- vernaallee: RT @MichaelEPorter: “What Is Value in Health Care?” In The New England Journal of Medicine http://bit.ly/dUrNc1 <defines ‘value’ as “health outcomes for every dollar spent” – which drags us back to the dead-end of monetary metrics again… bah!!! 🙁

A brief discussion on ‘workaround cultures’:
- vernaallee: Value network modeling addresses this issue RT @entwistletx “work arounds” costly, impair organizational effectiveness http://ow.ly/3vPuP <“In healthcare the Pareto (80/20) principle does not apply” – cumulative impacts mean that we need to address all issues, not solely the ‘low-hanging fruit’
- MikeGotta: @vernaallee process = way work should be done; practice = how work is done. Not all processes are 100% inelastic, some allow variability // Workarounds could just as easily be the key to process improvement, you can create your own arguments either way
- entwistletx: @vernaallee @mikegotta Plea for greater flexibility makes sense given that local governance issues can vary.
- vernaallee: @MikeGotta – LOL We are in violent agreement. Workarounds need to be made visible to address whether formal interactions need improvement.
- MikeGotta: @vernaallee ah, very true, visibility, discoverability, transparency etc all help deal with good/bad workarounds
Narrative knowledge, knowledge-management, creativity, leadership and in-person collaboration:
- bonifer: RT @Cnvrgnc: It’s not about the “next” big idea, its about reframing the conversation in new language so breakthrough thinking can actually happen.
- SAlhir: RT @Leadershipfreak “The Why of Work” – 3 components of meaning = emotional bonds, a sense of purpose, and using our skills to serve others.
- vernaallee: The true shape and nature of collaboration is not a social network but a value network – a purposeful network focused on value and outcomes.
- orgnet: @vernaallee “social” and “value” are hard to separate in many networks, especially professional and entrepreneurial… IMHO

- vernaallee: RT @jhagel: Are we hard-wired for hierarchy? Bad news for the kumbaya crowd . . . http://bit.ly/gRp8JZ <completely unfounded conclusion from research (circular reasoning, in fact): MRI shows current configuration/activation of a highly plastic system after nurture/development – possible propensity in a plastic system in a social context is not same as ‘hard-wired for hierarchy’!
- bonifer: RT @greggvm: Updated Story and Narrative for 12/29 via @scoopit http://bit.ly/hAtHOZ #storytelling <v.useful resource of links etc on storytelling in various forms on all types of media
