Called the Ahtisaari Manoeuvre after an early client Always have something on the table. Another: Always use fat pens. Another: It's important to have the right people in the room -- representing knowledge of technical possibilities, business needs, and market insights. But at the same time, the ideal number of people to have in the room is five or six. Any more than that, you can't continue a single conversation without it turning into a presentation. Another: The one who understands the client's business best is the client." … "There are a couple of things I'm investigating: 1. That a small group is a powerful way of thinking, and of creating action. That repetition matters, and informality. 2. It might be possible to help with strategy without providing original thought or even active facilitation: To consult without consulting. The answers and even ways of working are inherent in the group itself. My hunch is this: To answer a business's strategic questions, which will intrinsically involve changing that business, a more permanent solution than a visiting consultant might be to convene a small group, and spend time with it, chatting informally." … "Once a week we get together -- a half dozen students, often Durrell, whoever is teaching the course with him which was Stuart before and Oscar now, plus a special guest. It's just for coffee somewhere or other, on Friday mornings, and we chat. It's super casual, sharing ideas and references, talking about the brief and design in general. I'm curious about informality. The lunchtimes at BERG, everyone around the table with such a broad range of skills and interests... and after Friday Demos - part of the weekly rhythm - the sparked conversations and the on-topic but off-topic sharing... this is where ideas happen too. Between projects but not outside them. And I think informality as part of the design process is under-communicated, at least where I've been listening. So much work is done like that. The students are great at speaking about their work, sure. But mainly I'm interesting in how we induct someone into a worldview, quickly; how we explain ideas and then listen carefully for feedback, accepting ideas back -- all conversationally, without (and this is the purpose of the special guest) it turning into a seminar or a crit. I think the best way to communicate this "lunch table" work informality is to rehearse it, to experience it. Which is what the coffee mornings are about. I try to make sure everyone speaks, and I ask questions to see if I can encourage the removal of lazy abstraction -- words that get in the way of thinking about what's really going on. I'm a participant-observer. Tbh I'm not sure what to call this. Visiting convener? It's not an official role. I think (I hope!) everyone is getting something out of the experience, and everyone is becoming more their own kind of designer because of it, and meanwhile I get to explore and experience a small group. A roughly consistent membership, a roughly regular meeting time, an absence of purpose, or rather a purpose that the group is allowed to negotiate at a place within itself. ~ These RCA coffee mornings grew out of my experiment with hardware-ish coffee mornings, a semi-irregular meetup in London having a vague "making things" skew... Internet of Things, hardware startups, knitting, the future of manufacturing and distribution, a morning off work. That sort of thing. People chat, people bring prototypes. There's no single conversation, and only rarely do we do introductions. This invite to a meet in January also lists my principles: • Space beats structure • Informality wins • Convening not chairing • Bonfires not fireworks I've been trying to build a street corner, a place to cultivate serendipity and thoughts. Not an event with speakers, there are already several really good ones." … "My setup was that I believed the answer to the issue would come from the group, that they knew more about their business than me. Which was true. But I also observed that the purpose of the business had recently changed, and while it could be seen by the CEO that the current approach to this design problem wasn't satisfying, there was no way for the group to come together to think about it, and answer it together. Previously they had represented different strands of development within the startup. Now the company was moving to having a new, singular, measurable goal. So I started seeing the convened discussions as rehearsing a new constellation of the team members and how they used one-another for thinking, and conscious and unconscious decision making. The group meetings would incubate a new way to think together. Do it enough, point out what works, and habits might form. ~ Consulting without consulting." … "I'm not entirely sure where to take these experiments. I'm learning a lot from various coffee mornings, so I'll carry on with those. I had some conversations earlier in the year about whether it would be possible to act as a creative director, only via regular breakfast conversations, and helping the group self-direct. Dunno. Or maybe there's a way to build a new division in a company. Maybe what I'm actually talking about is board meetings -- I've been a trustee to Startup Weekend Europe for a couple of years, and the quarterly meetings are light touch. But they don't have this small group aspect, it might be that they haven't been as effective as they could be. There might be something with the street corners and serendipity pattern... When I was doing that three month gig with the government earlier this year, it felt like the people in the civil service - as a whole - had all the knowledge and skills to take advantage of Internet of Things technologies, to deliver services faster and better. But often the knowledge and opportunities weren't meeting up. Maybe an in-person, regular space could help with that. At a minimum, if I'm learning how to help companies and friends with startups in a useful way that doesn't involve delivering more darn Powerpoint for the meat grinder: Job done. But perhaps what's happening is I'm teaching myself how to do something else entirely, and I haven't figured out what that is yet. ~ Some art. Some software."]]> mattwebb small groups groupsize 2015 collaboration consulting vonnegut kurtvonnegut organization howwewrite writing meaningmaking patternrecognition stevenjohnson devonthink groupdynamics psychology wilfredbion dependency pairing serendipity trickster doublebinds informality informal coffeemornings meetings crosspollination conversation facilitation catalysts scenius experienceingroups https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:6be96ce398e7/ Apocalyptic Schadenfreude — Matter — Medium 2015-04-10T07:00:22+00:00 https://medium.com/matter/let-it-rain-ac793178d51c robertogreco 2015 california drought water economics farming agriculture stevenjohnson efficiency deserts centralvalley climate climatechange nytimes food sanjoaquinvalley https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:ea7941eb23b1/ The End of Creativity — Medium 2015-03-11T19:20:46+00:00 https://medium.com/@kevin_ashton/the-end-of-creativity-cc5c27e7e42d robertogreco“When I am, as it were, completely myself, and of good cheer, my ideas flow best and most abundantly. My subject stands almost complete in my mind. When I write down my ideas everything is already finished; and it rarely differs from what was in my imagination.” These words, which I have edited for length, first appeared in a letter to Germany’s General Music Journal in 1815, then in many other places, including Jacques Hadamard’s 1945 The Mathematician’s Mind; Creativity, edited by Philip Vernon in 1976; and Roger Penrose’s 1989 The Emperor’s New Mind. They remain popular: in 2015, they have already appeared in at least one book and one journal. But Mozart did not write them, they do not describe how he composed, and we have known this since 1856, when Mozart biographer Otto Jahn showed that they were forged. "Why do so many people writing about creativity keep citing them as if they were true? Because there is little else to cite. Psychologists have been trying to prove the creativity hypothesis for nearly a hundred years. Their results are, at best, mixed. In the 1920s, Stanford’s Lewis Terman sought to prove the existence of the general, hereditary superiority called “genius” by testing 168,000 children and placing them on a scale “from idiocy on the one hand to genius on the other.” He identified 1,500 “geniuses,” then tracked their accomplishments for the rest of their lives. Some did creative work, like making movies, but many did not. And what of the “non-geniuses” Terman rejected? Two, William Shockley and Luis Alvarez, won Nobel Prizes. Terman’s results are typical: all other attempts to predict future accomplishments by measuring “genius” have also failed. “Incubation,” or solving problems by not thinking about them, has been widely studied. Berkeley’s Robert Olton spent the 1970s looking for it. In one experiment, he asked 160 people to solve a brainteaser, giving some breaks, while making others work continuously. The breaks made no difference. Olton was forced to conclude that,
“No evidence of incubation was apparent,” and added, “No study reporting evidence of incubation has survived replication by an independent investigator.”
And “insight” — the fully formed solution in a flash? German Gestalt psychologist Karl Duncker was one of the first to study that. In his most famous experiment, he gave people a box of tacks and a book of matches, and asked them to fix a candle to a wall so that it could be used as a reading light. The solution is to tack the tack-box to the wall — to see it as a thing for holding the candle, not a thing for holding the tacks. The shift from “tack-box” to “candle-holder” is the supposed “insight.” By having people think aloud, Duncker showed that the solution came incrementally, not instantly: everyone who discovered it thought of making a platform out of tacks, then realized the tack-box would be a better platform. These experiments, although a few of hundreds, are representative. There is probably no such thing as creativity. But Duncker’s work laid the foundation for an alternative hypothesis: that extraordinary solutions come from ordinary people doing ordinary thinking. Robert Weisberg, a psychologist at Temple University in Philadelphia, put it this way:
“Although the impact of creative ideas and products can sometimes be profound, the mechanisms through which an innovation comes about can be very ordinary.”
… "This idea that extraordinary creations come from ordinary people and ordinary thinking has become more popular recently. Jon Gertner wrestled with the problem of “the great men versus the yeomen,” in The Idea Factory, his history of Bell Labs, and concluded that innovation needs both; Walter Isaacson found he had to tell the story of many lives, not one, to describe the invention of computing in his latest bestseller The Innovators; and Steven Johnson refutes the “non-explanation of genius” and argues that “innovation comes out of collaborative networks” in his new book and PBS television series, How We Got to Now. It is an important change. We are rejecting the myths of “creativity” and developing a better understanding of how we create at a time when, because of the growing problems of our growing population, we need creation more than ever. We are not all equally creative, just as we are not all equally good at anything. But each of us is more like Mozart than not. We can all create, we can all contribute, and we all should."]]> via:anne 2015 creativity incubation ideas ordinariness kevinashton jongertner walterisaacson stevenjohnson innovation robertburton georgeherbert diegodeestrella johnofsalisbury bernardofchartres alberteinstein ernstmach carlfriedrichgauss bernhardriemann marcelgrossman gregorioricci-curbastro mozart karldunker ottojahn alfrednorthwhitehead lewisterman genius williamshockley luisalvarez psychology robertolton history insight ordinary https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:eee4e6b5d739/ Interface Critique | Words in Space 2014-01-20T01:29:31+00:00 http://www.wordsinspace.net/wordpress/2014/01/10/interface-critique/ robertogreco toread shannonmattern interface ubicomp design 2014 johannadrucker criticism scottmccloud cities alexandergalloway adamgreenfield materiality scale location urban urbanism time space orientation frameanalysis minorityreport stevenjohnson https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:1fc272786765/ Lonely, but united: Sherry Turkle and Steven Johnson on technology's pain and promise | The Verge 2012-10-05T20:30:21+00:00 http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/5/3459938/sherry-turkle-and-steven-johnson-on-technology-pain-promise robertogreco paulmiller etiquette attention tradeoffs connection stimulus boredom distraction internet cities 2012 stevenjohnson sherryturkle https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:ec32c79cbf7b/ Research As You Go — The Writer’s Room — Medium 2012-08-24T01:41:09+00:00 https://medium.com/p/281c7539ad92 robertogreco process howwework howwewrite research procrastination stevenjohnson 2012 writing https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:f85b6e1e2a4a/ How to Build a Time Machine | r4isstatic.com 2012-08-23T19:55:58+00:00 http://www.r4isstatic.com/395 robertogreco webstandardtime stevenjohnson memolane personalinformatics ashipadrift momento history place placesivebeen markhurrell atemporality perception mattsheret internetofthings internet eternalism 2012 storytelling timemachines jamesbridle jonathantweed robstyles metadata web timetravel time paulrissen instagram iot https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:62ad24e27c31/ The Spark File — The Writer’s Room — Medium 2012-08-15T19:38:24+00:00 https://medium.com/p/8d6e7df7ae58 robertogreco stevenjohnson 2012 writing hunches sparkfiles notetaking notes commonplacebooks rereading moleskines evernote habits via:Preoccupations ideas memory cv scrolling pagination https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:82e17aff5810/ Steven Berlin Johnson: Instead of building cathedrals in learning, we need to learn to build cathedrals | Creativity, Imagination, and Innovation in Education Symposium 2012-07-31T00:47:53+00:00 http://creativitysymposium.pressible.org/careyzamarriego/steven-berlin-johnson-cathedrals robertogreco cathedralsoflearning everythingbadisgoodforyou gaming games multidisciplinarythinking connectivesyntheticintelligence connectiveintelligence multidisciplinary interdisciplinary crossdisciplinary generalists specialization interconnectivity patterns conenctions innovation multipleintelligences diversity problemsolving systemsthinking parenting videogames teaching schools collaboration gutenberg crosspollination feathers exaptation devonthink evolution stephenjaygould commonplacebooks creativity darwin francomoretti semiotics hunches learning 2011 stevenjohnson charlesdarwin interconnected interconnectedness https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:5b511f066881/ The Speculist » Blog Archive » In the Future Everything Will Be A Coffee Shop 2012-02-20T00:28:43+00:00 http://blog.speculist.com/scenarios/the-coffee-shop-take-over.html robertogreco restaurants multipurpose multi-usespace impromptuevents events coffeeshopification thirdspaces thirdplaces howwelearn howwework work enlightenment stevenjohnson amazonprime amazon shopping espressobookmachine coffeehouses coffeeshops coffee on-demandprinting highereducation higheredbubble highered information reading ebooks stephengordon future retail deschooling unschooling sociallearning self-directedlearning mitx mit learning srg glvo 2011 colleges education opencoffeeclubdresden 3dprinting ondemand ondemandprinting bookfuturism books cafes openstudioproject universities https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:b057e1e02917/ The Genius of Steve Jobs: Marrying Tech and Art -
