Welcome to the (Hardware) Revolution
And the Rise of the Connected Individual
#Glia #theconnectedrevolution
Open source knowledge, the connected individual in the networked organization, and things like 3D printing will change everything the fundamentals of our economic foundations.
The Glia Network, and Glia Franchises (more on this in the coming weeks) pulls together these trends to knit together the organizational model of the future.
It is a win for people who have always been constricted by the choking maze of the corporate bureaucracy and hierarchy, it is a win for the end consumer, and it is a win for society. Social technologies and networks, the hardware revolution, and the desire to create the change we want, will break us free of the corporate oligarchies we live under now.

"During your working lives, you will have to reinvent yourselves many times. Success and satisfaction will not come from mastering a fixed body of knowledge but from constant adaptation and creativity in a rapidly changing world. Engaging with and applying new technologies will be a crucial part of that adaptation."
Very useful advice to anyone. We have to wonder if the traditional MBA is on the way out since it prepares people for a lifetime at a relatively few number of companies.

My first Garbologie lead
Some of you will be aware that I am in the process of launching a new waste business called Garbologie. It will develop into a network of specialised waste processing businesses, starting with mattress dismantling.
Well, in some exciting news, I got my first enquiry to supply Garbologie with mattresses and I haven't even done any advertising yet! None. Not a peep from me. What I have done is my announcement here, in my blog, on FB and twitter that the business is coming.
Yep, that's right. I was contacted by a large local landfill wanting me to take their mattresses (several thousand per year). How did they find me? Google! All of this work in blogging, building a presence in G+, Facebook, Twitter. Worth it.
Building a cloud of authenticity and chatter is not just fun, but it also pays.

A Quick Glia Update
The Road Ahead
#Glia
To get Glia to a fully functional networked organization, will take the dedication and buy in of 75 to 150 people. People dedicated enough to get on a plane, fly to Vancouver for a Glia Bootcamp and Hackathon!
What we will learn together our purpose, and how we will use the Glia OS in this continuous loop of investing, creation, producing, marketing, selling, serving a Glia customer base in a manner that grows them and Glia in a self sustaining eco-system.
Everyone in that loop plays a role in the grander loop of creation and redistribution.
After numerous unsuccessful attempts, I have no illusions now as to just how much work this is going to take! It is a full time job!
It is with this in mind, that Glia needs to bring in the right mix of social, knowledge and financial capital so I can dedicate my fu... more »

Sustainability in Action
Walking the Walk
#sustainability
This is a pretty significant step.
Meanwhile, Kingfisher is attempting to drive a massive change in consumer behavior. It is seeking to introduce new “closed loop” products, which will be completely reused and recycled so they never enter the waste stream. The company also aims to rent or lease some products, instead of selling them, which would reduce resource use while providing the same level of service to customers. MIT SMR spoke to Nick Folland, the company’s legal and corporate responsibility director, about the challenges of developing and implementing the Net Positive plan.

One of the main challenges of rewarding corporate social responsibility, especially the measures that are most important to you, is simply understanding the corporate ownership of any product you buy. Many of the largest corporations own numerous brands and subsidiaries, and so it can be very difficult to know precisely who owns what. I suspect this vastly undermines the effectiveness of boycott activities, if these activities can be said to have any effect at all (sometimes they do; mostly they don't).
Such understanding can allow you to make buying choices that are consistent with your principles. That's why this app is important, and I am happy that such a thing exists. It is a tool I had wanted to create some years ago, but didn't have the knowledge to get started (even now, the thought of collecting this data seems daunting).

The Future of Everything

#livingsystems
A couple of points. Old style organizational models won't be able to adapt to this sort of future.
Organizational models that are based on living systems, will have be the distinguishing difference.
That aside, this is a pretty insightful look into where things may be going.

"Tech culture, he [Jaron Lanier] believes is wrong on both a technical and spiritual level. It's a way of looking at the world, he says, in which the information gathered from people -- is more valuable than the people themselves.

A Public Service Announcement
Completely Redesigning the Social Business Enterprise
#Glia #thesmartrevolution #sciencesunday
What do you get when you design the social business organizational model from scratch? When you look at the problems you have to solve, and look around using science and other systems that have shown to solve a lot of these problems?
What do you get when you combine gamification, sports, music, business, science, social networks and a deep down belief that we as people are capable of so much more?
And a fanatical pitchman who will stop at nothing?
Curious?

//The Weekend Read
The ecosystem inside you
"Half of your stool is not leftover food. It is microbial biomass"
Your body harbors trillions of bacteria that have profound effects on your health, your weight, and even your mood.
Some 80 percent of an individual's gut flora comes from his or her mother. A newborn exits the womb microbe-free, but is colonized by the mother's vaginal bacteria as it passes through the birth canal. Babies born via caesarean section, it turns out, enter life with an entirely different, and less diverse, collection of bacteria, which may help explain why they're at increased risk of asthma, obesity, and type-1 diabetes. Breast milk, unlike formula, also delivers maternal bacteria that help the immune system develop.

Markets Are Amoral
People Are Immoral
#capitalism #ethics #irrationalmarkets #Glia
Neat share by +Jorn Bettin this morning, that highlights points one of the more, um, rational economists, John Kenneth Galbraith made repeatedly. Capitalism/markets are amoral, it is people that give it its morality or lack thereof.
Back when we operated in smaller tribes, poor moral or ethical choices could be moderated through a variety of evolved mechanisms. However, once civilization began to scale, these mechanism were easily exploited. Ever since, humanity has struggled with how to morality and ethical standards in market exchanges. Keeping in mind that markets have been around since there were civilizations.
As this article indicates, we can rage in moral indignation at many things the "market" produces, but our shopping habits indicate otherw... more »

Neologism as a key to clarity.
Sometimes to think outside the box, it's better to escape the past.
Quote: Mere language-laundering risks bringing forward baggage from prior confused use. New and neutral language can be key to what Daniel Dennett ... calls “jootsing,” which is an acronym for “jumping out of the system” (an idea from Douglas Hofstadler). Dennett doesn’t say this but unencumbered coinages like jootsing can enable jootsing. To terminate terminological wrangling and deconfuse a field, sometimes requires clear-cutting key category-defining terms, restarting with a blank semantic slate, and rebuilding clusters of characteristics around new, neutral labels.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions
And A Renewed Focus
#Glia #buildingthefuture
What would become Glia was a blueprint (so to speak) I had developed to transform old style organizations into organizations of the future. I would be a consultant in that process.
When it met G+, social networks being a pillar (so to speak) in the design of any organization of the future, it was like meeting nirvana.
My mind, and the seemingly endless array of opportunities exploded.
Along the way, Glia's open ended possibilities became many things to many people. That was a great thing, and a bad thing. By trying to be everything to every one, it became an unfocused mass, an idea everybody seemed to like, but nobody knew what to do with.
For myself, the internal conflict also began to grow. Was I a 'consultant'? Or was I a builder?

Big Pharma

My brother +Brad Esau is both a survivor of this myth, and now an active writer and advocate against this myth of the "chemical imbalance" theory. This also goes hand in hand with a piece from the NYT recently, on how the psychiatry's guide to mental disorders is "out of touch with science" and lacks "scientific validity" (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/07/health/psychiatrys-new-guide-falls-short-experts-say.html?smid=go-share&_r=0)

This is one of those pieces that makes me so excited and pumped about the Glia model for networked organization. It is explicitly designed for developing big ideas, and having the networked develop track to take the ideas through to maturity.
