Personal Narratives (The Sequel) – Unpacking and Tapping Into Potential
In my last posting, I shared the evolution of my personal narrative to illustrate how personal narratives can both confine and expand our horizons. A number of you reached out to me and questioned whether I was really talking about a narrative or simply a belief about how others could support me...

The Labor Day Manifesto Of the Passionate Creative Worker
[Three years ago today I posted A Labor Day Manifesto for a New World. In classic Hagelian fashion it was long and complicated. With the help of a few edge collaborators (Christopher Gong, Sarah Scharf and John Seely Brown), we've managed to simplify the Manifesto into some powerful imperatives...

What computers can't do: hexagonal thinking
I'm working on an advisory project at the moment where the team in charge is largely remote: we're all spread around the world and the people organising things spend too much time in front of Word, PowerPoint and Outlook. The result? Lots of text gets sent back and forth and that text is festoon...
ah.. love this Ewan.
improv..that aliveness and vulnerability of perpetual beta.. where problem solving isn't enough:
"that sense of "ubuntu", where I can't sound good unless my buddy sounds good, that constant listening to others in order to build on what they starte"

Yes to the Mess: Surprising Leadership Lessons from Jazz
I'm paraphrasing somewhat, but this is a fascinating interview from jazz musician and management professor Frank Barrett, on a key design thinking skill, where problem solving alone is not sufficient. A certain creative mindset with a distinct process that a team can use to hit its groove an...
a vision we have been intensely co-creating over the last 4 years.
one we now boldly share.
why.. we believe it's a narrative every soul craves.
it's from the inside out.. starting with why. talking to yourself daily.. am I doing/being (eudaimonia.. fittingness) what matters most.
you decide. use your head/heart/gut/etal.

Without A Vision, We Find An Enemy
The economy is in a shambles. There is a total lack of leadership. Hope is at a minimum. The people feel out of control and, without a sense of optimism for the future, they lash out at anyone who is different from them. These are the conditions that existed in the 1930s that gave rise to Hitler...
bravo.
spot on.

Don't Trust Companies Who Put Customers First
“Our customers are our number one priority,” is the oft heard mantra of so many companies these days. “We put our clients first,” is uttered by so many CEOs one loses track. But there’s a problem with putting customers first. It means that employees come at least second. Customers should never ...

Purpose Can Not Be Rationalized
I felt sick. I wanted to curl up in a ball and be alone. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I was ashamed. To most people, what I did would seem a trifle, but to me it was much deeper. I gave a talk to an organization that violates the very core of my beliefs. In my mind, I felt like a sellout. I...
ah. perfect John.
thank you.

Finite and Infinite Games - Which Game Shall We Play in the New Year?
Are there limits? Limits to potential and possibility? This may be the defining question of this century. Our answer will likely determine our views on a broad range of other issues and our actions. As we head into a New Year, it may a good time to step back and reflect on our answer to that que...

Will We Cry When You Die? An Open Letter.
Dear Michael Dell, Larry Ellison, Larry Page and other CEOs of large American corporations: I am sure you all saw the news when Steve Jobs died. The spontaneous, international show of mourning was nothing short of amazing. My question is, do you think we will cry when you die? The irony is that...

Face Reality And Not Your Imagination
There have been many occasions when I’ve been on a plane and we hit some bad turbulence that my heart started pounding. I am not a nervous flyer, per se, but sometimes I imagine elaborate scenarios of all the things that are going wrong in the cockpit and it freaks me out. I’ll hear strange nois...

great post John. the heart of the matter.
i'm reading through Dewey's How We Think. he addresses the need for the negative to authenticate the positive. and that was back forever ago..
i think that's why i like paradox as well. it's like an ongoing zoom out reality check.
we've been intrigued by hammering vulnerability in context. we live so much by theory. which makes it easy to sound good and right. but take away theory, and start doing - whole new ballgame. funny - how often what you are rallying against shows up so clearly - even while you're speaking out the other side of your mouth.
At the end of the day what I'm suggesting is that vulnerability in context can be the most powerful behavior in initiating change.
-Thomas J deLong in Flying Without A Net
we don't know who we are - until we try it without polishing it up first.

Resolving the Trust Paradox
I love paradox, as anyone can tell from the name of the research center that I run with John Seely Brown in Silicon Valley – the Center for the Edge. Paradox is basically a puzzle, often juxtaposing two elements that at first seem like contradictions or at least defy explanation. Isn’t a cente...

nice post. very nice. thank you and good luck.
my questions and thoughts currently - are around these two things:
1) assessments - they drive us so are you willing to forgo standardized testing?
(alternate ideas - test kids by what you get when you google them - eportfolio's - and the like) deciding to keep standardized tests - may result in no more public schools
2) pd - are you willing to radically redefine that?
i think pd should be spent on 2 things
a) what teachers are supposed to be doing in the classroom (and i don't mean running tech - if teachers can't figure it out - kids can) - what i mean is your theme 2
and
b) how to model safe online activity
