The Future of Work
The Future of Work
04/09/2004 04:10 PMCongrats to Tom Malone for
the launch of The Future of
Work, a terriffic look at how decentralization is affecting the
nature of the organization, the structure of business and our work
lives.
When we first launched Lotus Notes in the early 90's, it
was an era of Reengineering
The Corporation, in which companies were reducing the cost of
coordination internally through business process
reengineering. Companies embraced Lotus Notes, an advanced
communications technology for the time, reflecting
the changing nature of the organization
from centralized hierarchical structures
toward more decentralized work flows.
When I left Iris/Lotus/IBM in 1997, I did so primarily
because in '95-'96 I saw, in our customers, the beginnings of
something quite significant: they were extending their core business
processes and practices outward to partners, suppliers, and in some
cases even customers. When we lau
nched Groove's V1 product in 2001 and began selling it to
enterprises, our primary focus was on how it was an advance in
decentralized communications that would reduce the cost of
coordination externally in a manner not possible with
technologies primarily designed for enterprise use. The fact
that enterprises and government have embraced Groove truly reflects
the changing nature of business from
centralized structures toward networked, decentralized
organizational relationships.
Over the past 12-18 months, we've seen some other very significant
technology-catalyzed changes occurring in business, in society, and in
our everyday lives. Last year was most certainly the "year of
the laptop". Broadband is now ever-more pervasive,
and 2003 was also undeniably the "year of WiFi". Our PC usage
patterns have been transformed: we carry them to meetings, use them at
hotels and on client sites and at home. Whereas most of us used
to do most of our work in our "office" or "cube", our most important
work is now done in our "virtual office" - the one that is implemented
in software on PC's and a variety of devices tucked away in our
backpack, briefcase, purse and pocket.
This isn't a small trend: its impact on business, society and our
lives is huge. I would strongly recommend that you spend some
quality time with this
presentation based on a landmark study done in 2003 on the
pervasiveness of off-site work.
I sit here writing this as we're about about to lift the
veil from what I believe you'll find truly
represents the next generation of communications software, Groove v3.0.Our primary design goal
for this product, based very specifically on how it has been being
used by our customers over the past three years, was to implement, for
its users, the essence of their "virtual office". Where we
do our work together, and where we want to do our
work together because of how it feels and just
works. We now live in an era of extreme mobility, where the attributes of secure
communications, coordination, and synchronization are core to most
everything we do in terms of information work. An era where our
tools and mobile devices must be specifically designed with advanced,
elegant awareness & notification to help us to
efficiently swarm around our joint activities, and to aggregate and
prioritize notifications in ways that help us to conserve our
attention and cope with information overload.
Think of how you yourself work, on a day-to-day basis. This
era is one of virtual work performed by a highly decentralized
workforce. Technology's role in this era is to bring us
effective horizontal fusion - reducing the cost of
coordination between us in a manner not possible
with centralized technologies. It should reflect
the changing nature of work, from the
physical workplace, toward the decentralized workspace<
/A>. And it most certainly will.

Book Review: WarDriving
Book Review: WarDriving
05/27/2004 06:24 PMNobody likes to make enemies, but I have to be honest about the
dollar-to-content value of this book: Let me be clear from the outset.
I don't know any of the authors of this book, except by reputation,
and have nothing but the highest regard for their technical knowledge
and their achievements. The folks who wrote WarDriving: Drive, Detect,
Defend are experts about most of what they write about, and offer
great technical insights and tips throughout. That said, I can't
recommend this book primarily because the best advice is already
available on the Web for free in much the same form; chunks of the
most practical early part of the book are repetitive to cover
different operating systems or scenarios with the same approach; the
middle part of the book comprises a 60-page-long set of anecdotes with
long code extracts; and the last part of the book features security
advice that's somewhat strange focusing on commercial software and
hardware that's obscure and hard to use and mostly out of keeping with
the kind of audience that could possibly be interested in this title.
A factor that led to book bloat (520 pages, no CD-ROM, $49.99) is the
lengthy reproduction of code, sometimes double spaced that a reader
must be expected to input rather than download or copy and paste from
a Web page. Further, many of the programs seem too idiosyncratic to be
of general utility, arguing against their inclusion in the printed
book even if other programs were printed in full. For fairness's sake,
after reading this book a few weeks ago, I sent the publisher's
publicist contact my remarks and a list of errors found in the book. I
was promised some follow up and didn't get it, so the statute of
limitations of waiting for a response to specifics has ended. I should
also make it clear that I have co-written a book on wireless
networking which has practically no overlap with this book. In
general, the book is best at collecting and providing documentation on
the trickiest aspects of scanning for, recording, and defending
against wardriving and Wi-Fi network cracking. Some of the areas on
defense are the strongest in the book, although other areas seem
highly misguided. From the first page of the book to the end of
Chapter 7, page 243, it's at its strongest. It's a cogent, how-to
guide to installing and...
Book Review: Against All Enemies
Book Review: Against All Enemies
04/17/2004 03:20 PMWhen Against All Enemies was published a few weeks ago, it was greeted
by a flurry of press and blogsphere discussion, almost entirely
focused on the book's criticisms of the Bush administration. Those
criticisms are largely contained within the book's final chapter, a
chapter that feels grafted on, and which is significantly different in
tone from the rest of the book. It's unfortunate that this chapter has
become the focus for discussion of the book - a fact which argues
that, perhaps, it shouldn't have been included at all. The majority
of the book is a discussion of how the first Bush administration and
the Clinton administration gradually came to realize the existence of
al Qaeda and tried to figure out what to do about it. The story is
framed, at the beginning and the end, by the events of September 11,
2001 (during which Clarke was one of the people primarily responsible
for government operations during the hours until President Bush took
charge) - but that is simply the framing; the real meat of the book
takes place in an earlier time. The time that laid the groundwork for
that day.

Future of Microsoft
ActiveWin.com Book of the Day: Breaking
Windows: How Bill Gates Fumbled the
Future of Microsoft
12/03/2003 12:39 AMDavid Bank's Breaking Windows offers a scathing inside look at the
past few tumultuous years at the Microsoft Corporation. Bank, who
covers the company for The Wall Street Journal, bases this
well-written tale on interviews he has conducted with most major
players (including Bill Gates), along with boxes of e-mails and other
documents that "provided an unprecedented glimpse into strategic
debates and internal decision-making processes of a company that had
long restricted outside access to its insular corporate culture."
Through them he shows how Microsoft, which always put software above
everything--and in more recent years made Windows its number-one
priority--has scrambled and squabbled as first the Internet and then
the U.S. government forced major directional changes and significant
internal reevaluations.
