Faultlines

alan moore | www.smlxtralarge.com | no straight lines introduction 2011

As as a new economy takes hold, as a

consequence of the old one faltering, it

unleashes a powerful set of forces that cleave the

fabric of the economy along fault lines.

Between new industries and mature ones

Between modern organisations and firms that stay attached to the old ways

In capabilities between those trained to participate in the new technologies and those whose skills become increasingly obsolete

Structurally between thriving new industries and the old regulatory system

trailblazers

hospicing of old system

the emergence of a new system

collapse of system

the life and death of eco-systems

The trilemma of a non-linear world

Social Organisation

Economic

network complexity

social complexity systems complexity

Organisational, social, economic

change

Ambiguity: the coming age of

uncertainty

This non-linearity is causing a comprehensive restructuring of society at large – breaking old models of organisation

From (simple) linear to

WTF!? to (chaotic) non-linear

The bible visualised with all the inter-relationships it contains – a metaphor for the coming age

of uncertainty

Lets examine some of the forces that are creating this trilemma

Migration of economic power

Asocietythatdoesnotrecognisethemoralityof‘enough’willseeexcessesrisewhichvergeontheobscene

Capitalists,arecapitalism'sworstenemy‐andparticularlythemarketfundamentalisttendencywhichhasbeenintheascendantforthelast20years.

A society that does not recognise the morality of ‘enough’ will see excesses rise which verge on the obscene…

“Big firms have allowed themselves to be seen as detached from society” andrew witty, glaxosmithkline

“You judge a modern society, not by what it consumes but – by what

it throws away” zygmunt bauman

A more unfair world

The hungry spirit

Increasingly secular society swapping the wings of angels in a church…

Noisy ghosts in the machine

called life

in contrast, nowadays, a great many phobias and

depressions are linked to fearfulness of how to be in the

world and whether one is acceptable or not.

We are programmed to live a very limited life in the modern age

“What we are encountering is a panicky, an almost hysterical attempt to escape from the deadly anonymity of modern life… and the prime cause is not vanity… but the craving of people who feel their personality sinking lower and lower in the whirl of indistinguishable atoms to be lost in a mass civilisation”.

The most prescribed drug in the world is for depression

Our reaction to living in an ambiguous world… fearfulness

Fearfulness leads to fundamentalism…

Fundamentalism of many types

Intolerence…

… of many types

Our industrial world has deconstructed humanity almost to the point of deconstruction

Humanity is in the A&E

5min discussion: What do we think about; identity, communication, community?

Me, We – Jung re-wired for the 21st Century

I + We = why?

What affects us today has a great deal to do with answering this question

“Me We” Ali’s shortest poem

“I” Needs “We”

to truly be “I”

carl jung

Single Many

Other Family

Community

Self ?

Identity and belonging (community, and social cohesion) is defined by how we meaningfully connect with the world around us

“Happiness is only real when it is shared”

Human nature is not like a machine

Coordination Vs.

Cooperation

power This is a story about

Access to, and, the (RE)distribution of knowledge allows us to renegotiate the relationships of power; church,

state, government, society, commerce

Q: did the Catholic church see Gutenberg coming?

Gutenbergs little wooden printing press was used as the tool by Martin Luther to overthrow the hegemony of the church in Europe and change the direction of political power

A technological revolution…

Designing for participatory cultures

Folk culture ?

Culture made by the folk by us you and me - participatory

http://www.Hlickr.com/photos/nathaninsandiego/2723981272/

Everyday creativity is no longer either trivial or quaintly authentic, but instead occupies central stage in discussions of the media industries and their future in the context of digital culture

Participatory culture

2005 YouTube

36 hours video every 60 secs of every day

Facebook A congregation of 650 million

Myspace Destroyed by News Corp

“Precedents for conceiving political change. 18th Century France, it was the language used by pamphleteers, and journalists as the rhetoric of public action”. tony judt, ill fares the land

Craigslist and the

“paid for” classified ad

market

Newspapers did not

understand the language

of a non-linear world

“The production of shared software is communism” steve balmer

Mutuality is our business strategy” Alan Rusbridger –

Language enables us to properly describe the world around us, and engage in meaningful action

Everyone has a voice || The tools of creativity are widely distributed || It’s easy and cheap to experiment || Capability counts for more than credentials and titles || Commitment is voluntary || Power is granted from below || Authority is fluid and contingent on value-added || The only hierarchies are “natural” hierarchies || Communities are self defining || Individuals are richly empowered with information || Just about everything is decentralized || Ideas compete on an equal footing || It’s easy for buyers and sellers to find each other || Resources are free to follow opportunities || Decisions are peer-based.

Interconnected business models

Ubiquity = Everywhere

An “old-new” cultural economy: markets are conversations

“20th Century economics mistakenly assumed that market transactions are an ideal and even default model for human interactions. But some kinds of value can’t be created by markets, only by a set of shared and mutually coordinating assumptions – cultural”. clay shirkey

5 min discussion: Take an organisation: use 2 alternative descriptions that describe it in very different ways – how does that language change the way you think it acts?

Disruption does not ask permission

Nokia will never release a touch-screen phone!

So somebody else did…

Apple’s market cap is the 3rd largest in the world. Nokia had 40% market share and makes $1bn Apple has 3% and makes $1bn

Lets talk about Android…

… Android could earn Google $10bn per year – Eric Schmidt

You no longer need to rent someone else’s audience

Booz & company estimates that by 2015 the $ volume of physical goods sold through social media should rise six fold to $30bn from $5bn this year – and sales of services through social media are equally promising

Refined data the black gold of the 21st Century
