My brain sitting here connecting the #ManagerialScience ideas surrounding #Systemic and #Organizational thinking, and the end of #IanFleming's #JamesBond #SpyNovel #CasinoRoyale...

So like, the main villian in the rogues-gallery of spies and criminals is handling money for the KGB (in the movie it's a financial firm involved in terrorism under the table), and after James Bond takes all his money in a Poker game (betting NATO money), he has him in a cell and is torturing him, but JB keeps laughing because "you're going to die." So then the Soviet spy (another agent from the finance company) walks in and he's like, "hang on, I just need to torture him more and I'll have the money." and the spy is like "Sorry, we don't care about the money, we care about our operation." and kills him... then leaves James Bond alive to escape.

This is Organizational Thinking in action.

7 Tips to Help You Start a #Digital #Declutter

Clean up your digital spaces by first tackling the #clutter and then establishing an #organizational system

So next time you're stuck doing something that feels wrong and inefficient, don't be afraid to ask "why do we do it this way?". Then go find Kathy and offer to HELP her learn the new reports.

As I approach my 50s, there's more and more I find myself stuck in the same routine because its *comfortable*. its a safe zone. Stepping outside the box is uncomfortable. its *work*. I get it. So empathize with the reluctance.

Eventually you drill down far enough and it comes down to "Because Kathy didn't know how to use the new reports and wanted to stick with the 20 yr old Excel spreadsheet with the VBA macros noone knows how to maintain!". Sure enough, when we sidestep the constraints and try the new way, its 1000% better.

My organization suffers a lot of BTTWWHADI (But Thats The Way We've Always Done It!). Many pain points were due to long tenured "lifers" who have since retired, yet we're still stuck in the same ruts. Management consultants parachute in and ask "that seems... inefficient. Why do you do it that way?" and our response is always "well, because of <constraint>". "Well, why do you impose that constraint" "well, because of <other constraint>"..

Best thing about the #NewYear is getting to #redesign the #organizational documents for standing #meeting groups.

"There is no reason to assume that the primary driver for a goal should always come from the top of an organisation. The senior-most leaders of an organisation do not have perfect knowledge, nor perfect reasoning and depending on the specific context, they don't even have the best knowledge or reasoning."

A friend of mine tagged me on a recent #LinkedIn post about White-identifying #EDI practitioners not doing enough as opposed to us who are from the #GlobalMajority. We have been doing this work for a while now and it never seems to be enough to #organizational leaders. Something has to give. If you haven't seen the post, here it is.

#HarvardBusinessReview research reveals that the top reasons for #collaboration failure include #silos (67%), no collaborative #vision from leaders (32%), and #seniormanagers not wanting to give up control (32%).

Most of an #enterprise’s #competitivevalue is created and delivered at #organizational “seams,” where functions come together to develop #innovation capability. That requires #leaders of those functions to collaborate across the silos to deliver that #value.

@BenjaminHan also, coming back to ur OP ;-)

In practice, we find #KG useful to loosely couple databases across different “subcontexts”, bridging (not breaking) #organizational #silos. Yet, the shared context remains narrow and brittle.

#Transformers we find most useful to catch the longtail of at least a subcontext in a practically robust way.

And yes, #inductivebias here is informed by #KG, top-down, yet as always #datamodel of input is the determinant of predictive viability.

Rough flare day. I hate when I’m so foggy I can’t think right even. But I watched two episodes of Love Boat and a Hallmark movie. 😂 I’ve been working on a #shopping list for #moving on to the #skoolie next week. Looking for the best #cheap #organizational hacks for #smallspaces, bonus if pix. I can’t wait to share pix of the bus all done. I’m working on making it as accessible as possible for my bad days, too. #tinyHouse #schoolBusConversion.
