I had the pleasure of meeting Eileen Clegg at the Internet Time Alliance Party in November. Eileen wanted to know what ITA does and I agreed to explain my personal perspectives on work and learning.
We moved into the Internet Time Lab, in Jay’s basement, and Eileen drew while I talked.
The result shows some of the main concepts and ideas that drive my work.
—
Life in Perpetual Beta is a primary theme.
Understanding complexity is central to my work.
Other themes include giving up control and letting people manage themselves.
Concepts such as ubiquitously connected and pervasively proximate (Mark Federman) and wirearchy (Jon Husband) inform my work.
The idea that “humans don’t scale” is based on research such as the work of Robin Dunbar.
Probe-Sense-Respond comes from the Cynefin framework.

So that’s a snapshot of some of the ideas that I find important for my work … for now. Be sure to check out some of the great visuals Eileen has done with a wide variety of clients.
Incredibly simple and straightforward. Incredibly complex. Thank you for sharing this. I needs think on it more.
Delightful, Harold. Thanks for such elegant synthesis.
Best wishes from late night Australia.
