Following his presentation in Denmark last year, Nigel has been invited back to share his latest thinking about ways to help manage information overload. He's also going to share some of our Trexy work practices including how The Goo helps to increase productivity.
Here is a quick synopsis of his talk:Organisational Karma - Achieving Group "Flow"
Managing information overload while staying productive is a challenge on a personal and organisational level. "Flow" is a mental state of feeling productive and enjoying work while not becoming overloaded. How can information systems be designed so their users can achieve this illusive feeling of flow? This talk describes the preconditions for achieving flow and what functional elements are required. It looks at the causes of overload and describes a system that creates a personal and community memory which rewards its users with "karma" points to help them feel motivated.
