CAN SPAM Effectiveness Questioned
12/28/2004 11:38 PMIt's unlikely that this is a surprise to anyone who actually uses
email, but more people are starting to wonder
why we
bothered with the CAN SPAM law, when it appears to have done next
to nothing in actually slowing down the parade of spam in our
in-boxes. In fact, most people have experienced more spam. When the
law was first passed, we asked
what was
the backup plan by the government if (when) the law proved
ineffective, and the answer is that they don't have one. We also
noted that the original sponsors said the bill would work
"with
the proper enforcement" which gave them an obvious scapegoat when
the law didn't work at all. So is it at all surprising that this is
exactly what the sponsors are now saying? The latest article
quotes CAN SPAM sponsor Conrad Burns saying that "enforcement is key"
in getting the law to work.

Richard Perle, Prince of Darkness,
strikes again
Richard Perle, Prince of Darkness,
strikes again
03/11/2003 06:17 PMAccording to
Joe Conanson of Salon, Richard Perle, the Prince of Darkness and
head of the Defense Advisory Board, yesterday called Seymour Hersh a
terrorist in
an interview
with CNN. This was because of an
article
that Hersh had written for the New Yorker detailing Perle's
business dealings, where he has been taking "investments" from defense
contractors ($20 million from Boeing alone) and apparently has been
trying to extort money from the same Saudis he has been attacking
publicly. Seymour Hersh is the journalist who broke the My Lai story
almost 25 years ago, and he has been doing some of the finest post-911
national security reporting in the New Yorker. Not always what the
Bush administration wanted reported, but I am not aware of any
challenges to his facts.
Talk about a despicable and cynical use of 911. Profit from your
position as head of the Defense Advisory Board, then call people
reveal your business dealings "terrorists." Add to that the damage
Perle has already done to NATO, and you have to ask, how more damage
will the Bush administration let this man do to our country? They
should remember, it wasn't people on the left who nicknamed Perle
the Prince of Darkness, it was his fellow Republicans in the
Reagan administration.

A
PRESCRIPTION FOR 'WORK EFFECTIVENESS
IMPROVEMENT'
A
PRESCRIPTION FOR 'WORK EFFECTIVENESS
IMPROVEMENT'
06/14/2004 02:39 PM
 Graham Westwood of ProCarta gave me a copy of Bill Jensen's Simplicity, a book that claims
most business problems are a result of unnecessarily complex
decision-making processes. I recently
wrote
that if Knowledge Management were relabeled Work Effectiveness
Improvement, both the requirements of the job and the customers'
expectations would be much clearer, and we might finally get the job
done. Jensen's book offers a prescription for WEI.
Jensen's thesis is that poor decision-making is the root cause of
business error and ineffectiveness, and his diagnosis of the four
causes for it is shown at right. Most employees, he says, want to do
good work, but are impeded by these four causes, which produce
unnecessary complexity in each of our jobs. I concur with this
diagnosis, though I'm not sure large organization have either the
capacity or the will to fix these four problems.
At the individual and team level, Jensen
suggests* five behaviour or learning changes that could
alleviate these problems:
- Better time management - We need to learn to prioritize
and
provide better context of why tasks are important, clarify and
simplify
goals, improve our personal work organization skills, provide better
definition of expected outcomes and of 'success', develop and provide
better, simpler tools and resources to get the job done, and eliminate
unnecessary tasks and bureaucracy.
- Improvisational project
stewardship - We must learn to
focus people's attention on what's really important, communicate
priorities and success measures, and learn from failures. Today's
organization is more like a jazz combo than an army, and needs a very
different kind of team facilitation and 'leadership'.
- Quality conversations - We must learn to communicate
a
vision that co-workers can understand in concrete terms, and can buy
into, to selectively tell people precisely what to do (but only when
it's needed, and when you know), and to communicate the measurements
of
success and the resources available to help.
- Effective
listening - We need to learn, in the mass of
messages, to filter out what's irrelevant, unimportant, and
unactionable, and to focus on messages that clarify expectations and
identify unmet needs and critical problems that we can personally help
solve. That entails knowing when to intervene, and when not to, and learning how to say
'no' gracefully.
- Engaging people - We need to learn to use
stories and other
techniques to clarify what is important, what needs to be done, and
the
consequences of success and failure.
Both as an individual 'knowledge worker' and as a team/project member,
then, we can be more effective if we learn, and practice, managing our
own time and helping others manage theirs (by eliminating unnecessary
tasks and simplifying others), more effectively; selectively intervene
in work processes and project activities only when we can add real
value or eliminate obstacles; communicate what's really important to
bring clarity; listen to identify and resolve critical needs and
problems; and filter out messages and information that burdens rather
than
alleviating work effectiveness.
These are useful suggestions for improving work effectiveness and
hence
decision-making in organizations, but none of them is new. Those that
would take up WEI (or KM) as a career need to understand why these techniques have not worked in
the past,
before they attempt to implement them in their organizations. In many
companies, both employees and managers raise their eyebrows at 'soft
skills' courses like time management, effective communication and
story-telling. We know how to do
that, they will say, the
problem is more systemic, more entrenched than merely teaching
common-sense skills can hope to solve.
These critics are half-right. Many problems in business are
structural,
strategic, or systemic, and raising people's hopes by suggesting that
these basic work management techniques are suddenly going to work
bottom-up when they didn't work before, will merely create
disappointment. Excessive size and hierarchy, poor managers, and
inappropriate success measures (that reward executives more for
cutting
staff than for making staff more effective, for example) are at the
heart of much work ineffectiveness, and need very different solutions.
But these critics are also half-wrong. Each of us today is
increasingly
in charge of our own careers, our own jobs, and hence our own work
effectiveness. The five skills listed above are critical skills for
every entrepreneur and every front-line worker, and we should each
ensure we have these 'core competencies'. If the big, cumbersome
organizations we work for do not allow these skills proper exercise,
then the answer is either to leave them or reform them, not to revel
in
our ineffectiveness and just blame management (even when they are to
blame).
The remainder of Jensen's book prescribes some higher-level
organizational 'disciplines' that can enable improvements in work
effectiveness:
- Better understanding of what different stakeholders
need, and why
- Building trust, through openness, fairness,
respect, attention, consistency, and clarity
- Designing the content of databases for effective
(re-)use
- Designing project tools to focus on, and inform, the
critical decisions and choices that must be made, and to surface
potential landmines and potential innovations
- Designing tools to make it easier to connect with the
right people and find the right information
- Making the
objective of all infrastructure to make workers' jobs simpler
I am less excited about these latter ideas, because as desirable as
they are, I just don't see them happening in most organizations.
Enlightened businesses already have a culture that embraces these
concepts, but the vast majority of unenlightened businesses simply
lack
the adaptability needed to embrace them, so I think they're just so
much wishful thinking. Despite the claims of the zealots of
acquisition, growth, integration, globalization and 'economies of
scale', I am increasingly convinced that large organizations are inherently incapable
of being efficient, responsible, agile, or places where effective work
can occur. They need more radical surgery than Jensen's treatment.
Nevertheless, this book provides some of the much-needed definition
for
WEI, which I believe will be the next wave of organizational change,
and will accomplish much of what reengineering and knowledge
management
failed to do. The #1 purpose of management must become empowering
people to know and do what's important to achieve the organization's
goals, and enabling them to stop doing the other stuff that, today,
takes up most of their time.
* Jensen uses different words for these, and for many of
the key ideas in this book. As much as I liked his messages, I found
sometimes his choice of labels for his key concepts confusing.
