Breakfast with Guido van Rossum

Breakfast with Guido van Rossum 06/11/2004 03:04 AM

OMG. I met Guido van Rossum this morning. Guido is the father of python, my favorite only programming language. He was in Helsinki meeting with the Nokia folks working on python Symbian phones. He will be talking to developers later today.

I have a long history with python. The Ultraseek search engine by Steve Kirsch at Infoseek was written in python and many of the people in Digital Garage which I was co-CEO of at the time were developing the Japanese version and working in python. Later, Cyrus et al at Digital Garage use Zope, a python package to build a commerce site. More recently, I learned python using Dive Into Python by Mark Pilgrim as my tutorial and I wrote the first useful script in my life, Technobot. In the process of writing the script, I went for help on #python on Freenode which regenerated my interest in IRC and led to the birth of #joiito. I owe a lot to python and therefore to Guido. So thanks!

Breakfast with Dave Snowden and an
Epiphany

Breakfast with Dave Snowden and an
Epiphany 06/05/2005 11:12 PM

A synopsis of a recent breakfast meeting with Dave Snowden, head of the Cynefin Centre and thought leader on complex systems and narrative and their application in business. Last week I attended a breakfast presentation by Da ve Snowden of the Cynefin Centre in Toronto. He provided us with an entertaining recounting of his disenchantment with traditional consulting and his realization why most of what management and experts and consultants try to do in organizations has no significant, durable impact whatsoever. As he described his learnings and discoveries about complex adaptive systems and how pervasive they are in our business and personal lives, I began to realize that appreciating enterprises, organizations and systems as (mostly) complex rather than merely complicated is more than just a basis for re-framing business methodologies, it is a completely different way of sensing and dealing with the world. It changes everything. Here are just a few of the extraordinary paradigm shifts that this reframing provokes: Complicated World Complex World Assumption of order ("research this to find out if there's a market for it" Realization of unorder ("let's explore what might happen if we did this") Importance of aggressiveness and charisma to "lead the change" Importance of collaboration and humility to participate in the evolution Actions driven by authority-based direction Actions based on learnings from conversations, consensus and freedom to act bounded by personal responsibility Top-down hierarchical communication and knowledge transfer Peer-to-peer (networked) communication and knowledge transfer Military win/lose competitiveness Natural win/win cooperation and coexistence Emphasis on action (making decisions quickly and 'expertly') Emphasis on paying attention (making decisions continuously, improvisationally) Assumption of rational choice ("tell people why they should buy X") Realization of entrained behaviour ("study people to discover if they might buy X") Primacy of objective reality ("what's happening here") Primacy of perception ("what do people think is happening here") Changing the way things are Understanding why things are the way they are Assumption of intention ("why did this happen") Realization of meaning ("what do we learn from this") Assess causality Look for pattern and correlation Focus Experiment Leadership is everything Membership is everything Strive for stability Strive for resilience Exploit weaknesses, opportunities, needs via speed-to-market Explore weaknesses, opportunities, needs via continuous environmental scan Mechanistic (machine) models of behaviour, relationship, order, connection Organic (natural) models of behaviour, relationship, order, connection How do we solve the problem How do we deal with the situation Set "go-to-market" mission, objectives, strategies, actions Understand the market and actors' identities and influence the attractors and barriers that bring the market to you Market as rational Market as emotional Here are some of the highlights (to me) of his presentation: Innovation today is driven by networkers, not by scientists or marketers Networks are only as good as their perceived trustworthiness, reciprocity and quality (personal value of contacts) 'Edge Cultures' like Singapore, New Zealand and Canada are using the networked economy to become highly innovative, both because they can and because they must Management science is finally getting more like real science, through the use of complex adaptive systems theory, cognitive science, and anthropology etc. Taylor's mechanistic view of organizations and markets dominated management science for a century, and was still evident recently in the passion for business process reengineering Senge et al (learning organization, systems dynamics) challenged the mechanistic aspects but not the hierarchical aspects of Taylorism (people were still expected to align themselves to the strategy, not the other way around); DNA and information ecology metaphors were first used by this group <>Then knowledge management challenge the Taylorist model further (saying people can't be 'reengineered'), but too much of the initial KM focus was on the futile effort to make tacit knowledge explicit ("expecting you to learn how to ride a bicycle by reading the manual"), and because codifying knowledge erases most of its context ("You can teach in three days what it takes three years to write in a book" (and the context-rich hands-on teaching is more effective) KM began to realize that informal networks are far more important than the ones on the organization chart, and to realize that the most innovative people are under 25 (few preconceptions on how things should be done) and over 45 (time and perspective to become aware of alternatives) Narratives (stories) are the only effective mechanism for translating concrete (hands-on) knowledge into abstract (codifiable) form, and are also very motivating (e.g. power of myths) KM has recently spawned a new discipline Narrative Inquiry to understand through large collections of anecdotes the true nature of the market (they catch 'weak signals' that questionnaires and focus groups etc. miss) KM has also spawned a new surge in Non-Hypothesis Based Research, where direct observation with no preconception is used (a form of anthropology) to acquire learnings There is an increasing awareness that dominant companies lose their position because their cultural filters blind them to much real knowledge, as happened to IBM when they passed up early adoption of the PC and the innovations that led to Sun's and Microsoft's successes (this is entirely consistent with Lakoff's and Lappe's framing theories, except it is applied to organizations and management rather than to individuals) This use of narrative-based, Non-Hypothesis Based Research actually costs less than traditional analytical hypothesis-testing methods, and produces far more innovation opportunities Such research can be made even more powerful by the use of Alternative Simulations, a technique that involves asking people to imagine what would have resulted if something happened in history that didn't really happen, and which allows preconceptions and blind spots to be overcome, so participants can begin to 'think ahead' from the patterns found in the true anecdotes that come out of Non-Hypothesis Based Research Such thinking is needed to deal with what Dave calls the impending "demographic time bomb" (far too few companies are thinking ahead to the needs of a much older market population) There is a big difference between creativity and innovation -- the latter requires starvation because it entails risk and unorthodox thinking that are rarely tolerated until there is no alternative (this is consistent with Christensen's observations about disruptive innovations, which I wrote about on Wednesday) The adoption of complex adaptive systems theory seems to be currently strongest in the pharma, telecom, defence and banking industries The current focus of this theory is on what Dave calls ABIDE: Attractors, Boundaries, Identities, Dissent, and Environment; its objective is to get executives thinking about how to have an impact on complex systems by changing attractors (the people, groups, qualities and benefits that attract stakeholders) and removing or changing barriers (the conditions that impede or inhibit stakeholders) in stakeholders' various personal identities, rather than focusing on traditional 'complicated' systems approaches like missions, strategies and objective-setting Dave uses this story to illustrate why ABIDE works better than traditional approaches in complex situations:: Imagine organising a birthday party for a group of young children. Would you agree a set of  learning objectives with their parents in advance of the party? Would you create a project plan for the party with clear milestones and empirical measures of achievement? Would you start the party with a motivational video or use PowerPoint slides? No, instead like most parents you would create barriers to prevent certain types of behaviours ("the bedrooms are off-limits"), you would use attractors (party games, toys, videos) to encourage the formation of beneficial, largely self-forming identities; you would disrupt negative patterns early to prevent the party becoming chaotic or necessitating the draconian imposition of authority. At the end of the party you would know whether it had been a success, but you could not define (in other than the most general terms) what that success would look like in advance. If you think the example is unfair because it refers to children, just substitute 'cocktail party' for 'children's party'. The point is that we see a complex situation as a merely complicated one, we form an exaggerated sense of our understanding of the system and what could happen, our knowledge of all the variables and their causal relationships, and our control over the situation, and so our behaviour doesn't 'make sense', sometimes with terrible consequences. In every situation there are attractors and barriers over which we have some control and many others over which we have none. So rather than being presumptuous, making inaccurate assumptions and setting naive objectives, we should focus on the attractors and barriers we have some control of, pay attention to what's happening, what's possible and what's needed, and improvise sensibly to optimize the situation. As in the party example above, we often have a lot more control over the initial conditions than we have over eventual outcomes, and we should use that to advantage. I hope to be able to write about some specific business applications of this approach soon, and I suspect it will play an important role in the design and operation of AHA! The Discovery and Learning Centre.

Three-in-One Breakfast Toaster Coffee
Machine Egg Boiler 08/17/2004 07:32 AM

If there is a worse investment for me, gadget-wise, than kitchen appliances, I don't know that it is. I'll buy KitchenAid attachments just because they look neat, convincing myself that 'amateur sausage making' is going to sizzle me into a future of home-ground treats, then leave the packages unopened on the shelf. So you might understand how I could be intrigued by this Three-in-One Breakfast Toaster Coffee Machine Egg Boiler, that not only brews your bean juice by can toast a muffin or bread and steam up to four eggs at once. In my mind, I am sitting here each morning, writing up the latest gadgets for you, while simultaneously cooking myself a healthy, albeit bacon-free and therefore slightly sad breakfast. In reality, I would be purchasing and ignoring three different kitchen appliances at once.

It's a win-win situation, really.

But Is It Licensed for Mars? 01/17/2004 11:07 PM
Tropos's equipment tested by NASA as an idea for manned Mars missions: Next thing you know, there will be a Mars Communications Commission (MCC) insisting that a single newspaper and television station could provide all the news on the Red Planet. Mesh wireless equipment makes sense for the terrain and goals of the mission. Will the low pressures affect signal transmission? And then there's hardening against radiation and temperature. I guess we have 20 to 40 years to figure it all out....

Democratizing Innovation as CC-licensed

Democratizing Innovation as CC-licensed
PDF 04/04/2005 03:44 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: I've been reading the print version of Eric von Hippel's Democratizing Innovation, an interesting book about the way that "lead users" are making significant contributions to the development of products and services. Von Hippel is a professor of management of innovation and entrepreneurship, at MIT's Sloan School of Management.

In this traditional model, a user’s only role is to have needs, which manufacturers then identify and fill by designing and producing new products. The manufacturer-centric model does fit some fields and conditions. However, a growing body of empirical work shows that users are the first to develop many and perhaps most new industrial and consumer products. Further, the contribution of users is growing steadily larger as a result of continuing advances in computer and communications capabilities.

You can download the entire book at no charge from von Hippel's site.
Link

UPDATE: Peggy Salz of TheFeature interviewed Eric von Hippel today.

TheFeature: In your book, you talk mostly about product development. How do you know the lead-user approach can also create breakthrough services?

Von Hippel: A field study involving a major Swedish mobile telecoms company recently tested this and produced some surprising results. These researchers adopted the "toolkit innovation method" and supplied a sample of university students tools to develop their own services. Compared to the services generated by professional developers the students' services were by far more novel, creative and cutting-edge.

For example, one girl was frustrated because she was unable to find an apartment. She cleverly developed a mobile alert service that would contact her phone every time the university web site posted an ad for an apartment that fit her requirements. This insight can obviously become the basis for a suite of mobile alert services.

Kevin Marks mentioned on the cc-metadata list that you can query Technorati for a list of recently syndicated content, grouped by Creative Commons license.

You can also drill down and get a list of recently syndicated content under a specific Creative Commons license.

The results are a bit rough now, but one can easily imagine combining license searches with keyword and other search filters to effect an ongoing search for specific licensed content. For example, tell me whenever a Creative Commons licensed image of horses is syndicated.

Marks, who works at Technorati, indicates this sort of capability is "an important future direction." Other blog and search outfits take note.
