Integratio While my Dutch is still far from perfect I am happy with any opportunity to reach local audiences. One of them was writing two articles on blogging for Dutch magazine Informatie Professional – on weblog as an instrument to develop ideas and as a networking tool. Next to the hard work of translating insights from my PhD research it involved serious magic of turning work submitted in one language into a publication in another, so big thanks to everyone involved.

But the method that I use to arrive at conclusions is itself an application of integral theory . have explained my take on this in the following article: Beyond Perspectives, Reductionisms and Layers , which appeared in Integral Review, Issue 1, 2005 (June), pp. A critique of SD/Integral, [link] Citation from Daniel Gustav Anderson: By “after Wilber” I mean that the sun has set on Wilber’s project in a number of ways, at least as a practical and intellectual project.

Integratio It feels strange now, almost at the end of my PhD work, to come back to the themes and topics from the beginning of it. Like a few weeks ago, when the post by Jack Vinson brought back the metaphor of a weblog as a front porch from the discussions in 2004 . I’ve been playing with city-related metaphors for a long time, heavily inspired by the book by Danish architect Jan Gehl “ Life between buildings “.

this type of integration could help people understand what the resulting user experience would be like. Despite this plug-in, I still believe IBM has made a fundamental and perhaps unrecoverable competitive mistake by not being radically more aggressive regarding SharePoint integration. usability, communities, wiki) rather than dramatically improving its integration with SharePoint (adopting a "surround and extend" tactic). Well-worth your time checking out the demo (just follow the link below). If you are using SharePoint but are considering Lotus Connections for blogs, communities,

Unless one has nothing else to do, blogging survives only if integrated into the everyday world. Integratio Behind my PhD research is an interest in translating practices of early adopters of weblogs into something that those that come after them might use: an understanding of relative advantage of blogging in knowledge-intensive environments and it’s compatibility with existing practices. Below is another piece from the final chapter of my dissertation, the one where I draw the implications of my findings for an individual knowledge worker, a pragmatist, who wants to know what

Integration Digital trace Coffee table in Enschede (Office) in a tired mood by Johan Koolwaaij For a long time I’ve been interested in the fuzzy, informal, accidental and non-goal oriented parts of knowledge work – things that we often do implicitly, but that are actually essential to create a foundation to get things done later on. Normally a lot of those activities are happening in and around of the the physical space.

Scrum and Agile are wonderful team organizational systems.  It’s been easy to see the benefits, but over time, we’ve started to see some issues appear.  Since the benefits are measurable and the battle to get Agile accepted has been hard-fought, those that have suggested there may be improvements to the system have been treated with suspicion.  No one wants to go back to the mistakes

Integration methodology Chapter 2. In my dissertation I describe uses of weblogs as a sense-making instrument that provides a way to deal with unexpected or complex ideas by supporting articulation and organising ideas at a personal level combined with distributed collaborative thinking in “ sense-making networks “. While exploring this theme as part of the content of my research was somewhat expected, I did not realise how much reflecting on practices of others and my blogging experiences in that respect would challenge my research methodology-wise.

Make it part of “work as usual” – make sure that spending some time on blogging is perceived as normal, account for it in performance appraisals, integrate it with other technologies in your organisation.

Still not happy, but here it is (in a slightly updated form). ***
