I see our institutions shining with a

brilliance similar to constellations which

astronomers tell us that they are dead

since a long time

Michel Serres

You never change things by fighting the

existing reality. To change something, build

a new model that makes the existing model

obsolete

Rules N° 5

People can manage

themselves if you

let them

The notion of a process –a defined series

of steps in the production of good or the

delivery of services _ subordinates individuals

to their roles in the process

…but now connectedness should always take

precedence over efficiency, especially where

the efficiency comes at the cost of the

customer…

The process should be secondary to the

strategic principles of the firm

Stowe Boyd

The rise of networks, the end of process

The 10 commandments for the

entrepreneur

o Remember it is easier to ask for forgiveness than for

permission

o Come to work each day willing to be fired

o Circumvent any orders aimed at stopping your dream

o Do any job needed to make your project work, regardless

of your job description

o Find people to help you

o Follow your intuition about the people you choose, and

work only with the best

o Work underground as long as you can, - publicity triggers

the corporate immune mechanism

o Never bet on a race unless you are running in it

o Be true to your goals, but be realistic about the ways to

achieve them

o Honour your sponsors

The Digital Workplace Manifesto

• Work is no longer a place.

• Manage the outcome, not the process.

• The digital workplace should be a pleasure to

use.

• Let me be myself online.

• Learning is good for me and the company.

• Not everyone is an early-adopter.

• Work doesn’t stop at the firewall.

• Everything should be geared to helping me do the

work that matters.

• Working relationships involve understanding

each other.

• Collaboration only works if we do it the same

way.

• If I don’t like it, I can always leave thanks to Sam Marshall

To think To behave

To act

out of the box

“The only way to meet the

continuously unpredictable

challenges ahead of us is to

match them with continuously

unpredictable changes of our

own
