een van de iconen van Near-Composability, een beheer- en bestuur methodologie, die grondig uitgewerkt is een veelvoud management-methodes.…

Long live the Queen (he/his)

The red queen is well knwon, and drives our current economic thinking (too much). I’ve already mentioned the fact of a long history of this theory of ‘Red Queen’ among evolutionary disciplines. There are alternatives, like ‘niche construct’ or ‘White Queen’ , more related to ideas like “commons“, based on ‘survival of the fittest’, in stead of ‘.. of…

Inquisitive but not discerning

Deprivation curiosity is associated with excessive openness to inaccurate information. New psychology research reveals a dark side of curiosity states: “highly deprivation curious people have an excessive openness to information. More deprivation curious people are more likely to see meaning in meaningless gibberish sentences, and they are more likely to entertain pretty blatant disinformation”. “So…

How nature nurtures … as the result of a one-hour walk in nature

I do stress the importance of walking for decision making, thinking and well-being in a variety of post.The latest article I just found suggest that going for a walk in nature can have salutogenic effects on stress-related brain regions, and consequently, it may act as a preventive measure against mental strain and potentially disease. Given rapidly…

Begin with the decision-maker

I enjoyed the article “The first step in AI might surprise you” on AI, ML, Data Science from Cassie so much, I decided to steal some quotes: Leaders, figure out who’s calling the shots. If it’s you, then let’s designate you “The Decision-Maker“ for this project. Otherwise, delegate the position to someone else and ask them to read the…

Nice TED speech on capital psycho pathology

I’ve been pointed to the great lecture Jon Ronson delivered at TED2012: “Strange answers to the psychopath test” It becomes very interesting and maybe even somewhat scary from minute 9. Some parts o the transcripts to get the idea: capitalism at its most ruthless rewards psychopathic behavior — the lack of empathy, the glibness, cunning, manipulative. So, here’s…

Walk The Thinking Path

Software “tools for thought” can amplify your thinking, but sometimes the secret to a creative workflow is as low-tech as it gets: going for a stroll. This refers to the free edition of Adjacent Possible, a newsletter about innovation (and its discontents) from Steven Johnson. The blog refers to “On the Link Between Great Thinking and…
