The process of knowledge is also the process of self-organization, that is, the process of life. – Fritjof Capra Yes, it’s yet another model. I must confess that I revert to blogging […]
June 2014 Stockholm I thought I’d make a stab at further explaining the top field in the model I’m currently working on, and perhaps better convey why I believe this to be important. On a very general level, this is my current best attempt towards: a way for finding and framing our most important questions, […]
June 2014 Stockholm, on a couch @ AgileSweden Simplicity is complexity rescued – Constantin Brancusi So I’d like to expand the model I presented last time I wrote. If you review the image you’ll see that I’ve added colored borders surrounding the “fields”. They signify that the fields represent Sociocratic circles. I will get deeper […]
June 2014 Scandic Malmen, Stockholm Mind precedes all mental states – Dhammapada After roughly completing the “why a book” part where I tried to explain on a rudimentary level the why’s and how’s of this project, I now find myself staring rather blankly at a veritable mountain of unwritten words. I feel like how I […]
May 2014 Rio de Janeiro, Pestana Rio Atlantica Belief in truth begin with doubts of all truths in which one has previously believed – Nietzsche What is it that I want you, the reader, to take away from each chapter?

May 2014 Rio de Janeiro, Pestana Rio Atlantica Everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. ― Sylvia Plath How does one go about writing a book? There’s no obvious answer to that question. But for […]
May 2014 Rio de Janeiro, Pestana Rio Atlantica So many of the harsh realities of the adult world are unnecessary and absurd – Tom Robbins Please feel free to skip this part if you don’t give a hoot about who I am. I will not hold it against you. But you know, who I am […]
May 2014 Rio de Janeiro, Pestana Rio Atlantica In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act – George Orwell This is a book about work. Work is game played in a world inhabited by adults who all play the adult game. So in a sense, work is a game […]
May 2014 Rio de Janeiro, Pestana Rio Atlantica I heard from a friend who told me that he distributed snippets from the “Not Even Wrong – The model” post to his colleagues prior to one of their regular status meetings. He also informed me that the conversation that ensued was most rewarding. This made me happy. It also […]
May 2014 Paris, Charles de Gaulle I like things that aren’t even wrong. They make me giggle. Interestingly, my body detect when things aren’t even wrong before my mind does. This often happens right in the middle of conversations. My mind directs me towards asking follow up questions in attempts to untangle the logic. Meanwhile, a sensation of […]
May 2014 Stockholm, Papas Deli All models are wrong, but some are useful – George E.P. Box First, the working title of my book is “Not even wrong”. I’d be surprised if you did not feel that the title warrants an explanation of sorts, but I’ll have to get back to you on that. What follows here […]
My dear friend and colleague Daniel wrote down some thoughts on a project he was part of during two glorious weeks of a Hemnet “Product Development Focus” time box.

May 2014 Stockholm, Scandic Grand Central So, I’ve decided to write a book. Writing is hard and a lot of work, and I need to make my intentions known to people so that they can make it their business to give me a hard time if I don’t actually write. For me, when it comes to writing, […]
Last night I had the pleasure to hear Jeff Gothelf, author of the wonderful book “Lean UX – Applying Lean Principles to Improve User Experience“, give a talk on the topic “How to build innovation teams”. I thought I’d give a brief report on what Jeff had to say and offer a few reflections of […]
I read a thought provoking question somewhere. The question read: “If you had a warning label, what would it say?”. A fine question. What would it say, indeed? I gave the matter some thought and the answer came to me almost immediately. My warning label would simply state: Stand back: INTP. For those of you who […]
