 Greg Satell (@Digitaltonto)11/11/13 6:48 AM What Jazz Can Teach Business About Innovationp.ost.im/ReyD99 |
“Planning is making decisions early and preparing develops the ability to make decisions as late as possible,” Størmer note
Reduce Emphasis on Status: While Jazz ensembles do have leaders, status and hierarchy are devalued while listening and awareness are prized. This helps take fear out of the equation and promotes creativity. If one team member misses a note, the others react to it not as a mistake, but as an opportunity to create something new.
yeah this:
If one team member misses a note, the others react to it not as a mistake, but as an opportunity to create something new.
A bored audience becomes an innovation trigger rather than a performance killer.
And that, in fact, might be Jazz’s greatest insight. In order to improvise and adapt, the mission must be clear so that team members can act with passion and purpose rather than mere obedience to authority.
Unravelling Complex Interactions
The funny thing about complexity is that it starts out simple. Infants learn phonemes—the basic units as language—as almost incomprehensible sounds. As they develop, they learn to string those sounds into words and the words into sentences until, before you know it ,they are a senior business executives giving conference presentations.
We’ve taught computers to learn the same way. We now have machines that can do legal discovery, perform medical diagnoses and even create and evaluate artistic works. They do this not by rote procedures, but by first learning simple patterns and then learning how to combine them into complex patterns.
Ironically, while our machines can now do this almost flawlessly, our organizations cannot. They are still largely set up around command and control, designed to perform simple operations over and over again with amazing efficiency, but have difficulty combining the patterns of those operations into something wholly new and different.
As Størmer puts it, “control is for beginners.” We need to upgrade the software of our organizations.

what if... instead of calling people to a house/hour/space/lms.... we tag like seen in Philippines..
not hastag tag... listen to live people doing/being (not just theorizing/responding) what if all our answers... connections are right in front of us... and we re missing them... for all the planning... desire to host...
I don't know..

the 8million... is explaining exactly what we already do..
what isn't a kangaroo court?
so to me.. 3rd to last paragraph... ff
much like us getting in an uproar about how unfair to judge teachers in certain ways.. ways that seem obviously inhumane..
yet.. it's exactly what we ve been doing to youth in schools for years...
so yeah.. to this article.. crazy..batent..
but it's been going on forever.. that's why we re so good at letting it go on... no...?

embrace cyborg ness. via trust......
more trust/transparency comes from more cyborg ness
which... on the very plus side ... millions of tiny iterations... fixings.. renewings.. rebirthings.... happening as 7billion people learn to dance improv.. together... and alone

ah... very cool modeling of too big to know ness..
yes eventually (if not already) we ll see too big to badge ness..
at least while we are paying attention/manufacturing/aware even..
because like a mirror.. the tech will just reflect a deeper picture of us...
again... badge evolution is great model of how we ll emerge.
yet not just hundreds or millions of people involved in the convo.. but 7 billion.
and not about another (excellent iteration.. but not scratching service of the dance potential) form of proof..labeling...hierarchy.. competition... extrinsic motivation..
but 24/7 about the thing each one of us cant not do.
to the point we re too busy being/doing awesome... being us.. that we don't pay attention to accolades... credentials... diplomas... and even (Langer) diplomacy... no...?

too much/big for badges..
too much/big for teachers/people.
the dance.
together..
doing/being what matters

An example of why Sidecar and Lyft are Better than the Existing Taxi System | HomeFree America ow.ly/qOMr8
We’re seeing it everywhere. Regulators and city/state attorney’s are trying to stop the rise of the Direct Economy (from AirBnB to Kickstarter to Sidecar), a new economic system that is making it easier for all of us to make an income and get the goods/services we want at the price/quantity/bundle we want.
It’s easy to understand why. The direct economy cuts out the middlemen and much of the corruption that makes these middlemen rich and that change makes it hard to rig the system for the benefit of a few.
