In fact, it has me interested in exploring additional grad schools and what they highlight. 00:34:00 Craig McGee: Favorite: Corporate Rebels article. Appreciate seeing self-managing work systems are still viable. 00:39:26 Andrew Williams: Favorite: Corporate Rebels. Why? Because we have many clients that are thinking of IT as "value creators". Also, the implicit design decisions that the company made (customer centric) are fascinating in the pros & cons thta stem from that 00:42:42 Bill Zybach: Andrew, that is an awesome insight about the design choices (whether it is conscious or unconscious) - e.g., product vs customer - which Designers see as strategic criteria for designing…. 00:45:05 Deb Peluso: Deep Tech collaboration - I like what you are saying about both parties' responsibilities in getting to a productive relationship and outcome. 00:45:10 Deb Peluso: Thanks Bruce 00:49:59 Andrew Williams: Janet - is this like a triage process? 00:55:02 Bill Zybach: The Culture Questions are really relevant to the C Suite folks as well as a mission focus for culture rather than the traditional mechanistic approach to cultuer…. 01:01:49 Bruce Mabee: Bill, I like your highlighting of the both-and view of the relationships in the Framework article. 01:02:27 Bill Zybach: Q: What are the themes from our discussion today - 01:03:16 Bill Zybach: Q-2 - Is there any article/research/direction that you would like us to incorporate into the future of these calls/newletter 01:05:28 Deb Peluso: Reactions from the discussion: shifting from cost centers to value creation. This ties to the definition of digitization in the Seeing through the Network article. 01:05:52 Bruce Mabee: Theme from us: Zen. We've explored and shifted among so many dimensions today, which is a capability that I need and my clients need. 01:05:58 Andrew Williams: Theme of themes: fuzzy boundaries and how do we manage in that environment. 01:06:17 Andrew Williams: Can we look at "digitization" and value creation 01:07:11 Janet du Preez: Sorry didn't add my notes earlier. Shared case study re help desk role reversal - filtering tickets through senior techs and the implications for coaching and mentoring and fast tracking development of techies. Casting seniors in role of coach rather than boss from the get go. 01:12:02 Richard Thayer: What are the personal competences and cultural characteristics required for digital working? These may be mindsets, skills, or capabilities, but transcend industry, business, and function. I'd like to see research and/or analyses that focuses on specifics that might help my clients get their arms around this timely topic. 01:12:10 Bruce Mabee: One of the standouts about these sessions is just getting to hear the range of thoughtful and humble responses that the unique people in this group give to each question. 01:13:54 Deb Peluso: This is some research we did with the US military who needed to learn how to work with NGOs (both US and international). Might be helpful as we explore cross-cultural competence. In this case, we were exploring national culture, organizational culture, and mission-focused culture. It would be interesting to see if you all think this type of research applies to the networked and digitized organizations we are all supporting. www.dtic.mil/get-tr-doc/pdf?AD=ADA567464 01:14:20 Craig McGee: No theme. Just observation about how our work is shifting to designing “ecosystems” including many stakeholders and “designing” relationships among them.
