Whoa, totally missed the APF #futrchat about Open Space co-hosted by @jenjarratt and @urbanverse, even though it was announced with planetary timezones. Feels good to be missed, too, so thank you.
On the other hand, I brush off missed opportunities with a laconic "who knows what this may be good for" since in my teens I read about the power of positive thinking. So there.
Building on this example of an opportunity, here the

Go back a few years. How were engineering and scientific works of note created back then? Yes, with lots of references and a bibliography. Acknowledging all the sources we built upon to enable the readers to verify for themselves. Supporting progress by allowing society to weed out the implausible and the plagiarized and accept the rest as best current truth. Wikipedia does the same with its notability guideline.
Shared, because this 1-pager offers a workable way to define these in strategic management system context. May there be fewer lame and limp corporate statements like those you could get from the Corporate BS Generator (the image source).
Gaijin Hero shared the equivalent in human appearance (cosplay character).

After working as a reporter for 30 years, I’ve come to understand a few things about public reaction to the truth. People like to say they’re enlightened. They like to say they’ve seen through the major propaganda operations that are launched and are spinning all around us. But when you bulldoze a hole in a part of the Matrix where certain subjects are engraved on stone pillars, and when those subjects are firmly entrenched in the public mind as foundations of Reality, the usual response is silent shock.
Who has not cursed the colleague who mails a hyperlink that wastes your time by dead-end messages like, "access denied", "information object not available"? Even though you know to protect confidential information, why is this so irksome? How can we improve? Two main factors may be at work, one social, that looks hard to fix, one technical that looks maybe...
A few days ago I shared my crude model how we go from words to trust. I strung it along: word, definition, context, grammar, meaning, concept, understanding, salience, insight, trust, reputation. I believe each prior step must be present and perceived by both partners in an interaction before the next step gets good traction.
Being in the people business of establishing technical trust - as I am - is an interesting combination of challenges: engineering, salesmanship, diplomacy, organization and administration, combined with awareness for the needs of future users of what we test and certify, and the needs and expectations of society.
Seeking a competitive edge in this usually means working without a model, or just making one up and test it, see what sticks and build on that. We might see whether we get closer to the goal. That matters. Insight into what's best comes with routine, where do we have that at the edge?

For easier grasp of big ideas, I find it helpful to arrange its keywords along a progressing scale. For example, the DIKW model of innovation, well explained by Richard Gayle.
Monica Anderson is another deep thinker and inspired us by suggesting AI filtering to curate the unrelenting news stream. At least add commentary to say why you share. Prior work of hers seeded my understanding of reductionist and holistic ways of thinking. Today I share following spectrum because I believe it reflects a way of thinking along a progressing scale.

Here's what our @garymarshall thinks of the Wikipedia blackout - nice idea, but it won't work techradar.com/news/internet/…
The black-out of Wikipedia illustrates the Big Yellow Taxi Principle: "You don't know what you got till it's gone" Sing Joni, sing!
