Business AND RAPID CHANGEWe now have to accept the counterintuitive !
An understanding of technology is unnecessary
A good manager can manage any business You can buy all the expertise you need
The bottom line is all that matters Customers know what they want
The is always a simple solution +++
Social Nets are a waste of time Spread sheets are sufficient
Computer games are toys Models are unnecessary
Managers know best Twitter is trivial
+++
Many established business wisdoms are wrong:
role reversalThe young are full of tech wisdom and now teach the old !
R&D ⇒ Defence ⇒ Consumer Defence ⇐ Consumer ⇐ R&D
School ⬇ College ⬇ University ⬇ Computing
Computing ⬇ School ⬇ College ⬇ University ⬇ “Specialised”
The world is no longer simpleIt is connected complex and non-linear !
- Social Networking leads to Social Selling - One complaint becomes a global tweet - Knowledge has a shortening half life - Information cannot be contained - Chaos is now the norm
complexityWhat does it mean ?
‘Not simple or obvious’
Resists analysis Resists modelling Denies simplification Unexpected outcomes Unintended consequences No generalised classifications No generalised mathematical theory
No generalised description Mostly counter intuitive
Generally confounding Conditionally difficult No, or, weak axioms
Non commutative
non-linearWhat does it mean ?
Outcome not related to input by scale and may see a different outcome every time even when starting conditions/inputs are the same !How come??- Minuscule/imperceptible differences in start conditions- Minuscule/imperceptible differences in the system state
Small input changes can have a massive impact on the output
non-linearConditionally Stable !
Take your hands and feet off the controls and it will continue
to be stable and fly !
non-linearConditionally Unstable !
Take your hands and feet off the controls and it is immediately out of control and will crash!
non-linearThe likelihood of a Flat Spin (instability)
increases with efficiency !
Natural & man madeComplexity, Non-Linearity, Chaos are the natural order !
everyone is connectedAnd soon so will everything!
A connected worldWhat does this mean ??
The day of the independent variable is over The day of disconnected decisions and effect/s has gone Today unintended consequences rule…and there is no escape Managing without models and sufficient data is very dangerous
Change is no longer slowIt is fast and speeding up !
Seemingly insignificant technologies can change
everything
Change is not a constantIt is exponential !
Over 1000 tweets/second Over 1Bn/month use FaceBook Over 50Bn Google searches/month Top 10 jobs of 2010 did not exist in 2004 25% have been in their current job for <1 year 50% have been in their current job for <5 years School student will have had > 15 jobs by age 35 !
ExponentialWhat does it mean ??
More data/information will be generated this year than in the previous 5000 !…and the year after that …and the year after, after that …and the year after, after, after…
ExponentialWhy it is a big deal !!
Telephone Network Growth ∝ N2
!
Internet Network Growth ∝ 2N
!
Cloud Network Growth ∝ N1/2
Increase nodes 10 fold = Energy Increase
x 100
x 1000
x 3.6
THe Cloud(s)Plural not singular because the internet won’t scale!

Machines experience no such limitations !
Why do we employ People ?Because they are cheaper than robots !
MATERIALS & processingOrganic + inorganic , printed,
programmed, autonomous
No casting, Pressing, machining> 300 parts are now printed
Complex components (eg gearboxes & manifolds) produced in one pass without assembly using less material whilst returning a superior performance

Unacceptable Ineffective and unuseful IT Dept’s
Can they cope with the sophistication of the new threat scenarios ?
Do they have the same ability and resources as Cisco, IBM, Google, Apple et al working together...

new workforceTech savvy, fully equipped, no respect for IT Depts!
The see social networking is a vital a tool......as their choice of equipment, apps, web sites and ways of working...
...they don’t eMail, they TXT and IM !
...they don’t conceal or hide they share !
new workforceNo loyalty or allegiances , dr iven by pure interest !
T h e y s e e I T a s ‘personal’ and not ‘corporate’ - !
Thinking, working & acting differently...
…creating new fast , innovat ive solutions, groups, and operations...
new workforceWorking on the fly using what they choose!
ManagementRapid change is now the biggest challenge
Management attitudes, working and operational practices, will have to change if companies are
to keep up and compete on the world stage ...
CompaniesThe death of hierarchy !
unchanging
Old organisational
structures work for
situations where
all is known and
In situations of rapid change where flexibility is the hallmark of success, then organisational hierarchies are generally a disaster
Companies The Rise of Autonomy !
Small, specialised, and skil led teams highly focused on
creativity problem solving, getting results fast, to
then reshape and reform to meet the next set of
demands

• Power sockets only • Cloud provision • App freedom • ISP freedom • Open access • Open Apps • Transients • Associates • Part timers • Contractors • Multi Continent • +++ !
THE BIG CHAllengeSOver the next 10 years +
• Fewer Full Time and FTE • Shorter FT dwell times • Shorter project times • Changing processes • New technologies • More competition • More contractors • More transients • More machines • Faster change
What we know for sure....In the next phase the winning companies and countries
will have taken risks, and dared to be different...
...very different...
