Given that your company is serious about people being the core assets and wants their engagement in your vision and goals, sociotechnical system design is the way to go. As a bonus, you'll also get better productivity, quality, and sustainable cost reductions.

This is a fantastic talk by Kent Beck. And so important. What he is saying here, using his perspective from Extreme Programming (XP), basically sums up all my talks from the last few years. His distinction between deserts and forests is the same as bureaucracy and sociotechnical/democratic systems, respectively, and the parallel universes are the unmixable world views that people carry around. No data or good arguments can make people switch from one to the other. It's futile to try, IMHO. Only by being aware of what they are and how different they make you see the world can a conscious choice be made to move from one to the other.

You can't extrapolate from a closed system to an open one, but you can reduce an open system to a closed one. Or, put it in Beck's terms, you cannot grasp a forest when all you know is the desert, but you can imagine how a forest can become a desert. 😉

Given that work also produces people, in addition to products and services, how can we make sure that we create a work environment that makes the world a better place?

Work Produce People: The Far-reaching Effects of Organisational Design
We spend a large chunk of our time at work, some more than others, and we all do it for different reasons. For some, it's mainly about making money to cover expenses and maybe having something extra left over to enjoy life in their spare time, while for others, it’s a central part of their lives and

In summary – I believe you should be publishing something to the web, maybe an esoteric spreadsheet, perhaps an open source javascript library, a deep dive into semantic analysis of your favorite author? Who knows? Publish, but keep it weird and humble.

It’s probably confirmation bias, but I definitely agree with this sentiment. The internet enables an endless array of things. For me it’s mostly about me being enabled to share what I’m creating. Weird? Definitely. Humble? …uh, okay okay still working on that.

EnablaProf. Karol Zyczkowski from the Jagiellonian University presents a detailed lecture on quantum chaos in open systems in Nordita. The talk examines the differences between continuous and discrete time evolution in open quantum systems, the purification and coherification of quantum channels, and the transition between quantum and classical regimes.
📘 Watch the #OpenAccess lecture and join the discussion online on Enabla: https://enabla.com/pub/742/about
This is an opportunity to explore key concepts in #QuantumPhysics, #OpenSystems, and #QuantumChannels.
