The IT Flower - An Intro Video
A few days ago, I posted a draft version of a new white paper: The IT Flower The video above gives a high level introduction.
And, just to make sure Zoli Erdos, I’ll be cranking our a web based version of the paper as soon as I have some free time.
Many thanks to Podsafe audio and artist Ocean Alexander for the sound track.
Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom :-)
Here’s an online version of your White Paper:

Rod,
This is a very cool concept and does a great job at providing a holistic view of how an enterprise performs its work.
I’d be interested to know how you derived the shapes of the different portions of the flower. Are there any statistics that you used to do this?
Hi Jeremy,
I don’t have any stats, but I would love to include them.
The McKinsey that gave me the idea for the “Types of Work” axis has some statistics on the size of the market for knowledge work. They say that 41% of the US economy is knowledge work, or as they put it “tacit interactions”.
What I do not have is a break down of where that work could follow structured processes, or where transactional work could benefit from tools to support ad hoc processes. My sense is that both are very large.
Thanks for the comment

I’d be interested to read the McKinsey paper you mention - do you have a link for that?
Jeremy,
I mention the article in the IT Flower whitepaper. The article is called “The next revolution in interactions”.
