The way we think about the future of APIs can take many different forms. In this episode, Marsh Gardiner and Kristof Van Tomme approach the subject from several angles.

We talk with Jabe Bloom about how building software in enterprise is a philosophical argument and how knowing some philosophy can help. What is a pharmakon, and what is the Goldilocks space of complexity. Technical debt as an example of how deterministic systems can have agency within a socio-technical system. The origin story of Jabe's model of the three economies and how it helps budgeting complexity and how it is a key to building successful platforms. Jabe currently works as a Senior Director in the Global Transformation Office at RedHat. Jabe has been transforming and researching the organizational dynamics and interactions of management, design, development, and operational excellence for over twenty years as an executive, academic and consultant.

We continue with our conversation with Jabe Bloom. In this second episode we talk about how organizational design is still stuck in organizational engineering, how to get beyond that, and how we have to rethink our understanding of roles. Jabe explains Alicia Juarrero's term or neurological recursion using high-school cliques, how do complex systems stabilize towards hetearchies of mediated interactions between co-existing hierarchies within the organization, and finally how this all informs creating APIs that enable the emergence of higher level constructs.

This was a much anticipated conversation and it did not disappoint. It is filled with many insights that should support those who are making meaning and creating value together in their organizations. Be pleasantly surprised with the amount of beautiful metaphors that were used during this conversation to help describe what makes organizations and the performance of organizing special. We delved into the ideas of how dancing, playing music and weaving can help us find new perspectives, which will enable us to re-focus our attention on the essence of good collaboration and lead to the creation of resilient complex organizations. The theme of the interconnectedness of our social practices, teams and systems was amplified in this episode and points to the need for a wholistic approach to investing energy, time and funds across the entire organization. "The performance is what happens in between the notes." This is one of the gems that came out of this conversation and describes the essentiality of the emotional, embodied and authentic aspects of performance. *As Provocation:* What is *"Scrumality"*? What is the essence of agile organizing? We think it is, that what happens in between the rules. The question is can we name those things and how do we practice them? There is a general excitement at DOTM about the work that Jabe is currently doing, including the important ideas of "Commoning", which was a topice that was only shortly addressed in this episode. We encourage you to continuing exploring his work. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we have.

Today’s guest is Jabe Bloom, in conversation with Simone and Emanuele Quintarelli, Boundaryless’ EEEO Micro Enterprise Lead.    With Jabe, we look into how, increasingly in an age of technologically powered organizations, thriving means the ability to enable “the three economies” of differentiation, scale and scope at the same time. The key question is: what’s the role of platforms and ecosystems in this shift?    During the chat we explore topics such as managing organizational commons, ensuring continuity between the organization and its ecosystem, decentralizing information, sympoietic versus autopoietic systems, maneuver warfare theory, cosmopolitan localism, the role of social practice and methodologies in institutional innovation and so much more. We focus on the interplay between these trends and organizational development.   Jabe Bloom is part of Red Hat’s Global Transformation Office, where he services as a senior director. He has been working to explore the complex interactions between design, innovation, development, and operational excellence in organizations for more than 20 years. Jabe is currently writing his dissertation in pursuit of a Ph.D. in Design Studies at Carnegie Mellon University (PA) – his research focuses on the field of Transition Design and informs an ongoing exploration of the practice of design and strategy with a select group of international clients.    Tune in to this informative conversation as we learn more about Jabe’s research, and his theories on organisational design and platform thinking.    Remember that you can always find transcripts and key highlights of the episode on our Medium publication: https://platformdesigntoolkit.com/Podcast-S2E16-Jabe-Bloom      To find out more about Jabe’s work:   > Website: http://blog.jabebloom.com/  > Twitter: https://twitter.com/cyetain   > Red Hat: https://www.redhat.com/en    Other references and mentions:   > Herbert Simon:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_A._Simon  > Paul Lawrence and Jay Lorsch, Organization and Environment: Managing Differentiation and Integration, 1968: https://www.amazon.com/Organization-Environment-Managing-Differentiation-Integration/dp/0875841295   > Bruno Latour: http://www.bruno-latour.fr/index-2.html > Elinor Ostrom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elinor_Ostrom  Find out more about the show and the research at Boundaryless at www.platformdesigntoolkit.com/podcast   Thanks for the ad-hoc music to Liosound / Walter Mobilio.

Part II   This is part two of the conversation I had with Jabe Bloom and Marc Burgauer during the Devops Conference 2018 in Munich. All information can be found in the show notes of part 1, which is Episode 21 of this podcast. Here some short show notes on this second part. Show Notes On Bid Data & being Data Driven "Russell Ackoff wrote a brilliant paper titled "On Data Mismanagement Systems and the basic thesis is: Managers need data to make decisions and the more data they have, the better it is. Of course, the answer is: Managers don't need more information, they need the right information" "Of course, big data is a response to a particular problem and the particular problem is "Oh god, we made such big piles of data that no human can actually process it anymore. And now we have to come up with an algorithm to summarise the data for us." On Change & Culture "By definition all future things are stories. They don't exist. That's why they're in the future. You can't measure them. You can't use data to understand them. You can only use data to understand what exists now." "People think that you have to change people's thinking first. You change what they think about things and then they change their behavior and that will change the output. And that's absolutely wrong. You have to change what they're looking at and that will change their thinking. And when you want to change something, that's when you need to create those models and give people new things to look at."   Is speed still an advantage? "Right now everyone goes rushing towards high cycle time, high frequency: spin as fast as you can. If everyone is playing to the same time cycles, there is no advantage to doing that. … In fact, the advantage will be having the discipline … of having long term vision and connecting them to the capabilities of having a short cycle time. That's the next competitive advantage. We need people to be able to understand how to make commitments beyond two weeks. Period." "We need to create space for commitments. If everything is an option you have no commitments. If you had no commitments, you have no identity." Autonomy vs. Agency "I hate the word autonomy. … I think autonomy is individuating. … The way I hear the word and I think other people hear it - and I might be wrong and other people hear it differently - but the way I hear it is "I have the right to make my own decisions. I have the right to make my own rules." "If you look up the etymology of the word it means "the owner of the rules". (Whereas) Agency is my ability to chose in that environment and to see the result of it. Autonomy as the ability to act without responsibility is my concern. The ability to act without considering the feedback loop of what s the effect of what I have done. Thanks for listening! Remember to give us feedback on twitter, mail, wherever you want!

Jabe Bloom and Marc Burgauer - Designing Systems Last week, beginning of December 2018, I happened to be guest of the DevOps Conference in Munich. The nice people from the organising company gave me the chance to actually make it a family meeting with my pals J Paul Reed (a giant in the field of DevOps), Marc Burgauer (from Scotland, doing Agile consulting in Banking) and Jabe Bloom (co-founder and chief scientist of Praxisflow). It was 3 really busy days, the bunch of us were continuously mingling in giving talks, workshops, being active in a panel and all kinds of fun. Finally on the last day, we all gave a huge workshop together, using all kinds of techniques and tools from all of our fields and it felt like really great collaboration - throwing together all our expertise from all the fields we've been busy in and merging the approaches. Collaboration without vanity and really sharing. It rarely feels this good!!! On the evening before the workshop, Marc, Jabe and me sat down in my hotel room and recorded roughly two hours of ramblings on designing systems. When Jabe is with you, it's always on the highest level and really abstract design theory. But Jabe has this tough in which he can really go sky high, risking to be Icarus. But just before his abstract knowledge makes gets him too close to the sun, he defends to us other mortal souls and he connects back to earth and leaves us all with a "ahhhh, I see what you mean!!!" The background is that Jabe is currently working on his PhD in Design at the Carnegie Mellon University and as such he is a monster in reading about all of the most abstract literature in design theory - specialising in change in human systems in extreme time spans (like hundreds of years). Of course, there are huge connections between these theories and what we are doing.  Having Marc in this round is a totally different perspective yet and I love how the three of us managed to blast through all kinds of topics. Honestly, this one is one for the lodert and possibly for a niche. But I guess the niche will love it. I'll make it short this time and leave it with the character of the recording: Raw, uncut and a little meandering but always true to the topic and lots of lots of depth. I love this and it feels authentic to how my life and job is. Thanks guys in being my guests and inspiration in this episode. This is part 1 of 2 parts. The next part will make up the next episode and will follow in a week or so. This just had to be out there. Some notes and hints How different timeframes and different temporality change our thinking and how we have to take care about this. We mention Bungay, User Stories, Epics, Strategy … The focus of Agile is compression of timeframes. It can be a problem once we loose the language for longer timeframes. „Employee goes „I can’t think of a way to come up with a chain of two week events that would add up to your one year story. I can’t do it. It doesn’t make any sense.“ The role of middle management in story telling and expertise. A Peter Principle of temporality, explaining micro management. OKRs and stories Humanist culture is about "What am I doing?“ not „How do I measure what I am doing?“ but "What am I doing?“‚ Determinism vs. "The Quality within", love vs. Process The more efficient you get, the more exploration you can do. Science doe not have time as a component. The scientific method is always in retrospective. It always thinks about the past and it never thinks about the future. The predictions it does on the future are based on a determined future. There is no **Open** in science. The thing about the Jony Yveish people out there is that they are able to imagine things that don't exist and can't be measured. You can't use determinism to get there. You can't use quantification to get there. You can only use story telling and narrative. How can Roger Martin's Knowledge funnel be used in a way that it brings mystery? It needs to be used non-linearly. You throw a thing in the middle, it pops up to the top and a mystery is born. That'd be a different way to innovate rather than simply finding "valuable problems" to solve. Doing Hackathons more right and more wrong. Apollo 13 mission story: Time constraints, a known set of components and *isolation* (so the team has to be put away from everybody) "If we had this, then we could make that!" Three temporalities to making sense: - How do I make sense of what's going on? - Retrospective coherence:How can I later explain why I did this in the future. (constraining) - Prospective coherence. If I put this thing that doesn't exist into the world, how does it change the stories that I'm in? Books John Doerr: Measure What Matters Christina Wodtke: Radical Focus I guess this is really abstract stuff. I just love it and I assure that if you are a regular listener, there is a lot in it for you!

Dave Gray - Liminal Thinking To be honest, doing this podcast is the treat of all treats I am giving away to myself. Already in the small, tiny history of this podcast – this has been an opportunity for me to connect and re-connect to all these people who’s ideas and work are so important to me, mean a lot to me and really changed the way I think and work. And now, for this episode, I’ll talk to Dave, Dave Gray. And there’s a funny story that connects me with Dave and I mean that literally. Years ago, I already read - and applied - Dave’s earliest book Gamestorming. And to an even wider degree I sucked in his book „The Connected Company“ - which I think is one of the most brilliant descriptions of the change that companies will have to face when they want to keep up in the … I don’t know how to call it … maybe, digital era. But really, while I loved these books, I did not know at all who Dave is. One day, though, Jabe Bloom, now working with Praxis Flow, introduced me to Dave and suggested we’d have to talk. At the time, Dave was interviewing people for his new book. And so we met on Skype and talked. At the end, I asked Dave what the book will be all about and Dave said, he wouldn’t yet know. And then, roughly mid last year, his new book came out and it stunned me: The book is called “Liminal Thinking”. And from my perspective it is the distilled and abstracted learning of all these interviews that Dave took. Rather than explaining how people and companies have to change, what this book explains is how each one of us has to change and work on himself to have an impact on our environments. At least if we want to be happy at work, keep people happy at work, want to have the right direction of impact or … just want to be happy. While being not the thickest of books, it is a read that I would recommend to take in small steps and really enjoy - and also take all the challenging exercises. Dave is a guy of many facets. At the core, it seems to me, he is driven by finding ways to influence the world of work to be a better place. Since early on he was driven by looking for tools that help people to get a better understanding of what is going o around him. Since being a kid he is working on visualization of context and he treated this as an art form. Along the way, he discovered games as a meaningful form of understanding. In 1993, he founded XPlane, a company that helps companies to understand and, well explane, you guess it, mainly by ways of visualizing. Chapters 00:00:00 Intro 00:03:08 What Is Liminal Thinking Punk & Rap & R&B; Thresholds; Transitions 00:08:28 Changing yourself to impact your environment rather than changing others The dog story - The way you look at the situation influences the outcome; „We underestimate how much our beliefs about another individual tend to create the behavior we expect“ 00:19:23 How Dave’s latest book „Liminal Thinking“ was conceived and written It started as a missing book on Agile and become something different. The process of extending and abstracting the message (by extending the research) 00:30.13 The structure of „Liminal Thinking“ and why it works 00:34:32 How things that are good for you don’t always feel good on the example of „Liminal Thinking“ being on the brink of nearly not being written at one time and the catharsis of re-re-revising the book again and again. 00:41:13 How Dave Gray discovered and developed the art form of visualization and how that helps him and even drives and carries his own company. “What we can draw is always ahead of what we can make. We have to be able to draw it before we can make it. Not everything that can be drawn can be created or done. But: If it can’t be drawn it can definitely not be done.“ „To me that (visualization) is my art.“ „The polite way to say NO is „sorry, I don’t understand that“ 0:48:30 How visualization can help communication and overcome the effects of the telephone game in companies and thus align companies over strategy and other concepts. The journey to visualize is even more important than the effect of having the visualization. Visualization helps communicate and come up with the right questions.

Jabe Bloom gets "meta" with Agile Amped discussing his Agile2016 session "Service Design in the Enterprise". Jabe's talk explores three big ideas: service practice, Wardley (value stream) maps, and service blueprints. Service blueprints are similar to value streams or customer journeys in that they plot out consumer interactions ("touch points") with the back-end workflow and applications that make it happen. Service design, then, applies the same ideas used to design consumer experiences inside IT organizations. The consumerization of IT is important because people want to bring their own technologies and apps into their work environments and their workflows. "People want to have that consumer experience at work." That means IT shops have to think more like consumers and consumer-focused companies.

Today’s guest is Jabe Bloom. A few years ago, he walked in to the Carnegie Mellon University library, approached the Design section and picked up a book starting with the letter A. His plan is to keep reading until he gets to Z. His definition of design is “the intentional formation of a purposeful system”. He says science has no intention towards the future, but design does.
