The Real Enterprise 2.0 - The Chaord

I have just returned for working in Alaska with the hub station of a small network of stations - APTN.

They have the key challenge of having one player at the centre. The result is that all are in a stressful competition. Resource levels are low for all and all wish that the others would do more.

My advice has been to think about how they might move to a Chaord where, instead of one station being in the centre, that they have a small unit, like Visa like the PEI BioAllince Inc. to act on behalf of all.

The slide show is my best attempt - I am no graphic designer - to out the problem out in a visual way and to show how a Chaordic alternative might look and work.

My sense is that such a design could work regionally for all states and all stations and that maybe a larger version might act for all of Public Media in the US.

For right now NPR for radio - is sort of in this central spot - serving the system but also a player. This is how I see Charordic alternative.

But this is not confined to public radio or TV - I see this as a universal idea - just as Henry Ford created the ideal organization for the industrial era - so Dee Hock has created the organization for our own time. Just as the Ford model became the norm for all things - so will the Chaord.

This is how to get more for less. This is what I believe Enterprise 2.0 will be.

In the last post in this series I will give you a taste how how Rory is seeing how this could change agriculture. How we might shift from a multitude of atomised serfs, called farmers, whose value has been captured by a handful of distributors.

The opportunities seem limitless - how about a school board organized like this? What might happen then? How about health in a region organized like this? What about government itself?
