Hack the MIX Hackathon

Even though we all making use of the power of the web, nothing can replace us as ambassadors to grow the community and establish a “Management 2.0” brand out there - your personal engagement is first, technology is second.

And, „Simplicity is Key!“ - so, why are we not looking for the simplest things that could help us to make it easier for us as a community to act as Management 2.0 ambassadors? Furthermore, what things will people need to understand and test Management 2.0?

Here is what I mean: Management 2.0 principles represent formulations of our basic messages. The first question for people coming across those principles is how can I apply those principles in my daily work (relevance)? Second, how can I convince my peers, managers, etc. that applying those principles yields better results (credibility)? Third, how can I demonstrate the feasibility of those principles in real working situations (value)?

The content on the mix web site is extremely overwhelming and time consuming to read so that many interested people will get lost or simply don’t find the time to swallow all that.

My suggestions:

1. I would like to have a “Management 2.0” video like that Gary made for the hackathon (Reinventing the Technology of Human Accomplishment) – this is simply the best presentation I’ve ever seen!
2. Let’s design a simple “Management 2.0” poster with the basic statements and principles that can be provided to colleagues and all others interested in the topic.
3. Let’s collect best practices, deep insights and principles from other disciplines/authors/etc. that helps us to coach, facilitate, and implement Management 2.0 in practice. And there are many, like for example Peter Senge's concepts, Russell Ackoff's f-laws, Eric Beinhocker’s seminal work on a new economic paradigm, Thomas Johnson’s Management by Means approach, or Robert Sapolsky's neuroscientific insights about stress.

Nothing is done that people don’t understand! With practical, easy-to-understand, and useful tools it will be much easier for people new to the subject to enter into the Management 2.0 universe. It could also serve as a structural navigation backbone for finding related stories, m-prizes etc.
