I’m just cleaning out my desk, as I’m leaving my job, and I found some notes that I wrote around this time last year. Here is an excerpt:
Process versus Product
Examples:
Loft as product
- Get this type of place, do these types of programs in this way
Loft as process
- Get the right people, give them the right situation and direction, and let them do their thing.
Product is static and specific.
Process is dynamic and adaptable.
Product - what - imitation
Process - how - following
Process - enable Massively Parallel Development
- Generate reusable components and resources
- Allow resource modification and recontribution
- Enable multidirectional communication
- Encourage information sharing
- Maintain common “codebase”
Enable Infinite Scalability
- Empower the individual - distribute power
- Decentralize responsibility (avoid bottlenecks)
- Create resource along with requirement (0 net cost)
