LIFT 07 – banks are handicapped by perceptions
I’m still reflecting on Lee’s (Headshift.com) presentation yesterday.

Wasting brainpower in large orgs – turning people into idiots

He captured how large organisations manage work in a way that contradicts how people think. This makes it hard to absorb new patterns and concepts. A brilliant example of that is Web 2.0, and associated concepts;
- simple
- incremental change
- start small
- focus on core, and build out
& tools;
- blogs
- wikis
- tagging
- feeds
- feed aggregation, clipstreams
- social networks
In aggregate each of the above are powerful, but where to start, and how to explain, is not something that can be accomplished in a single presentation, or conversation.
It requires a new approach, and new thinking that is sustained in the organisation.
Banks don’t have this capability, but the good news, is, I’m sensing the need is becoming more evident.
