Real technological progress won’t be achieved until we have progress in social equality. When talented, intelligent people are marginalized because of gender, skin color, age, etc. we only tap into the most privileged of society to advance society, not the best of society.

3/9 Note - these are NOT functions or departments or titles. WE create each of those as structures to standardize, control and measure each element.

4/9 Again… even in a business with just 2 people, information is collected and moves inside (KM), people get acknowledged and paid (R&Rs), there is oversight and direction (L&M), etc… informal, unorganized, and often unrecognized yet ALL are happening.

7/9 As organizations grow, these seven elements accumulate structure with rules, processes, and protocols. Yes, all are necessary for scaling but dangerous to connection and engagement when left unquestioned.
