People's most critical life experiences are spent in flow, so why do we measure the whole world in boxes (answer because...):

Some cases my family has deep experiences with (do you have an experience case to testify about):
chronic illness
children's education
community - condominium, Scottish holiday island's main promenade

Moreover networks exponentially compound the opportunity and the risk of not collaborating around flow. At collaboration gold, we build on 22 years of debates of the networking economy which we 1 2 first explored in a 1984 future history on death of distance. The opportunity today is to treasure map for collaboration gold - a gold far more valuable than history's races to discover and stake ownership to a gold mine because the value multiplies the more people who collaborate around the same golden web. What are examples of collaboration gold treasure maps:

translations of languages and cross-cultural exchanges (the more diverse the richer)

education for children up to hi-trust communal leaders

Media and searches for questions the world would most urgently unite round finding answers

Basic prevention of diseases/addictions, and other waves where the first critical incident is the best chance to ensure an evil, virus or natural fault line does not propagate compound and global damage

Clean water/soils, sunshine energy

Cross-cultural celebrations making places safe so that many cultures and different needs can interact sustaining goodwill to all who participate transparently try to nurture faith, hope and love transparently and wherever life blossoms. This can be a lot of work to do- in fact impossibly complex unless you use seek maps to help intgration: collaboratively compounding every context’s trust-flow and seamlessly bridging the contextual goodwills of true human relationships

AND WARPING THROUGH WHAT HISTORICAL CONSTRAINTS ARE NO LONGER TRUE

ClueFlow 1 2 ...when most value was tangible (ie not about human service, comsumed up in use) it may have been the case that it would have cost richer people in the world something to end extremes of poverty in other parts of the world; this is no longer true. Do a simple though experiment: what is the logical basis of saying that the whole world would not be wealthier if the 2 billion poorest people living on day to day susbsistence levels were given access to a more productive and well as health-sustaining life from birth up? In 22 years, I have not found anyone who answers that question in a way that gives me a single worry about promising you that if we all treasure map for collaboration gold, we can develop a world in which the systemisation of poverty is ended without any cost to trustworthy rich people

Currently, the world flow is used with 2 meanings that are world's apart. Depressingly all teh world's businessmen think first of the meaning of flow that destroys the value of all human futures, and many of them do not even practically know the second meaning exists.

Cashflow is an example of type 1 meaning. It counts up dead things (money, stocks). Separates who owns them or what business unit controls which dead things.

The other type of flow compounds all future value - human and natural. It propagates through waves that cannot be controlled as rulers from King Canute To George Bush have repeatedly discovered at the cost of others. It multiplies by breeding through life's pattern rules. It interacts molecules causing inventions that may be explosively useful or destructive. It is mapmaking of this type of flow that this weblog wishes to expl,ore. It turns out to be very simple to do if you always ask what multiplies and connects before you ask what spearates adds, addicts)

http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html 22 years ago we mapped how the
crises of globalisation would compound loss of human sustainability if economics of the big gets bigger was governed by organisational accounting, instead of the contextually valuable gets more empowering- beyond economics if you will

5 years ago I recall interviewing Margaret Blair chair of Unseen Wealth at Georgetown Law School - so Texan's incoming administration did not believe her team's scenarios of how every risk gets greater the more the world's organisations have no information relevant to what wealth is being sustainably compounded or destroyed; she was hopeful that EU Intangibles research -further ref 1 would lead the way out; I have interviewed the main funder of that 3 times now and its not the absence of researchers or his lack of interest; its the way that powers that be chop the funds the nearer intangibles valuation gets to concluding that gee whiz we need to invest in people as a priority over machines, and trust-flow as a priority over image-making divorced from reality, and transparency maps as a priority over organisational networks that are all silos just where the safest connections are needed if the compound consequences are not to be terrible

similarly we know quite a few folk in Beyond Branding, Beyond Corporate Social
Responsibility, Citizens organisations http://civil-society.blogspot.com that
encourage one or more of the top 10 entrepreneurial revolution paradigms of
2006 http://entrepreneurialrevolution.blogspot.com

so the countdown's started who would actually want to go down in history as the last manager

take two- if you need more serious references:

My father penned an entrepreneurial revolution trilogy - the first 2 parts if
The Economist of 1976 and 1982, the third part a book I co-authored of the
first generation 1984-2024 to simultaneously confront being networked globally
and locally , and all the crises of death of distance - it was all about
ending management by top-down alone; in a service economy people love to do
stuff from contexts up including learning to work with those fussy customers
who happen to know where every society wants a global sector to evolve. The
greatest stock market return over the last generation is 100 fold achieved by
a company that multiplied far more value than that by letting employees work
with customers to change what society next needed from the sector. Service
economics is about management becoming facilitator not bully. Indeed a psychology professor who also wrote Harvard's textbook on service marketing says his number 1 replicable finding is that a service sector can be defined as one where the customer knows how the boss treats the employee by the way the employee treats the customer. Human relations systems dynamics of this sort lives on over at http://flowtrue.blogspot.com As my father
reminds me - management is from the french -breaking in of horses - surely a
21st C view of leadership can go beyond breaking in workers

Next if you look at all the works of Peter Drucker - and anywhere he used the
phrase knowledge worker - tell me if you can find a single paragraph that was
not about unmanagement

My father knew Peter Drucker reasonably well - he certainly never heard Peter
advocating the need for global top management down of the sort that is so
mistakenly valued by those professional semi-monopolies that advocated
knowledge management from Andersen down

Let's go back to the French word entrepreneur - taking back (an asset or rules
that are no longer sustaining the healthiest future exponentials) so that
society all people can be more productive

So it is with great pleasure at Entrepreneurial Revolution and ER100 we have
started to map ER's family tree, and all the new emergent networks: social
entrepreneur, microentrepreneur, changemakers, gameschangers and others that
are giving citizens organisation wholly opposite systems of governance than
top-down only. The civil society networking age is waving around the world,
and transparently the only question now is who really wants to go down in
history as the last manager.

Now KM: Why Was I Not Told About That http://wwintat.blogspot.com

FLOW QUESTIONS CONNECTING WEALTH*HEALTH OF ALL OUR TOMORROWS
What flows do people and families invest and compound with? – lifetimes, positive human relationship energy systems (eg social networks), valuing interdependence across generations -see footnote)

What flows do societies cooperatively invest:
Education systems
Community communications systems (media, cross-cultural griavities)
Natural Resource systems
Transport (place to place experiencing and channel) systems

COMING WARS BETWEEN GOODWILL & BADWILL NETWORKS
What does the worldwide web (the double revolution propagating around all people alive 1984-2024 on communications and transport) invest
– collaboration waves wherever value can now be multiplied in use or networked so one’s waste is another’s input
– networks connecting systems of systems of systems

Valuing Humanity’s Sustainability
Up to century 21 (here's how what happens next depends on you and everyone you connect with 1 2 3 4) , the human race declared its interdependence at least as far as having faith, hope and love for tomorrows children signifying everything

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,To the last syllable of recorded time;And all our yesterdays have lighted foolsThe way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,And then is heard no more: it is a taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing."
--From Macbeth (V, v, 19)

TIMING: Collaboration Gold Treasure Maps are not always immediately profitable to anyone, even though the future they compound will multiplies an order of magnitude more wealth and health for all

WHY?

T1 Need to connect different people’s logs – thousands of jigsaw pieces from each deep grassroot collaboration gold up

T2 Emergent map that helps me most may not help you most because at that time we are ion different parts of the jigsaw; but we will need to understand each other’s patches so the map goes all ways round

T3 Map is trying to resolve conflict points, often many and exponentially deepened ones, where someone is knowingly or unknowingly profiting from the old way round while decreasing the sustainability of more and more people who are also connected to the gravitational hub (read this system paper on why those ruled by an old system cannot harmonise/innovate one that multiplies far more abundant value, and civilisations can disappear if we fiddle overlong while any Rome burns. Methods (catalogue) to resolve this include open space

Systems Methods Catalogue

advanced constructs for certifying experience of correspondents of collaboration treasure mapping include: library of the most unique papers of 20th C systems experts; why trueflow matters more than separating; 21 crisis global market sector exponentials for century 21; map other world leading libraries of why didn’t anyone ever tell me about that (RSA, Ashoka DVDS,.. help us search nominations)

Understanding Open Space ; other best uses of real-time when large groups of people meet; best ways to mobilise teams and generate communal projects including collaboration cafe and collaboration knowledge city; best uses of email, web-log (treasure map collaboration gold);best ways to scale and integrate all this (pledge, 30000 projects); pledges and million people webs

Navigating family tree of entrepreneurial revolution, including urgent specials:
-2005-2015 make arenas of social entrepreneur Olympics more popular than spectator sports
-ER100 survey: nominate one of 100 people whose alumni networks all children and teachers could benefit from knowing
survey: is economics compounding the futures peoples need - which sampling frames can we get feedback from - eg Shareholders of The Economist, different branches of the Entrepreneurial Revolution Tree, different hemispheres and culture eg Dalai Lama Courage & Emotional Intelligence school of valuing leadership (positive emotional energies of service economy attract each other as unfortunately do negative emotional energies)
-understand first 30 years of mapping social entrepreneurs, and whose been doing this –Drayton-nets, Macrae-nets , India-Gandhi-nets, www-nets : who else :
-what are the worldwide lead areas - 16 dvds; how are projects for all being open sourced in health for all, in (you choose a for all area - and we will try to guide you to whose developing the grassroots rising mosaic for classifying projects most needed)
-ER triangles such as smallest voice planted as millions of seeds (eg children born into particular crisis areas) * media/mediation/conversation spaces * big power clustering around biggest collaboration risk they could save these smallest voices futures on
-30 years of scriptwriting the internet as biggest media and transport revolutions ever known; timelining critical development stages of the first networked generation (1984-2024); other open source scripts to be debated wherever communities rising: eg stories of inconvenient truth and what to do about these challenges; stories of Unseen Wealth and who's doing what about these?
-secrets about surveys and asking questions be these market research, journalism, or the new democratic learning games of networks (grounded theory, constructing democrat learning games so that everyone can iteratively be involved in uncertain futures as which biotechnology maps to fats forward and which to go softly softly - wouldn't the world have been better off if much of nuclear had been advanced softly instead of at full speed)
-how does on open source so everyone can multiply value as much as they participate but core guidelines of development are certified/mentored by those with the original or most life critical understandings

pattern rules of networks: networks are systems*systems*systems - one lose-lose-lose system in a network can bring the whole network down; many professions over the last few decades have unwittingly committed the same mathematical mistake of ignoring multiplication's connectivity whilst they have separated out their monopolies by value added chaining
nature punishes those who do not internalise their most risky externalities; her evolutionary punishments have including extinction - cases
