I was reminded of Siegele’s decade-old article when recently learning about another, relatively new, IT innovation, - serverless computing , - a name that connotes the increasingly disembodied nature of computing. Serverless is an approach to software development for quickly building and deploying applications as a collection of loosely coupled modules and microservices. The modules are stateless , meaning that no information is carried over or remembered between invocations.

Disruptive innovations, - like the power looms allegedly smashed by protesting Luddites, - have been displacing human labor for the past two centuries. These periods of creative destruction , - when new technology-based innovations led to painful transitions in once-dominant companies and jobs, - eventually worked themselves out. Over time, these same disruptive innovations rejuvenated the economy, and led to the creation of new industries and jobs.

Blossoms aims to develop a large free repository of video modules created by gifted volunteers from around the world to assist school teachers with math and science courses. Each module builds on prerequisite material that the class has already learned. I have personally seen some of the Blossom modules, such as Taking Walks, Delivering Mail: An Introduction to Graph Theory. Technology and innovation are badly needed, but progress has been painfully slow.

While incentives have their place, its unlikely that financial incentives will stimulate innovation per se.

Last week Julie Coates and I introduced some innovative new ways to help women learn more in school and college. For example, women study more than they need to on a given module, probably 30% more than a male student would spend to learn the same amount of material and get the same score on a test. Challenge female students to spend less time per module, and to tackle more challenging modules.

If you’re working in a highly innovative and creative environment it’s likely your learning and development will be skewed more towards the social and experiential types of development. If you’re supporting effective leaning and development in an environment where agility and innovation are at a premium then you’d better be prepared to support higher levels of collaborative and ‘trial-and-error’ learning – in the ‘70’ and ‘20’ zones.

Equally important, but thus far largely overlooked, is the impact on user-innovation and on the permitted development of media technology. Even if we could wave a magic wand and fully accomodate fair use in DRM, the incompatibility with user-innovation would persist, because it stems from a different and deeper aspect of the DRM system.

In Cynefin terms this is an attempt to shift from the Complex to the Obvious (or in part Complicated) while there are still multiple modulators in play, many connections and the probability of unintended consequences high. Of course the downside of this maybe over conservatism or a lack of innovation. Having written yesterday’s post I started to play around with mapping various approaches to measurement, goal setting and the like onto Cynefin.

This gives considerable flexibility when you are building new modules, or interacting with other applications or capabilities. You don't need a full cycle test across all modules before you deploy others. If the objects test out, if the assembly in that module writes data to the database then its ready to roll.
