New docs on Scribd - agenda from last week and A4 sheets

Scribd is now working ok for uploads so there are two new ones


Management Theory at Work Three 22-24/8/12 Design Envelope Sheets - Gibson Burrell model

Chat about Design Science on Wild Show now on YouTube

There was a problem with the first version of part one, but both should now be working. The Wild Show is on Phonic FM in Exeter. There is not really much here yet about Design Science but there is the possibility of more later as mp3s and YouTube links are identified.

The videos are not yet indexed so I cannot add them to this blog. They are on the Posterous blog for will789gb. Please follow this LINK

LinkedIn topic on new topics for future #mtw3

On the LinkedIn site there is a chance to define issues for future discussion. Copied here for info-

This discussion is to identify three or four new topics that will continue #mtw3.

Starts with note from John Burgoyne.
End of Leadership and a State of Salvation
Followed by three main inter-related strands:
1.) More scientific leadership (as well as human relations)
2.) More ethical etc. leadership
3.) Virtual leadership
so these three could be rephrased as new discussions.

Also John Burgoyne has claimed that new web companies such as Google and Apple do not consult with Business Schools. Is this true? Do they consult with anyone? Do they use formal quality systems? How to define them anyway?

Comment
Linda Shelton • Quote from John notes - "Why are the new organisations, google, eBay, facebook etc. largely or entirely absent from Business School client lists (need to check if this is true, think it is)."
Scientific Leadership could relate to quality ideas but not much recent about this. Design Science still not widely understood though Wild Show radio a start ( clips on YouTube maybe later today ) ethics see Bronwen Rees on Cloudworks http://cloudworks.ac.uk/cloud/view/4826 I think virtual leadership may relate to academic publishing, they will try anything for promotion

Stills from Twinity

These stills show my recent locations, at home in Morecambe living over Lubins, and in the Telecafe Berlin. Berlin is ok until they build the virtual version of the Work Foundation. I hear that the upstairs cafe area is much the same.

The comment about design is from a conference about Protection Science organised by the IAS in Lancaster a while ago.

Checkland added to YouTube playlist

The talk by Peter Checkland has been added to the playlist. See previous post or search YouTube on Management Theory at Work Three.

The production is by Lancaster University TV. There could be more of this sort of thing.

Systems is another way to think about design.

YouTube Playlist #mtw3

This Playlist includes several clips from other sources. There are two versions of John Burgoyne's talk so it depends if you want a good view of the slides.

Mostly it is about design.

I think there could be more linking conversations from Twinity. Stills are all very well but the future is video.

Twinity Telecafe as a set for the Work Foundation

My colleague Will Pollard recently visited the Telecafe and I agree with him that this is very similar to the upper floor of the Work Foundation where there is a cafe and extended meeting room. I will visit myself sometime soon. Please add a comment if you know when you might be there or if you know of other good spots to be.

Agenda for #mtw3 22-24 Aug

The code worked ok but the document is too small so here it is again-

22nd 23rd  24th August #mtw3 Online
Test Management Theory at Work Three

22nd  Concentrates on YouTube and Facebook

Keynote from John Burgoyne-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCboBk-lYp0    follow links to part two

End of Leadership and a State of Salvation
Followed by three main inter-related strands:
1.) More scientific leadership (as well as human relations)
2.) More ethical etc. leadership
3.) Virtual leadership
Explore YouTube through Facebook for more clips, including Design Science and Teaching as a Design Science. Many themes from Diana Laurillard recent book are also in talks as video. Scientific leadership could relate to quality ideas. There is also a talk by Gibson Burrell on a 3D model of factors in design.

23rd Concentrates on Cloudworks

Cloudworks is a case study in organisation and online learning as well as a store of content.
There is already a cloud for #mtw3 http://cloudworks.ac.uk/cloud/view/6043

“The Methods and Development of Crucible Research” follows a paper at the second conference. http://www.bronwenrees.co.uk/articles
This relates to ethical leadership.

In the morning there will be a radio show on Phonic FM including talk about a “design science DJ”. (like the rest of the project this is a test and may have several attempts till a recording is worth keeping)

24th Summary on LinkedIn

A look at the Work Foundation and innovation. Will there be any change in the approach to leadership? Knowledge Unlatched is a project for academic publishing that will connect with the strand on virtual leadership. Several changes have been noticed. The Grove Journal with an article by John Burgoyne was made available for free download through Scribd. Papers from the Networked Learning Conference are published online by Lancaster University, not as hard copy as previously. Similar cases may be noted at Cross Media in September.

22nd -24th August update re Design!?

While checking the links in the previous post I had a better look at the Critical Management site. They have now uploaded a video to YouTube with a keynote from Design!?

The slides are here. Powerpoint.You may need them as well to watch the video. This is very welcome that critique ideas are so available. With all the talk about design and design science it is useful to have a three dimensional diagram in mind. I think this video should be watched on day two alongside the Cloudworks discussion. Cloudworks is a form of design.

The CMS YouTube channel is here. I wonder if they have considered a Creative Commons licence so the Remix button would show up? Somebody might edit in the slides so it was easier to follow. Still, a single camera for forty minutes is an advance on a journal article protected by  a password.

22 - 24th August #mtw3 revision ahead of #crossmedia12

The summer seems to be drifting along but towards the end of August will be a good time for another look at #mtw3. There may still be a "face-to-face" at the Work Foundation later this year but I think there is a role for an online aspect concentrated in time. My colleague Will Pollard will be attending Cross Media Live in Islington early in September. This will include a look at digital media as well as print. #mtw3 could assist with theory for coping with disruption in organisations as well as preparing for new information on available technology.

Conferences online are not limited for the number of streams or the timing for any conversation. So far #mtw3 has covered various sites and often gone off into other groups on LinkedIn and Facebook. I think we should show all the links available. This blog will be updated but I find a Google search on #mtw3 works quite well. Topsy is also good for Twitter and other social media.

The dates of 22-24th August will be shown with a detailed list of topics for each day but things may not work out quite as intended. For the next week or so please make suggestions around the following outline.

22nd starts with YouTube and Facebook. It is harder to link to video on LinkedIn. Although there is an updated video for John Burgoyne the earlier version is still getting most views. The later one has actual video, not just the slides. So aim number one is to get this ahead of the  earlier one in YouTube views.

Out of this there could be discussion on "scientific leadership" and how to avoid traffic jams in China. On Facebook there is our own group ( search #mtw3 ) and also lots about virtual worlds and quality. This group on Bookfairs will find the others and relates to our themes ( see below).  There is also a group looking at educational policy guidelines from UNESCO.

On the 23rd we could look at Cloudworks both as an example of an e-learning project and for the clouds on
#mtw3, plan-do-check/study-act, and the Winterludes so far. PDC/SA may connect with "scientific leadership" and with design. Diana Laurillard recently wrote about teaching as design science. John Burgoyne has also written about leadership and design science but I am not sure if design science is widely understood.
The Winterludes are periods of time in mid winter when trade shows happen, usually including Online Information and BETT. This year starts with Cross Media Live and BETT Radio.

Of course there is a dark side to the clouds, just like everything else. The book "Cloud Time" has a lot of good points to make and somehow much of it turns up on Google Books. Although #mtw3 is promoted on the Critical Management site there have not yet been as many comments as may come later.

As the aim is to eventually arrive face-to-face at the Work Foundation, the third day will look at the Work Foundation website for views on leadership and innovation. Will John Burgoyne persuade anyone to think differently about leadership? The Big Innovation Centre has a project called Knowledge Unlatched that relates to academic publishing. Ahead of Cross Media Live this could be an occasion to look at social media in relation to print models. The focus will be on LinkedIn, search on "#mtw3".

Interest in Facebook diagram but #mtw3 scope continues on course

I notice that will789gb has posted about a diagram found on Facebook in a group discussing crowdsourced funding. This may be an active topic over the summer break but I would like to point out that the wider scope of #mtw3 continues. Just because virtual worlds remainj active at this time there is no need to lose sight of the face to face event that will happen eventually.

Please make sure to be my friend on LinkedIn to get the details when available.
