What is the Future of Work using Enterprise 2.0 technologies?
It’s the wrong vision to take today’s apps from the desktop and put them out to the web. Instead, innovation will be from finding new simple apps that do new, different things.
You have to look at the value proposition: reduce costs, improve productivity. Look back at […]
I’ve accepted an invite to speak on two panels (Thurs-Fri) at Office 2.0 in San Francisco, California this week:
Cultural and Technology in Enterprise 2.0 rollouts (hosted by Jevon MacDonald).
This will explore the cultural nuances related to designing, developing and deploying Social Software in the Enterprise. Being a wiki kind of guy I’ll bring some perspectives […]
Last night was http://barcamp.org/VizThinkToronto4 “Concept Mapping”- presented by David Gelb of York University, Michael Jones from Sheridan College and myself. (Sorry, for all the promotion we did with my pause in blogging I forgot to blog about it).
At the present count there are some 84 pictures of the event on Flickr:
And our slides at SlideShare

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) wants to double charge for the internet
Many ordinary internet users are unaware: there’s a war being fought by the net savvy for everyone’s right to get to the internet. Net Neutrality centers on the argument that:
Everyone pays for their own Internet connection.Google is paying lots of money for lots of […]
10.2c Imagery and recall
The Buzan Centre promotes many memory aiding techniques. The underlying theme to these systems is to incorporate the creative and logical functions of the brain. By synthesising informational, perhaps abstract facts with experiences we are able to commit them to memory. This is related to an issue raised in [MIM] that questions […]
Imagery and recall
To explain point 9 of Figure 2-1, we note that a principle law of Mind Mapping is to emphasise. [p. 97, The Mind Map Book] advises ‘Always use a central image’ and ‘Use images throughout your Mind Map’. The justification for this is simple:
“While both words and pictures are symbols, they are different […]
2.10.1 Omitting background words - a key principle in the Mind Mapping Technique
An important principle in Mind Mapping is the deliberate omission of the many background words; these are simply not needed because the purpose of these words in the text would be to imply structure. The mind map has a less discursive format and […]
2.10Projection onto a representation space
What is included on a map is the choice of the map-maker. Several sources [NOM, LTL] indicate that any transformation of reality into a symbolic representation is a PROJECTION. This transformation often acts as an abstraction, from a person’s particular viewpoint and indeed, may distort facts to fit into the model. […]
2.9 Explicit appearance
A map’s value is gained from its explicit appearance. It is open to gestalt feeling and can be usefully viewed in part or as a whole, from varying distances and it can be addressed from any starting point; the same is simply not true of a piece of writing. A piece of text […]
2.8 Structure more than content
The key word is structure. Korzybski concluded that the map was so useful simply because it retains the structure of the territory that it mimics.
Whatever the medium for the target representation, reality has to be translated in order to fit it onto a representation, if the complexity of the structure […]
