Lee Bryant @ Reboot … The Network Era Is Here To Stay

Via Bertrand Duperrin (whom I enjoyed meeting in Montreal in May .. a very clever and passionate fellow who scours the Web for everything related to Enterprise 2.0).

The network era has been here and has been growing and is here to stay … and there is an opportunity to use technology to help us all, organizations and corporations included, become less technocratic.

At least that’s how I interpret Lee Bryant’s thoughtful and well-put-together presentation.

I share his belief that large organizations won’t be disappearing any time soon.  I also think that many large corporations will be comprised of many small and some large networks, and those networks are made up of people … their brains, their emotions, and their motivations.

It more than time for organizations large and small to recognize that the machine metaphor and assumptions about machine-like structures and dynamics can’t cope effectively with complexity and ongoing change as well as resilient human networks in which understanding and positive motivation reside.

Dare I say that this presentation reminds me of the concept I call “wirearchy” ?

Thanks, Lee, for this clear and compelling presentation.  I wish I had been at Reboot this year … aiming to make it to Copenhagen next year.

Perhaps I’ll see you in Montreal at WebCom this fall.
