The real digital transformation is not what you think
A truly enlightening #podcast episode with @leebryant 🎧

New organizational operating systems help overcome inefficient vertical hierarchies and augment human work. When digital technologies are used to rethink organizations entirely – instead of simply automating old business processes – our enterprises and their people win, digital acceleration consulta
Let's get back to talking about #remotework !
The most important things that support happy, healthy, productive remote work are things the EMPLOYER must do, not the employee
If remote work is failing you, there's a good chance it's something your employer is either not doing or doing wrong. Not everything is in your control!
I'm really not worried about Mastodon scaling issues at all.
When I left Twitter in 2008, we had roughly twice as many users as the current combined Mastodon network, all running on one MySQL server that had the same specs as a high-end 2013 MacBook Pro, plus roughly 10 web servers and 5 queue servers.
To be fair, growth wasn't as rapid, and we had local-infra advantages over federated systems, but these problems are solvable and I have no doubt will be fixed soon.
*Hugops to all admins!*
It's actually pretty amazing that a open source product developed by a tiny non-profit, running on a network of servers self-funded by volunteer administrator and moderators has managed to absorb some portion of one of the world's largest for-profit social networks.
It's a miracle the whole thing didn't collapse or catch fire.
Great job everyone.
... and until I find my feet on Mastodon, a rare personal post I was too chicken to share on Twitter: a travelogue of a recent road trip with my love:
Will I use Mastodon much? Depends how it develops, I guess, but I am up for smaller scale networking without the influencers and the monetization for sure, and so I hope it finds a place in the world. Let's see. But for now: hello world 👋 🙌 ❤️

As a a man, I have not suffered much abuse on the hellsite, so my experience is not typical. Even my one viral thread (tweeted in anger during the UK Brexit collapse) was not so bad: https://twitter.com/leebryant/status/1063482269392867328
(I should add we got out of dodge soon after & now carry the guilty secret that Brexit ultimately changed our lives for the better. Sad feels for the UK, but I'm sure its creative urban populace will build something interesting after they have eaten the last morally vacuous Tory ;-)

“Sometimes I unplug my brainstem from the non-stop crisis liveblog that has become our life in the UK and become briefly conscious of how the media, especially the BBC, has failed us on Brexit in a way that reminds me just a little bit of the collapse of Yugoslavia. (1/20)”
Let's be honest, Twitter was pretty awful pre-Musk. I mostly used it as a real-time Ukraine war news service.
I'm an IR nerd / hopeless infovore, plus I had a previous life as part of Bosnia's anti-fascist struggle in the 1990's, so Twitter has been an amazing resource for tracking & mapping the fight-back in detail. So many #Ukraine - #Bosnia parallels - like watching a replay where instead of an arms embargo + pressure to capitulate to genocide, we got HIMARS instead (Слава Україні !)

I do executive education with international firms, transformation projects and advisory work, and I am also building tools that I hope will help teams take more control of their own organisational operating systems (#OrgOS as tech, ways of working, capabilities, connected structures and cultures, etc).
