Changed the Fedica settings to crosspost to my [main Bluesky account @bmann.ca](https://bsky.bmann.ca) rather than the [@bmannconsulting.com](https://bsky.app/profile/bmannconsulting.com) account I made. I think I liked the concept of mapping my domain to it's own username (and the [FoodWiki has an account too](https://bsky.app/profile/foodwiki.bmann.ca)), but it really just is "me". The three Mastodon accounts are also a bit much 😅

- [x] Change date formatting for journal pages to include / highlight time posted rather than just day
- [ ] Reconsider slugs for journal. Maybe: `YYYY/MMDD/HHmm`.
- [ ] Main journal page will grow forever. Have to figure out daily or monthly pages. Pagination?
-
- [ ] Look at design from current <https://blog.bmannconsulting.com> for fancy dates

I think you’ll see a lot of PLN in there, and broadly speaking networked organizations. He has other writing on organizational capabilities and different stages of organizational maturity, but I’ll leave it there for now.
-
I’ve suggested that I’d like PLN to learn Wardley Mapping together. I’m actively looking to join a peer group who goes through some paid training on Wardley Mapping, and then helps critique each other’s mapping strategies for the areas their organization is targeting.

## Update February 2024
+
This post ends a little abruptly! There are some further good links and discussion in the original [forum post](https://talk.fission.codes/t/networked-orgs-and-tooling/2402).
+
+
I'm retroactively publishing this as a blog post, with many of the links re-pointed to local note posts that I've imported.
+
+
This very much fits into my [[pooling capital and collaboration]] theme.
+
+
[[co-op]] structures aren't naturally networked orgs, but one of the principles is to work with and support other co-operatives, so co-ops could benefit from thinking of themselves more as part of a network.

January 2022 blog post, updated February 2024 and moved here [[2022-01-15-networked-orgs-and-tooling|Networked Orgs and Tooling]]
+
+
[[Simon Wardley]] very clearly shows [[How Organizations Are Changing]] in a 2021 survey and analysis, with many "networked" organizational styles emerging.
+
+
Open source communities, platform ecosystems, regional collaboration, and the [[Venture Studio]] model are all examples of systems that benefit from thinking about them as networked organizations.
+
+
Tooling and communication needs to reflect the nature of these orgs. They aren't one company or entity, they need a high measure of asynchronous communications, and ownership / permissions need to reflect organizational, working group, and other boundaries, with a variety of access permissions from fully public to network-only to group-only. Formation of groups needs to be fluid across orgs.

But I actually think stock and flow is a useful metaphor for media in the 21st century.
-
-
Here’s what I mean:
-
## Flow
-
-
Flow is the feed. It’s the posts and the tweets. It’s the stream of daily and sub-daily updates that reminds people you exist.
-
## Stock
-
-
Stock is the durable stuff. It’s the content you produce that’s as interesting in two months (or two years) as it is today. It’s what people discover via search. It’s what spreads slowly but surely, building fans over time.

_notes/Wardley Mapping.md

Wardley Maps are a method created by [[Simon Wardley]] to review and develop strategy around business and markets.
+
+
One of the base concepts is that new innovations go from invention / genesis where everything is custom and bespoke through to commodity / utility.
+
+
Genesis -> Custom Built -> Product (Rental / SaaS) -> Commodity (Utility)
+
+
He originally developed this around the evolution of cloud computing.
+
+
The [[Pioneers, Settlers, and Town Planners]] shows the mapping of personality types to stages of evolution / approaches needed for each stage.
