In the last 10 years they’ve been a part of every web project I’ve worked on.

The right processes – broadly based in agile methodologies but this should not be limited to the development or production part of the job. There’s no doubt that buying in digital expertise, and getting down and dirty with hardcore tech and ‘the right process’ will move things along but, ultimately, it’s merely playing catch-up in a world where the pendulum of change is still swinging very rapidly. Another week, another blog post on the subject of “why creative advertising folk need to embrace ‘technologists and their geeky ways’” once again ignites vigorous debate.

We need more process centric methods in enterprise social computing to make way for the acceptance of more opportunistic tools such as social networks. The above paper is related to another article, Beyond predictable workflows: Enhancing productivity in artful business processes , which also explains the two ends of the specturum, using email for collaborative activities is clunky and not contextual, and using a centralised workflow system is to rigid and is not flexible to encompass the intricate flavours of all situations, there is calling to allow room for “artful processes”

And in the past I’ve posted about using a combination of blogs, forums and wikis to coordinate a process . tools like lego to create a type of workflow that coordinates a process. So far I have assembled blogs and wikis into a DIY workflow to coordinate a process, but they are not explicitly connected.

The defense is in a room full of old portraits, professors wear togas and technology (photo, video, etc) is allowed without

This example demonstrates how value network modeling can bring fresh insights into even long established organizational structures and processes. Previously they had modeled this work as a business process but “exceptions” were causing costly delays in responding to trouble tickets. The temptation was to simply map the “official” repair service process. A detailed example of an internal value network for technical repair This blog is adapted from the paper, “Value Creating Networks: Organizational Issues and Challenges,” being published in November by Emerald in The Learning Organization Special Issue on Social Networks and Social Networking .

Lesson painfully learned: you can *only* do this stuff successfully by involving technical people fully in the creative process. don’t think I’d like to work quite that fast again but it shows what you can do with a tiny team of specialists following a process they totally own with a very clear idea of what they were trying to achieve (and permission to fly under the radar). We think this provides a fascinating opportunity to apply Agile software development This post has been brewing inside of me for some time. It’s has finally been burped-up precipitated by Ben

Rather than simply showing you the great work that one of our Senior Designers, Julia, has created, I thought it might be useful to show the process behind the project… The process of breaking down the site, freely annotating and then rearranging and grouping components together is invaluable. As is often the case with the design process, as the screens become more real so does the understanding We’ve been working with LOVEFiLM for some time now. They’re a very exciting client whose business model is built around the internet.
