6. SECI and the concept of Ba Ba Originating = individuals ‘feelings’, experiences and mental models are shared. Typically informal. Interacting = A place to support making concepts explicit and available to others. Formal structure. Cyber = knowledge is made explicit in a form that does not require face to face interaction to share. Exercising = a place where on the job training or learning occurs. tacit knowledge explicit knowledge explicit knowledge tacit knowledge SOCIALISATION Originating Ba EXTERNALISATION Interacting Ba COMBINATION Cyber Ba INTERNALISATION Exercising Ba S E C I
21. appliance design KEY FACTS Accessible – can be used anytime, anywhere – wherever people have access to the corporate intranet (home, office, hotel etc.) Dynamic – on the device you can “grab a room”, view who currently has the room booked or see when the next booking is due. Simple - requires no staff training Situated - provides room identification and meeting information where it is needed, outside the meeting room. Mediates – gives high visibility to critical ever changing information about meetings, schedules and projects. Economical - no central day to day management required and is extendable, units can be added or removed as required. Federated – this appliance is “aware” of other RoomWizards, is OS and hardware platform independent, can be used via the corporate intranet. Statistics - automatically creates statistics on room usage – even when people don’t pre book but “grab it” because it is free.
24. will the workplace exist? The city. A diverse collection of people and activities driven by economic opportunities and social aspirations, access to public pedestrian space, solid infrastructure and cohesive inter-modality, functional and interdependent distribution systems, a vibrant mix of neighborhoods
25. Hierarchical Planning Based on Taylorist view of organisations as vertical and mechanistic. Universal Planning Focuses on efficiency of space. It reduces cost by fitting more people into less space. Activity Based Planning Value added to working practices through focusing on the integration of individual and group tasks and on explicit work practices. It is about the effectiveness of space. Community Based Planning Integrates formal hierarchy and informal networks on one map of the workplace, recognising the tension between the two.
which workplace are you talking about - this very much addresses the office and studio environment of knowledge-based workers. It doesn't cover workers in retail spaces (particularly), factories, universities, farms, call centres etc., all of whom are perhaps greater in number.

knowledge transformation - one of the most powerful social mechanisms for transferring what we know is conversation and discussion. Work is social in nature and is shaped by time and place
a model for knowledge creation
an in the context of space we do this in different environments
high performance teams research – the ability to continually acquire, organise and synthesise a wide variety of information (e.g. the use of A0 and A3 drawings for group / personal use, the use of ‘project gardening’ to maintain visual cues in project spaces etc.) It is estimated that 20% of time is lost at the front end of collaborative projects because of systemic problems in getting work organised (e.g. recapitulating project status, minutes published long after their usefulness has expired etc.)

much of the 20 th century we saw clear hierarchies, with information processing and admin work outsourced to secretaries, oodles of paper, private offices I want to understand the flow of information
21 st century - Distributed collaboration – mobile, collaborative, work-life – anytime, anyplace, anywhere is a myth, we are always somewhere in some context. Presence is a continuum and the challenge is to preserve the power of shared space at different degrees of distance.
SANE EU FP5 ppp both physical and virtual – intranet, extranet, internet
public space – do people go to the building or to the wifi – the new library consumer – could be third space, coffee shop
ideo office space – loads of books and a presentation in it own right – look up jeremy myerson and philip ross for great studies and examples
maple place caf é – but could be an airport lounge, members club, hub space – my experience of cisco telepresence vs skype – the experience economy
so how does techno gadgetry influence these new structures
move to the cloud will have a big impact – both financially and in terms of quality of service
new tools for collaboration – this could have been any extranet or community based tool – but this one is a good one, maybe also because of the 37signal community behind the tool
email2.0 - collaborative work
open innovation – crowd sourced – the key to work 2.0 is to learn from the success stories of web 2.0 – 2.0 is not a version number it is a different style of web based on basic principles of cooperation – tim Oreilly white paper
Over the next ten years will see a fundamental change in the attitude towards the design of techno gadgetry as users revolt against the dictatorship of IT. Shared tools are fundamental to teamwork. Understanding how to use those tools will differentiate teams. Gadget feature lists tell us ‘what a product will do for me’, this needs to be refocused to ‘what can I do with it’. Pen and paper will continue to be one of the greatest appliances for teamwork.

open platform - the notion of the ‘platform’ has BECOME THE UBIQUITOUS ORGANISING CONCEPT, business model and overriding cultural metaphor for our times, from Amazon’s platform for retail to Apple’s for music, from the Obama campaign’s platform for engagement to the numerous so-called ‘web 2.0’ applications which offer platforms for almost anything, from photos and video to broad social and cultural engagement in all its guises. A particular theme within that is of the ‘open platform’, whereby a system is created specifically with appropriation, adaptation and extension in mind.

I think our existing idea of the workplace will exist as long as the city exists.

We have an increasing acreage of virtual space. time spent in game play
wasted space
Space book – one persons dead “work” space is another persons office
80% reduction is a big target – Arup audit 60% elec on ICT / 25% of carbon footprint yesterday some impact on brand and war for talent – energy efficiency gains deliver marginal business cost reduction today – strategic impact on brand and war for talent – impact on asset value – impact on shareholder value
monitoring and feedback – closing the design feedback loop
platforms – for mgt yes, designers yes, but also the workers may find unexpected interventions and appropriations they can make
also at the personal level - to an increasing extent, people are now using digital media to ‘instrument’ their life; to monitor their body mass index or their fitness regime via Nike+; to track their personal music listening such that recommendations can be made; assess their real-time energy usage via smart meters, and generally share their precise location, activities and thoughts via social media. (Witness the front cover of July 2009’s Wired magazine, ‘Living By Numbers’.) This is over and above the increasing practice of institutional ‘monitoring’ of the way, say, cities are performing in real-time.
m2m comms looking for the patterns in the data – the agents working on our behalf
last century a lot of our work was very visible - so when so much of what we do is hidden in the cloud how do we make the invisible visible
foresight works with thought leaders both inside and out the company to help identify trends that will affect the built environment – multi disc team – architect, engineer, art historian, physicist, economist, social scientist + many interns --- I am the geek
