description

#aiim13 conference presentation. 21st March 2013; New Orleans. People have turned to nature to solve engineering problems for centuries. Dragonflies have inspired helicopters, bamboo has led to lighter trunks and more durable hollow building blocks, the thistle burdock inspired Velcro™. The natural world can spark fresh ideas in information governance, too, and maybe give you an appreciation for gardening. Learning objectives: 1. New ideas in formation governance are possible through new ways of thinking; 2. Five different ideas to apply to governance and 3. Learn about gardening, landscaping and botany.

Turn to nature for clues

Velcro™ was not invented by NASA

It was accidentally discovered in 1941 by Georges de Mestral

He was hunting with his dog in Swiss Alps

Ideas, analogies and principles

Align strategy, content and governance Disconnect in classification: IA vs. Governance Analogies: thinking -> behavior Power of principles The principles of objects and growth The principle of content in context The end of history illusion The danger of principles

Align Strategy, Content and Governance

Sky = Strategy, Vision

Ground = Governance

Plants = Tools and content

The Power of Principles

Wabi-sabi1.1st branch right2.2nd left3.3rd right etc.4.Only one branch at time5.Asymmetry: nothing straight front6.No branch crosses trunk or other branches

The Principles of Objects and Growth

1. The principle of objects – Treat content as a living, breathing thing, with a lifecycle, behaviors and attributes.

2. The principle of choices 3. The principle of disclosure4. The principle of exemplars5. The principle of front doors6. The principle of multiple classification7. The principle of focused navigation

8. The principle of growth – Assume the content you have today is a small fraction of the content you will have tomorrow.

The Danger of Principles

1. Learn all poisonous mushrooms2. Pick only mushrooms you know

“Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.”Groucho Marx
