Enterprises build complexity so that people joining the firm think it is complicated. Enterprises reduce standard deviations rather than encouraging individuality. Trust: the 'cc' button should be the 'ac' - ass-cover... 'bc' really doesn't encourage trust - hidden conversation in public. As far as JP is considered, Enron was SarBox compliant, but that doesn't mean they were right. Team: inside a person's head in an enterprise, they don't want to share information. In an enterprise, the incentives are not aligned to allow people to be the social animal they are naturally. Lateral movement in a firm is not encouraged. Time: If your staff get things done, why do you care what they do? When computers entered the enterprise, that caused "batch thinking". Symbols, conventions... For today's generation, they don't accept batch, they don't think of time in the same conventional way. Technology: things have changed in an enterprise so that only 4 types of application are needed: search, where you put in a term or a wildcard rather than an ID - probabalistic, rather than deterministic; subscription to information; fullfilment for goods and services; and the last which is needed for all the rest to work, conversation. "Hyperlinks subvert hierarchies" - Dave Weinberger. Teenagers: in the previous generation, you had to be a professional working in a big industry to play with technology, now kids get involved. The technology adoption curve has been inverted so that much new technology is explored by the new generation. You have to learn how to take kids' tools and embed them in the enterprise. They come trained. The experience of the 14-yr old is better than that of the 40-yr old. Today: in my father's day, you had one job. In my generation, I will have 7 jobs. In my son's generation, he will also have 7 jobs, but at the same time. The next level of disaggregation of employment is taking place in front of us. There is the next change happening in front of us. 100 years ago if you worked for a bank, you could only use the company pen. Imagine telling a new kid that. Well, we are telling them that, because the laptop they carry is their device, personalized to them. They are used to any device, any connection, any time and they CAN multitask. "The future is here, it's just unevenly distributed." Stick something on YouTube and if you don't tag it, you can't find it. Use a one-time tag and you can. Same with Flickr. We have to learn in enterprises how to break down the walls between it and the web.

Decafinating "T" * Terror Enterprises are scared of change! * Trust Bankrupt originates from a beakdown of Trust. CC should be AC (arse covering!) what value is there in a BCC button, how do you build trust. You can't legislate for trust. * Team Shows http://www.osmosoft.com team photo: * Time Google's 20% is fine, but what about the other 80%, concentrate on outputs, not inputs. So long as my staff get things done, I don't care what they do with their time! Modern generation think that way, they don't understand outputs. Batch thinking became Enterprise thinking. * Technology Grinding my teeth on way back from LedZepplin concert (yes I was there!) how I can present. RippleRap was used to build this presentation. If you follow my blog then you'll be aware of the Four Pillars you need for enterprise: # search without a customer id # eventing, RSS # fulfillment booking a meeting room, booking a flight # conversation, blogs, wikis endanger conversation The [[cluetrain manefesto|http://www.cluetrain.com]] is at the heart of my thinking. David Weinberger said "hyperlinks subvert hierarchies" * Teenagers You don't have to train or teach teenagers how to use tools, they already know, it's you who has to learn from them! * Today I'll have seven jobs in my life, same is true for children today, except they'll have them all at the same time! 100 years ago when you worked for a bank you could only use the company pen, what's the difference now? Hide things in plain sight? We have the technologies now, it's called the Web, yay!

"structure creates strategy" you dont have to train the youth, you need to learn about and understand the tools which they already understand and fit them into the enterprise.

Mentions Alan Kay...the best way to predict the future is to invent it. Perhaps the best way to do so now is to prevent it. Ts in the enterprise that need decaffeinated. ''Terror'': What happens when you let individuals take control in an Enteprise? Abject terror. Why build systems that are so complicated that IT departments can say "this is too complicated - you won't understand it", and use that as an excuse for not giving the user control. ''Trust'': At the heart of any community or activity, and should be at the heart of an enterprise. Example: copying in someone's boss when you ask someone to do it. cc button, bc button - hidden conversations, large enterprises break down trust when they do it. ''Team'': Osmosoft photo! From http://www.flickr.com/photos/philliecasablanca/2049169747/in/set-72157603244040922/ - team structure (silos and walls) prevent effective transfer of information, and that creates problems. ''Time'': I get confused when Google say they allocate 20% of their time to an activity. What about the other 80%? We should concentrate on outputs, not inputs. Judge people by their results. ''Technology'': don't like powerpoint. TiddlyWiki, open source tool - used for this presentation. Lets people make their notes offline, and then upload them when they want. Four types of technology needed in an enterprise. Search, Syndication, Fulfillment, Conversation - bring together the blogs, instant messaging, etc. across silos. Mentions Cluetrain Manifesto - hyperlinks subvert hierarchies. ''Today'': a wonderful place to be. The technology and the talent are now here. In this generation, we have seven jobs in a lifetime. In the next generation, they could have seven jobs at the same time. There is a war for talent brewing. ''Teenagers'': younger people are more adept at using new technology than we are. Sharply inverted in the last decade. Enterprise 2.0 isn't happening, not because the technology isn't there, but rather because the people are in the way.

It was hard to tell from where I was. I witnessed several people approching JP to give ''very'' positive feedback later in the day.
