Groups, Individuals or both?

Groups, Individuals or both? 07/28/2004 02:54 PM

Jon Udell had an interesting post on Shibboleth, which is an authentication system for the Internet2 (among other applications....)

I met the Shibboleth folks at last year's DigitalID world. They're doing real stuff.

Anyway Jon brings up the notion of group identification, as opposed to individual. My feeling - is that we want - both!

Here's Jon's post....

In last week's column, I suggested that individuals and
corporations should be the authoritative sources of basic information about
themselves. That way, if an application needs my name, address, and phone
number, I can refer it to a source that I control and guarantee to be correct.
But how many applications really need my name, address, and phone number?
Capturing the identity of individuals, along with personal information about
them, has become a habit. In a climate of increasing concern about privacy,
it's a bad habit we must learn to resist. [Full story at InfoWorld.com]

As I mention in this week's column, the notion of selective disclosure is a
core value of href="http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/">Shibboleth, an Internet2 project
that's gaining some real traction in the higher-ed world.

What's up with the name 'Shibboleth'? Here's the scoop:

A shibboleth is a kind of
linguistic password: A way of speaking (a pronunciation, or the use of a
particular expression) that identifies one as a member of an 'in' group. The
purpose of a shibboleth is exclusionary as much as inclusionary: A person
whose way of speaking violates a shibboleth is identified as an outsider and
thereby excluded by the group. (This phenomenon is part of the "Judge a book
by its cover" tendency apparently embedded in human cognition, and the use of
language to distinguish social groups).

The story behind the word is
recorded in the biblical Book of Judges. The word shibboleth in ancient Hebrew
dialects meant 'ear of grain' (or, some say, 'stream'). Some groups pronounced
it with a sh sound, but speakers of related dialects pronounced it with an s.
[Suzanne
Kemmer]

The federated identity system called Shibboleth deals
with group membership, rather than individual identity. It's interesting to
think about use cases, outside higher ed, that don't require the identification
of individuals. Consider website registration. The New York Times, or InfoWorld, or other media
sites that want to qualify readers to their advertisers, don't really need to
know me as an individual. They just need to aggregate readers into groups. From
the Times' perspective, I'm a member of the group of American male writers who
work in Media/Publishing/Broadcasting and who read the Times regularly but do
not subscribe. From InfoWorld's perspective, I'm a member of the group of
consultants (Technical) working in the area of Tech: Publishing who strategize
about (but do not directly purchase) IT assets.

What if it were possible -- and convenient -- to affiliate with these groups
without giving up personally identifying information? In reaction to
registration regimes that are too granular, the bugmenot.c om
hack abolishes granularity. But maybe there's a middle ground.

Ancient Wisdom: Leave the Decisions Up
to Individuals

Ancient Wisdom: Leave the Decisions Up
to Individuals 04/08/2005 03:34 PM

The Idea: Open Space offers a process for decision making that is the exact opposite of that used in most Western organizations: A collective understanding emerges from conversations, and individuals are then entrusted to decide what should be done. One of the things that really struck me in my recent conversati on with Chris Corrigan about Open Space meeting protocols, Appreciative Inquiry ("discover pattern, dream/envision, design, do") and the Four Practices ("opening, inviting, holding/making room, acting/practicing") was how it turns the hierarchical business model of doing things on its head. In business, the decisions on what to do are usually made by a few 'experts' (executives, specialists etc.) and then those decisions are carried out (if they know what's good for them) by everyone else. Here's how Chris & Michael explain the process of acting using Open Space: "It is the personal and individual (I, me, my) pursuit of the good that we invite, in the space that we provide." The knowledge and understanding that prompts the decisions on what to do come from collective activity, and the decision about precisely what to then do is entrusted to each individual. The individuals who are (if the process has gone well) inspired to action have the context to know best what exactly should be done in their own area, community, job, or situation. In business, the 'experts' cannot hope to have the Wisdom of Crowds (all of the individual knowledge and context of everyone affected), and hence are prone to make wrong, even dysfunctional decisions. The frustrated, untrusted employees are forced to implement these decisions, or quit, or, as more often happens, find 'workarounds' that allow them to implement what they know really needs to be done without too obviously ignoring the instructions from the top. The result in business (as I keep saying) is that things are the way they are for a reason -- and usually the reason is that the knowledgeable employees have brilliantly found a way to do what needs to be done while still appearing to be conforming to the relatively ignorant and often counterproductive instructions from the boss. It doesn't take new employees long to catch on to this incongruity between what actually happens on the front line and what the manuals, directives, plans and organization charts would have you believe are happening. In fact the whole new field of 'cultural anthropology' in business entails spending enough time to study this incongruity, and gently and sheepishly report back to the executives, experts, specialists and consultants the perfectly good reasons why their advice and instructions are being ignored. Only a few organizations (Semco and WL Gore are reputedly among them) actually use the Open Space approach to run their operations. This is, after all, scary stuff for executives who get paid to make good, tough decisions. Yet most tribal communities (other than those that have been coerced into using Western governmental structures) have used the Open Space approach successfully for tens of thousands of years. In Open Space cultures nobody tells you what to do. Why do our business, social and political organizations ignore this obvious wisdom? Is it arrogance on the part of the executives? Is it a means for 'experts' to justify their large salaries? Are line staff complicit so they can always say they were just following orders when things go wrong? How and why did the mistrust and disempowerment of the front lines arise? Is it because modern organizations, public and private, are just so big they have become unmanageable, and command-and-control is hence a charade to avoid acknowledging the endemic reality of inefficiency, disconnectedness, distrust and chaos in big organizations, to their customers and other stakeholders?
