Phi Beta Iota: Although the search produces Graphics Directory A-Z as of 28 September 2010 and within that one can find Graphic: Robert Steele Adopts Buckminster Fuller that is too far from our preferred outcome. Here is the human in the loop answer: it's called the Dymaxion map.

Here are a whole bunch of images.

Within those, the two below are the most interesting. The second was used in a discussion between Buckminster Fuller and the Russian leadership, to show how a global electrical grid could be achieved that would eradicate the current 50% loss from source to end-user.

Reference: Golden Candle Pins & Candle Holders

About the Idea, Citizen-Centered, Multinational Plus, Reform

Phi Beta Iota: In response to a recent request, we have provided the ordering information for the Golden Candle pins (roughly a dollar each in quantity) and have found an improved lower cost but much smaller (3″ versus 6″ diameter) Golden Candle Holder that we recommend should anyone wish to replicate the concept of the award for their own purposes.

To order the pins, communicate withPinSource and make reference to OSS.Net, Inc. prior orders. They already have the art and specifications for the master pin (the original) and the tribal pins with outer rings as follows:

Academic Gold; Civil Society Brown; Commercial Gray; Government Red; Law Enforcement Black; Military Olive Drab; Media Orange; Non-Profit UN Blue.

Visualizing the difference between 20th and 21st Century management

I wrote last month about the biggest difference between 20th and 21st Century management. I said there that management in the 20^th Century was about achieving a finite goal: delivering goods and services, to make money. Management in the 21^st Century by contrast is about the infinite goal of delighting customers; the firm makes money, yes, but as a consequence of the delight that it creates for customers, not as the goal.

That’s a fairly abstract account of the difference. What does it mean in practice? Let’s bring that down to earth with a visual embodiment of it.

Phi Beta Iota: It's not just about functionality and ease of use–it is about what the handheld allows you to access, leverage, exploit, share, and made sense of. The handheld is a key, nothing more. That is why smart phones are history. It is the collective intelligence of all humans that is smart, first one with a dumb device and a full range of M4IS2 services in the cloud wins. Google is math hashing digital garbage–we are not betting on them.
