Yet another fantastic discussion shared with us all, thank you RSA.org!
Hammersley's brilliant & he gets double props from me for being from my olde hometown of leicester.
''If we don't reassess how we deal with email, we can't REALLY solve any other problem in society'' - a very very good thought at my opinion. People these days (i'd dare to claim throughout entire history of human race) tend to disregard most of everyday details that are in fact rather important basis upon which we build our lives.
just started the video and I have to say that is one gorgeous moustache!
The voice of a prophet speaking to us from the past...
at first i was like wow that's one mustache then i was like shit i haven't been listening
It's wonderful to listen to new points of view. Still I disagree almost entirely. Open offices are great, I don't mind people watching my screen, and technology is amazing to get to the bottom of things.
I love how he puts "perhaps" in front of every sentence though.
I, on the other hand, agree completely. I love being close to my team, but god forbid I actually need to get some serious work done and time matters (with 3 people talking loudly next to me and mail coming in every 10 minutes or so...). On top of that there is zero reason for me to be in the office, ever, that a 50 EUR multi-function printer can't fix.
I prefer the more direct statement "We're optimizing for communication and collaboration far too much. ... The technology is actively preventing you from doing good work."
We need to empower individuals, remove their terror of silver backs, and help them learn how to believe in their own abilities. They have to ditch the "fitting in, respect" culture, and learn how to collaborate outside the old-style hierarchical structures from a position of strength.
And totally agree, we need to measure based on creative output, not on trivia such as speed of response.
Only then can collaboration produce results. And it needs to be face to face, and sometimes even 1-2-1.
history of human SPECIES !
What a fantastic moustache.
By teaching them how to grow food effectively and fostering economic growth sufficient for them to get jobs that allow them to afford housing.
The trouble with technology is really trouble with people. Too many lack the discipline to use it the get to the bottom, rather than skim the surface.
Organize simple.
...but seriously though, how is this guy not Stephen Fry?
Does anyone else see a skinny Stephen Fry with a moustache?
this guy doesn't get it. Keeping junior people late and using open offices aren't about trying to get more productivity. It is and ALWAYS WAS about power and control.
Holy shit! This guy looks like a bald Stephen Fry.
