Christmas Greetings - the Trinity / Triune value network
For some, Christmas is a time for renewing relationships and deepening those we allow to flourish.
Christians have some rather special relationships to consider, and we can use value networks to help illuminate these. This blog focuses on the Trinity - a key model we have of God.
Some history: in the 2nd century AD, the first major Christian theologian, Tertullian, a Carthaginian who thought and wrote in Latin, coined the term Trinitas. He had some pretty deep…

UK Prime Minister advocates Social Citizenship in new guise
There has been a mixed reaction to David Cameron's portrayal of the "Big Society." The latest attempt I have heard was from Rt. Hon. Michael Portillo in a wide-ranging and excellent address to the annual networking meeting of the Institute for Work-Based Learning at Middlesex University on 21st October.
In answer to a question, Michael, offered the following interpretation of the Big Society: " a rhetorical device to change public attitudes over…

Demand Creation Network
The turbulent economic environment in the UK calls for “out-of-the-box” thinking linked to action that “engages.” The uncertainty and unpredictability of future events suggests that such action is now urgent.
The good news is that flexibility is now the mantra and organisation leaders have tended to hoard staff…

Playing our part: co-creating "Weal(th)"
Ideas for moving from top-down Government control to encouragement of more participative government at a local level are in the air. For example, the UK Conservative Party Manifesto published yesterday makes this a core theme; getting stuck in as a volunteer and building a nation of people who look out for others and not assuming that politicians have all the answers.… Continue

New breakthrough in renewable energy simplicity
A few months ago I was asked to design some steelwork for a house extension. While on site I saw the builder was having problems with the local water authority and the depths of his foundations were being increased more than usual. I saved him a few cu metres of concrete by sketching the correct minimum for the depth of the foundation so as to avoid influencing the existing drain running parallel. This is what engineers can simply do.

How can value networks support authentic lean management?
The introduction of Lean methods has had mixed success and is properly considered a life long journey for problem solving, innovation and heightening morale. But reality can be very different if only linked to management and production practices such as six sigma and value stream analysis. These are often conducted within a top down, command and control structure with the intention of driving out variation, - and with a focus that is predominantly on incremental creativity in order to lower…
