Compiled some notes after our call. Did I miss out anything?
Coherence between multiple levels of “resolution” in product development
Mapping out systems / processes in order to understand reality at different resolutions
3D gives a different dimension. You can “zoom in” and “zoom out” of different levels of resolution, a la Google Maps
If the dimensions are not defined, then it’s not a map, but a diagram
Using blockchain as a common data layer for productivity apps to live on top
Maps can be made independent of the underlying data
One reason for incoherence is how information is stored in a dozen different apps, or in video calls, whiteboards, post-its, etc – not integrated. Copy and paste doesn’t actually “copy”; references between information aren’t preserved.
How do we educate people to think fluently in systems?
Possible reason: People are afraid to be wrong
One possible way: Disarm people through child-like play. It’s okay to be wrong! As long as there are guardrails
Systems thinking / product development as a video game
Bret Victor’s UI is playful and is almost like a video game
Decision making coach / linter
Can help consultants, senior practitioners, but also executives, frame their thinking
