Hi,

Interesting inclusive geographical perceptions generated by the growing use of social media and social networking in our lives around the world....!

Remapping the World

"Political borders remain among the most fundamental obstacles to human progress around the world. And yet while a borderless world could be a great thing, we can't assume it into being. We have to actually build it. Nothing would make a greater contribution toward removing justifications for armed conflict and toward economic development. In the next decade, drawing a new map of the world won't be just a worthy goal, it will become a moral, economic and strategic imperative.

Hi, I've stuck something up on Wikipedia which does not conform to the
formal standards, but, hopefully, something will emerge!
I am using the term with some ease now in circles ranging from

Re: Mike 2.0 and VNA

I don't think size is a factor for either. In my ONA work when we have surveyed what critical information people receive either from others or information repositories I typically find the information demands rarely reflect what top down governance might design. In fact I believe the top down approach leads to a lot of waste and information repositories that are heavily under-utilised. The other common finding is the much larger degree of human brokers to information repositories that exist than one might expect. In other words people rely more on other people to access information repositories because they can get a qualified response rather than having to rely on the quality of the raw data.

Ah, right, thanks Laurence.
So MIKE 2.0 strives at similar objectives - to manage the quantity and type
of information - but it assumes that an authority can know the extent of the
information that emerges and is capable of making central decisions about
it?
Do you think that a governance model could distribute responsibility back to

I had a quick browse, but for me it isn't a natural fit. It looks like a typical top down information management framework with perhaps a slight acknowledgement of the networks near the bottom on the collaborative environments. Information is only one dimension of value. Top down compliance is different to the peer to peer accountability that VNA promotes.

Hi all,
Has anyone here tried to put VNA into the context of Deloitte's MIKE

VNA would seem a natural fit, but my search got no

Hi Eric,

Thanks for sharing these informative links. During my navigation in these links I found other relevant transformational concepts such as binary economics and integral nondualisim.

I do agree with << Value Network modeling is a fast and effective way
to capture the context behind business processes. The Enterprise
Edition can bring together data from workflow and process tools along
with HR staffing tools to predict exactly where your work packages or
processes are most likely to break down - and show how to more

Enriching Context for Business Processes

2010-02-07T18:29:46Z

Instead of plugging people into processes, why not wrap processes
around people?
In a recent blog, The Winds of Change, Gartner's Jim Sinur suggests
this and more:
"Processes need to wrap themselves around people in way that seems
unthinkable today. This will only happen when the processes are
context enriched.

This paper is a good place to start: [link] [1] particularly
for its relating to (all) the traditional elements (and references for
you). The point, for me, being that it isn't a thing unto itself, but a
recognition of holistics <[link]> [2]. And after all, isn't
that the nature, if not the point, of vna?
