Ian Glendinning posted a discussionBritish Academy - Conflict Resolution Event
MPF people in the UK may be interested in this British Academy event on Conflict Resolution. (The focus national & international political conflict, rather than general management and governance, but nevertheless interesting ?)http://www.britac.ac.uk/events/Conflict_Resolution_and_Reconciliation.cfmSee More
Ian Glendinning commented on Ian Glendinning's blog post An Introduction to MPF"For example why is there not simply a link on the "Main" page to the MPF Foundation introductory page, or the MPF Wikipedia page ?

What this web site needs is an introduction to MPF and her work as a fixed link page, linked prominently on the home page. "New to MPF ?

Ian Glendinning replied to Matthew Shapiro's discussion To organize a new Follett Conversation (Conference)?"This is weird ... I see no notification of this latest post in my email ... Ah ... new answer to an old post which I was not "following" ... we'll get there.
Anyway ... yes Fall 2011 seems like a good target, and I would…"
Ian Glendinning replied to Ian Glendinning's discussion Discussion Notifications ?"I'm a Chrome user rather than Firefox Rosa, but I would guess that subscribe option applies, only works, when pages actually have feeds (ie they publish RSS versions).

Rosa Zubizarreta replied to Ian Glendinning's discussion Discussion Notifications ?"Well, I never did find the "follow" button, but I did find on Firefox, under "bookmarks" an option called "subscribe to this page", using something called "live feeds". Not sure whether that will generate an…"
Rosa Zubizarreta replied to Ian Glendinning's discussion Discussion Notifications ?"Hi Ian...
I have the same concern... but I have not found your "follow" button....
so far, I only receive updates on a discussion to which I have already contributed... but as far as i can see there is no way to be notified of…"
Ian Glendinning replied to Albie M. Davis's discussion Follett on Unity (From 1933 lecture)"For me there is little doubt that MPF had a fundamental process view of the world. Things happening, noun-verbs / active-nouns. This is consistent with her view of integration "of" things, rather than compromise "between" things.…"
Ian Glendinning posted a discussionDiscussion Notifications ?
I notice there have been several new discussion threads started in 2010 including several in July. I have every notification checked in my settings page, but I only seem to receive mails from MPF-Ning when Matthew (or other) sends a private message.Am I missing something ?Doh! - Got it. I see there is a separate "follow" button on the forum page which is independent of the notification settings - I think they call that a "feature"See More
Ian Glendinning replied to Matthew Shapiro's discussion Ning network switching to a fee-based system"Hi Matthew, send a reply to the private message .... happy to repeat the gist here.
Basically, yes I would support paying a share of the fee (rather than re-build elsewhere) and I believe there would be enough of us prepared to do that to cover the…"
Ian Glendinning replied to Matthew Shapiro's discussion Welcome"Hi John / Jack ? Interesting to see Fuzzy Logic and Lacan crop up here in connection with MPF.
Can't comment on who "invented" fuzzy logic, but I founbd Bart Kosko useful some years ago, and just recently have been intrigued by Lacan…"
Ian Glendinning replied to Matthew Shapiro's discussion Question about Follett quote - can anyone help?"That quote from "Freedom and Coordination" is the closest I can find.
It inlcudes all these phrases
"There are three ways of settling differences: by domination, by compromise, or by integration. [...]
In dominating, only one way…"
Ian Glendinning replied to Matthew Shapiro's discussion Question about Follett quote - can anyone help?"Pretty certain I picked-up thes sense of that quote from Pauline Graham's book. I've informally quoted a paraphrase / equivalent of that from that source. I'm sure Pauline will know anyway.
I see Albie has given other near-equivalent…"
Profile Information
- What brings you to Follett?
- In a nutshell. 30 years Engineer & Manager. MBA 20 years ago. Organizational behaviour and culture. Hypocrisy in decision-making rationality. Excluded middles. Value in difference in dynamic relations. In a word - Wisdom.
MPF specifically, quite recently (2006) through Peter Drucker, Charles Handy & Tom Peters, and reading Pauline Graham's book. I suspect MPF was a giant, but “you have to believe in giants before you can stand on their shoulders”.
Urgency - as communication becomes ever more ubiquitous, poor understanding of "rational" decision-making in action is counter productive on a grand scale - global sustainability, etc.
This blog post introduces my interest in MPF.

Pauline Graham said… - Hello, Ian - nice to re-connect. You say that 'perennially relevant' is a good quality in a philosophy. Would you not add that Follett's had it?
Regards
