Dear Joseph and FIS colleagues,
Thanks for the friendly message. Let me introduce you all the organizing team
of the Open University conference: Magnus Ramage, David Chapman, and Chris
Bissell --they did a great job there and we are fortunate that they have joined
our list too. As I invited them during the conference, they could chair our
next discussion session, in a few weeks or days if they wish. A short text of
around 500 or 800 words with some focus in themes discussed at Milton Keynes
would suffice to kick off the discussion. As other people have recently joined
the list, all of them should remind our strict limitation of a maximum of two
messages per week. This is a list emphasizing "slow thinking" and scholarship.
By the way, my management experience during all these months has lead me to
think and start work on a new theme: the information flow in complex
organizations. The properties or limits of natural communication (conversation)
in our social groups determine the structural patterns of complex bureaucratic
organizations... terrible committees included! Next weeks I will post more on
that.
best wishes
--Pedro
